If your current car is fundamantally reliable and goes through the MOT ok every year, and all else is hunky dory ie engine etc, then sometimes it can be a case of better the devil you know and get your car fixed rather than buy another car that may be a lemon. Phone round for some quotes on the clutch and see how you get on.0

Your user ID implies that you don't really want to get further in to debt, think long and hard about it.
