I won't replace the camshaft chain, so if I still have Hägar by then, it'll do until it snaps.

Anything serious breaks, or fails the technical check, and Hägar is heading for a car salvage lot.
A new battery is about the limit of what I'm prepared to spend on it at any given time - I might even get a salvage battery.

I'm totally done spending good money on this car.



If it doesn't get much worse, I'll live with a bit of occasional jerkiness.


Lemme throw in a few a's with umlaut for ya

Welcome to bangernomics

I'm sad to see this thread turn out this way,you've fought a good fight..surely there has to be scope for some American style litigation?

Good luck with running it into the ground,sometimes that can be fun too
