I genuinely think you’ve made the right choice. Worst case you buy a throwaway 500 panda multijet with a 6 month mot on it, for less than the cost of repairs and then scrap that too when the MOT comes and you’d still be better off.
There was a time not that long back that any 1.3 multijet car was worth a lot of money. Even old 2004/05 multijet puntos will still sell for up to £1000, but now the cost of repairs is outstripping the value. The only other option would be a scrappy engine, with half decent milage but I’d still want to replace the unknown chain and probably the oil pump too.
How much money Is your time worth, you can lay under a car all day and get nowhere or just buy another car and be done with it,
