Following on from the Oil Pump Chain thread then it looks like it's decision time regarding fixing the Tourer!
Pros:
2004 car
147,000 miles but was running sweet especially since the Fahad re-map
Tow bar which I need
Just put four new tyres on it.
Exec version and love all the toys
Got a new air con compressor on its' way for it so would soon have that working again
Satisfies all my requirements
Cons:
Repair is going to be between £1,000 - £1,500 I expect
Unsure what other damage may have been done during ~20secs of running without oil prressure
Does the value of the car warrant spending that amount?
Could buy a similar car for that amount but will it have had the exhaust manifold fix? the timing chain replaced?
Do I spend a little more and go for an 8th generation? Are they better or worse?
