oh no Angie, so sorry to hear about the car. Its just a nightmare isnt it.

on the plus side, scrap metal is fetching a good price....if its really that bad take it to the scrappies.....we got £350 for an old saab last year!!

TQ that would be an option if it was an old banger, but its an 05 renault scenic and my very kind step dad paid 2k to buy us the beneficial interest in it, so we wouldn't lose the car in our BR !

Still, its going on a diagnostic unit on friday then we will find out for definite what work needs doing. Will just have to keep it off the road till we can afford the repairs.

On the positive side more walking for me might shift some of my excess weight

oh no, crikey, you don't expect big problems with newish cars...eek and double eeek!!

one idea...is there a local college which does motor mechanics courses? a friend of mine teaches on one, and they offer quite competitive prices on repairs, although obviously they tend to only be able to do fairly basic stuff.

Ooh good idea TQ, might look into that, thank you

Have had our fair share of old bangers/money pits so just hoping this is a one off repair, we'll see.

Thanks again x
