The good bit is that you still have to buy it at the cost price after all those months of hiring it :shock:

Yeah, they have changed the wording from last night, is not not quite so expensive as it was before and basically all you pay is a 10% per month premium till you can afford the part.

Still a con though.....

Just for a moment assume somebody does take them up on this?

How are you going to come to an accurate valuation of, say a fuel pump?

If item fails whilst on hire, unit fails and causes you to lose control somehow, you crash, who pays for what?

But then saying that, would quite happily pay £5-50 a month for a decent 2.3 engine :lol: :lol: :lol:
