I drove mine everywhere to start with plus I was taking bands gear out to gigs too, but my salary to fuel-price ratio was significantly better in 2003 than it is now. I had a puddle of brake fluid in the 2nd month - caliper from the breakers was £30 something inc delivery and a mate helped me fit it. Otherwise only had basic consumables go on it and a rusty drivers side wheel arch that seemed to need constant rust attention - probably my bad bodywork skills tbf.
