Silver lining i suppose :)

Thats bad luck, the joys of buying from auctions, I bought my first car a mk 2 cavalier a week later the engine died, turned out it had been bodged up to get through the auctions, you just don't get enough time to check them out I feel and then end up buying something you don't want.

only problem car ive ever got from the auctions, and between me and my family i reckon over 20years we have had about 30-40 cars

yeah its not all bad agreed I just seem to be the worlds unluckiest person when it comes to cars.

thats the prob, ourlass is really unlucky and as soon as her name was on the reg document i knew it would all end in tears lol

gasket will be done on sat, at a cost of £200, could get it done cheaper by using cheaper parts but thought i would pay the extra for the better parts

 

so im getting new timing belt, new headgasket set with bolts, coolant, oil, air filter, plugs and leads fitted for £200, cant grumble at that

Sounds like a good price to me Al :)

 

And best of all it'll be spot on for your woman :D

should get it back tomorrow, luckily it was just the gasket, ourlass is over the moon lol
