Just wondering if this could yield a few useful parts ?

Anyone heard of a block cracking on a V6 before ?

Bl**dy H*ll has anyone with a car that old paid nearly £1500 for repairs ?. A T reg at that ?. They could have bought that facelift one that needed a new bumper and a few bits for £850, and I bet a bit of BFI and £100 would have got it thro its MOT. Why do people not look at these things objectively ?. The poor succer is going to be out big time, when he could have had a decent car and saved a bundle. Its a shame when somebody gets mugged.  :'( :'( :'(

Don't know about being blind but I agree, £1500 on a car that's not worth that its self, isn't the wisest move he could've made!  ;D
