Hi,
I'm in Tamworth too.
Always a dilemma but if she goes for scrap what are you going to buy next? It sounds like you know her pretty well and have spent many hours with her so all the "usual" stuff is already sorted. And this is one of the best forums I've found
.
If you have the time and will to get stuck in (again
) then go for it. If not, have a chat with Graham at Ashby Road Garage. 01827 64459.
I've used them a fair amount over the last 6-7 years with several different cars and found them to be decent, honest and reliable. Assuming it was the ATS by Morrisons and the BP garage he's about 1/2 mile away heading towards the M42/A444 island.
Good Luck with getting it sorted.
Andy.
