I understand and agree. In 2014, I spent 4000 GBP on the car in mechanics bills, parts and major works. I thought do I spend this money on doing the repairs or do I call it a day and use the money to buy a used Ford Fiesta? Since then, the car has not given any major headaches and all the work is carried out by the forum gurus. Not only do they know what they are doing, they also don't rip us off.
