How much have you spent on that car in total now, not counting
petrol etc ?

Off the top of my head.

Two power steering pumps and racks £2500
Subframe £2200.
Alternator, water pump and belts £1000
Three camchains £ £2400
Suspension parts, springs, dampers, arms etc £2000
Clutch £1000
Body work after our lass pranged it £1500
Plugs, MAF sensor, crankshaft sensor, radio fitting and light bulbs
£600 So around - £13200, which is what I paid for it and new it was
£25000, so I have saved £1400 on the new price.

Bloody hell, my car is that old and has had no repairs done.
The only thing it has needed are servicing and some wiper blades.
Your car is what's known as a lemon.

I thought northerners were sensible with money....

Even if that stereotype had some truth in it,
there will always be some exceptions, stupid.

The exceptions should be deported!
