this has to be the luckiest day i have had in a long time as it through the aux belt and it did not go into the timing belt then as i got up off the ground a hgv service van pulled up to the pump next to me and evan help out too so that's the the luck. now for the bad bit shes broken and i am not shour it worth the parts as the mots next mouth and one of the seat belt anchor points has rusted out and i know that i need a track rod end and then theirs the other stuff that it will fail on and its been written off in the past heavy fount end damage.

Sorry to hear that :cry:

HDi 110 isn't it?

There's no shortage of them about -- depending how picky you are (OK, so for Stu there are very few about :lol: )

So based on that I'd say it's had it's chips.

If it were something "classic" like a 1.9 or a 2.2 they I'd consider persevering, but not for a 110 unless it's amazing super exec spec with every possible extra and in immaculate condition.

And I kind of said the same about my own: it has served admirably, but it's nothing special and is eminently replaceable. At nearly 200k we're into the end game now, and when it's done it's done.

ye she's a 110 with a 90 engine and possible ecu with dogey electrics and chassis twisted up like a pretzel and rusty , god knows what the mileage is as i think the dials where replaced with the dash.

so ye a got a bit of a shiter but the good thing is that it may well be broken for parts

oh and don't for get the miss fire and 1500rpm

I wouldn't feel sentimental about breaking that!
