Court Appearance Tomorrow advice needed

I have a court apperance tomorrow regarding my arrears on my car the finance.
I'll try and give as many details as possible and any advice would be much appreciated.
I've had the loan with Black Horse for over 3 yrs but for the past 18months have struggled to pay the monthly amount. Sometime last year i received a court summons. I did not fill in the defence forms but contacted the solicitors directly and thru borrowing money from my parents managed to pay off the arrears and was able to make the payments directly to them for a few months. I know i have payed off over half the loan total but i haven't been able to pay anything since last november and i haven't spoke to them either. The summons i have now received only says that they want the amount remaining.
Does anybody know what i can expect to happen in court tomorrow and have any idea as to what i can do now. I need a car for work but it doesn't have to be this one. I've got virtually no free money. Any help would be much appreciated
