The total bill was just around £300, that was for the parts and labour , bearing in mind they have to strip all the front down and get the old fan out and replace it.

• PCP? 6 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  Hi    For the past 5yrs i have been saving for a car and in the next 10 months will be have saved £11,500 to use on the car but am unsure which path to go down , i have been told to go down the PCP route as many of my family have a car this way and the idea of it appeals to me but there is one thing i dont get and that at the end you have 3 options the option i would choose is to excange it but im not sure if my understanding is correct , my understanding is that if you choose to go into another car then they use the OFP to put down on a new car so the car im looking at has a OFP of £15k so my understanding is they use the OFP of £15k onto your next car.
