The answer to his problem is in post 4

The cost of the replacement, plus anything that car needs will cost more than fixing yours, both in time and money...

Even hiring a Corsa from Enterprise for a week whilst your current car is repaired will be cheaper in the long run...

Thinking that but desperate having to get here and there .the garage has said it is not worth doing . Will keep it and work on getting it fixed will use the other one for now  .

Fixing is cheaper than replacing... I would suggest booking it in with either Daz or Serek. Daz is nearer, but Serek might have better availability. Then book a hire car to meet you at where you get it repaired.

That way you remain mobile and your original car gets fixed. And with less hassle/cost than getting a second car, (which will also cost you money in the short term).

Oh, and don't use the garage who said it's not worth it, as they will take your money and bodge it.

Thanks for your advice i have phoned a frend who helped me fix it the first time and he has said he will fixit for me just have to get parts he is coming up from london to see it in a week so fingers crossed all will be ok 

[Steve B]

yes  Fingers crossed 

[05omegav6]

Nice one

If it becomes undriveable in the meantime then simply rent a small runaround... that way you have no insurance/tax complications

p.s. this just reminded me, if you buy a replacement car, then you also need to budget for taxing it

[paul_g]

Yes taxing it is not a problem as i get disabled tax for my mum  . It is only drivable on short distance about 3 mile then just cuts out with the missfire  :

[05omegav6]

Ok, don't drive it too far until its sorted

Just so I'm clear on this, would this be the friend who fixed a blown head gasket on the car that, possibly, has another blown head gasket?

Got to be better than the garage who don't think it worth it
