well visited the garage this morning, who stated as the car is a 16v there is a 90% chance the valves are gone and need repairing,
he's suggested two options:
option 1: to repair which his quote is aprox £350, but he's said he can leave the parts to me if I want
option 2: to replace enginer, he said he got a few freinds who own scrapyards and may be able to get a replacement for £200, then would charge £150 for replacing it, costing again aprox £350, thats only if he can get an engine for £200
what do you reckon? I was looking at another car, but that would cost me aprox £1000 which I cannot afford.
Opinions please
