after a string of probs the latest being alternator with my 2001 2.6 est is it time to throw in the towel...the mot is due soon will need 2x tyres..new n/s exhaust section ive got an ongoing prob with the front wheel bearings plus emisssions well a miracle i think to get it through love the car but where do you draw the line...
-
2 tyres, £140?
Exhaust, £120
Wheel bearing, £100 say?
You would spend more then that sourcing a replacement, easy.
Just fix it :y
-
Can get tyres around here £35 each if all you want is rubber on your wheels......
All of those things are basic wear and tear items that will need replacing/repairing regardless of what car you drive.........!!
Keep itif I were you.....!
If you're not keeping it, then you are valuing your car at less than £400 so can I buy it please......!!!!
:y
-
i hear what ur saying about keeping it...didnt mention the intermitent missfire...and damage to rear bumper...£400...its yours.... :P

Misfire probably coil pack? Rear bumper.....£not much.....
Come on mate, keep her, if you cant afford to sort her surely you cant afford to sell her and replace her with something else.....
