Doh
So when my car last broke (ok, crashed..) I had a tricky call to make. Spend £200 fixing it, hope its fixed enough to pass its next MOT and hope it stays fixed. Alternatively, I could get shot of it whilst it still had some value and take advantage of a momentary high point in my finances and buy a new car.
I made the wrong decision.
Today, at approximately 7:50 and whilst driving through the Medway Tunnel, the head gasket went. Now we can attempt to fix it ourselves, probably costing in the region of £100, or send it to a garage and get it fixed for around £1000… The car’s current value? About £50 for scrap.
I guess its time to learn how an engine works then.
