Should I sell my Corsa or not?
Sep 23rd
Hello all
Bought my first car a 1994 Corsa for £430 3 weeks ago, brokedown 3 times, I thought it was battery but turns out it was cam belt that had caused damage to engine pistons/valves that are now bent and need replacing at a cost of £350 as well as the cam belt at £125! Now, considering I am still paying £67 a month for insurance and breakdown cover, should I cut my losses and just sell it for cheap to a mechanic who may be interested, or should I fork out the money and hope the car is worth it??? Now, I know the car was dirt cheap, but it was all I could afford at the time and YES i should have taken a mechanic with me, but all these lessons I have learnt, so please no lectures or rude comments! I just dont know what to do? Ps, have been told these cars last a long time, although it 13 years old already.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Thanks guys
my car has broken down?

I bought a citroen c4 about 7 months ago, the car still has 13 months warrenty on it. I had it serviced in Jan at my local citroen garage, I felt that it didn’t run quite as well as before it was serviced. About a week ago I heard a very slight tapping noise, yesterday the screen flashed that there was a antipollution problem and the car started loosing power. I took it back to the citroen garage, who now say that the fuel filter is full of dirt and it not covered under warrenty, I normally get my fuel from my local tesco, but it is not unusual if I’m out of the area to pop into anther garage for fuel. The bill looks as though it will be the best part of £1,000, I’m devastated, is there anything else I can do regarding getting this sorted?
