Thanks, Mikey and Kevin. I've just read your replies as well.
I think I will take it to our trusty local garage then, get them to do a thorough safety inspection & follow their advice. We've used them for about 12 years and have found them to be honest and not expensive.
But if I took it to our Honda dealer, I'm sure they'd find all sorts of expensive things wrong with it! I've saved lots of money by using the small garage instead of the Honda dealer.
The strange thing is, that while our Honda dealer is expensive, I've found just the opposite with two Toronto Subaru dealers. The Subaru dealers usually quote much lower prices than the local garage.
hock: :? Maybe it's because the Subaru is so specialized that the little guy can't compete with the parts prices?
