Anticipated Costs

[sye73]

Thanks for everyones advice.
This will inevitably turn into a "how far do you go" project! I have been wanting to get my 855r back on the road for some time now but the prospect of big bills and where to stop has put me off. I don't have the mechanical expertise to undertake the vast majority of work that'll be needed (hence asking about garage charges to do belts/PCV), consequently I'll be relying on professional services, and their charges..

Becasue cost will always be a consideration, it is very difficult to know how to prioritsie things. There's no point doing a cambelt service and replacing the PCV etc if I then find I need 4 shocks, discs/pads all rounds plus a couple of new calipers, for example. Similarly, there's no point doing all of the smaller jobs first only to find the cambelt goes!
