And that's without mentioning the other shaft I replaced in 2017 (was only £450 then, now £620) and the fuel tanks that got replaced around the same time (£1500 for the tanks) but the engines had to come out to get the tanks in/out so that adds the use of a crane as they have to come out through the sunroof (with 1" to spare) and weigh just shy of 500kg each with the gearboxes attached, the new stainless water tank, oh and a new calorifier pushing £600, and I'd rather replace a TDM battery at 10Ah than my 4x 110Ah things.

Then there's the 50 litres of diesel an hour @ 16-18 knots, ok on rivers at low speed but soon rattles through a few hundred quid for a sea trip, I never worry about MPG on the TDM.
