Crikey..when I read some of your service bills I'm really glad I do my own! £120 for front pads..really?
They are quite large...
Check the price for pads for all other cars that have the performance of the +8. Quite a lot of energy to ablate.
Bentley charge £768.44 a set for front pads! OK they are for the carbon/ceramic brakes, but really...
Front Pads Pleasure always has a price....!
An interesting thread Peter and whilst at my friendly Morgan dealer the other day the topic of Aero servicing/running costs came up, mainly as there was a rather nice Aero 2.5 there(series 2 with series 3 engine and bits). Anyway with an average 6K a year you can expect bills of £2-2.5K per annum, without tyres or fuel. The discussion we had was along the line of its a 160+mph super car so this is to be expected. I am not surprised and fits with my experience with Ferraris. Porsche can be more a little more controlled but those I owned generally averaged £1500 per year, as long as nothing went wrong, a 944 Turbo gearbox rebuild by a specialist 20 years ago cost me £5K, half of it was replaced and labour was £35/hour. Some years it is less other more.
Just because its a Morgan does not mean its cheap to run.
