First post, so apologies if this is in the wrong place !
Took my car to the garage as it seemed to be 'missing' for a second or two when accelarating.
Bad news they said, at least one of the valves has gone, and to replace this I am looking at least £300, but they would need to remove the cylinder head to be sure. They also said bear in mind my car has 8 valves, so if any of the others need replacing, then the cost will go up.
To be honest, I don't even know what a valve is... lol. But does anyone know if this cost sounds about right?
I don't want to give up on my beloved cinqy just yet, so any advice will be appreciated ! XXX
