Can of petrol and box of Swan Vestas looming close by now, surely?

It's being sold as is.

For what they're being paid for it, might even wash it

Been collected.

Anyone disposing of newer cars with MoTs would be well advised to shop around before accepting basic scrap values.

Nissan offered my cousin £200 to dispose of it. She's being paid over 22 times that by a reputable salvage company.

Just a shame that after all of your hard work you didn’t get the desired outcome.

Yes it’s not good but better to have tried and failed than to not try at all👍

It may have simply needed a new timing kit and another day or two, but equally it could now actually need a new engine... All for a car that was going to be sold immediately. Cousin decided to cut her losses and get rid rather than investigate further.

I can't blame her and whilst I am pretty pissed off that considering it turned over by hand without issue that it has either snapped or thrown the chain, I am less inclined to pull the whole thing apart again. The fact that the crank now turns freely with a total lack of compression with all the valves closed isn't a good sign either, so on balance she's made the right decision.
