Morning!
I believe the people in my older posts re me losing water were right about the radweld not fixing the water leak (ah well!)
This week the poor Cento got frozen up and water pump blew and took fan belt with it. The car made it ten miles before overheated (50 foot from garage!) and they put new water pump , fan belt and coolant on for £130. They then said that their was whistling noise from water resovoir and that cylinder head needs testing but is probably about to go and would be about another £250 min (or they said take chance and just put gasket on and no skimming)
I am now considering scrapping poor spike as the value of car is abot £400 and the repairs would be about £380 min.
Where is best place to take car , scrappers, thost nice internet places that collect your car ,how much would a garage give on trade if was paying about £1k for a car, or would anyone be interested in taking it for parts.
At the moment they say it starts and runs a bit rough but is driveable.
It is such a shame as prior to this it was doing over 40mg , had brand new clutch , recon gearbox , backplate and new tyres and still looks good too..
Cheers in advance
