Sadly, it looking like I will have to break my old girl.
A noise that started after a 600 mile roundtrip, continues to elude diagnosis and I've reached the point where I can't justify throwing any more money at a car with 173k on the clock that's worth at best... £1000. Especially when it threw up an airbag warning light as well this week.
I'll run it around for a while longer because it's still got a full tank of fuel in it, but I'm not willing to throw more money at it. It's a shame because MoT runs out July 2019... and everything else works, and she still got me 54mpg on that trip.
If I tried to sell it as is... it'd probably be as spares or repair.. and I wouldn't get much... if I break it.. I'll get enough out of it to cover some jobs that I want to do on it's replacement.
I'll be putting stuff up on ebay next month... and will be driving it for at least the rest of this month unless it breaks down... I'll throw some links up on here too if anyone is interested.
I'm actually partially disabled myself these days.. so I can't crawl over and under cars like I used too... So some items will be remove yourself only I'm afraid... But that means I'll let them go for a little less too. Not looking to ask silly money like some ebay chancers do... Sensible prices for all members., and ebay prices below average.
