Broken timing belt-parts or scrap - 10/11/2008 16:01
Hi guys
I have just called the AA out and been informed that my timing belt is buggered. You guys would know better than me that this is not a cheap job to get done and I dont have the mech skills to do myself.
Bottom line is i dont think i can afford the repairs at mo so am having to decide the now best course of action. Unless anyone knows a good mechanic that will do at good price as opposed to going to a main stream garage.
Should i sell as a job lot to someone for spares or as scrap value? What might u get for either option? Even if some one wants to strip down and then i scrap whats left?
We are talking a 16v Turbo in Blue N Reg, basic car, good condition black leather interior, no enhancements but in good condition for year.
Its a sad day as I love driving this car that i have owned for a couple of years.
The car is located in County Durham.
