cheers all. i think a 1 or 2TB drive i keep at my parents would do the trick. as TB mentions i dont need to access it. Just a backup if the something happens to my flat.

But surely they'll let you take the hard drive when they repossess the flat & contents Mark?

Considering my income has increased by 35% in recent months that's unlikey.

Does that mean you can afford the missing two cylinders now?

Yes, but perhaps not the increase in the laundry bill.

I have always considered an upgrade to a V6 Elite, one with all the toys. But my 2.2 has in 6 years, never let me down, now with gas its uber cheap to run, it cruises at 80 just as well as the V6 (just takes a little longer to get there)

But what it comes down to is selling my 2.2, its worthless, but its had fresh oil every 3k since about 90k (now on 155k) I know its history and runs well, it also owes me nothing.

It also tows a dead V6, very nicely

Fair point. A car that's been looked after is worth more to you than anyone else is going to pay for it.

Very true indeed.

Though I did laugh at the laundry comment

I would go and buy a NAS box, plug it in at your "remote location" and rsync to it every so often, personally.

rsync probably isn't that ideal at that amount of data, esp over ADSL.

More importantly, can you see a point and click useless student being able to modify those rsync configs

Thats why you should keep it going until its not worth fixing.  Apart from wear, particularly pot 1 (and I'd hope yours should be good from that respect with sensible oil changes, and not much thrashing), those things will go on for a while yet.

That said, yours is approaching the dead cert HG change...
