    What Point does it become uneconomical to repair?

    My accord is still going! 101,000 miles on the clock, 52 plate......and going strong(ish). Last year it's cost £800 to keep on the road. New clutch, service, welding, new power steering pipe, and other repairs. Considering the cars value is only around £800 (max), at what point do most...

    Said they were worn and that was about it really. I think if it stays dry this weekend I'll take a look myself. They might just need cleaning up and regreasing. If not, then I'll order some new ones.
