^^ This.
I spoke to my local specialist yesterday to see what they suggestion would be.
Two options:
1. Repair - take out engine, check what's wrong, fix and replace - £2500+ depending on if it's 'just' the head and it could be replaced with a second hand one. This would give a cost to me of about £10K in total, to have a car worth about £6K. So £4k down.
2. Scrap it. Gave me the name of a breaker who's indicated he'll give me between £2500-3000 as a scrapper for breaking. This would give me a total of cost of £4.5K for no car.
I'm weighing up the options now, not much in it, but leaning towards just fecking scrapping the pile of junk and taking the loss of £4.5K. At least that way I can do the deal now and go looking for something else rather than wait 2 months for this one to be fixed and then await the next disaster to kick in.
Such a shame, nice cars, but engines made from papier mache!
Back to my Jaaags next I reckon, never had one cost me this much to fix in almost 25 years of running them.
