Thumbs down just declared the vec s.o.r.n

first time ive ever done it while owing a car feed up with it costing a fortune to run and the exhaust sounding like it is farting all the time due to the flexi being shot the air bag light coming on even after tech 2 switched it off and carnt find a problem ?

the rust is starting to annoy me as is the front splitter which catches on everthing and ive not even lowered it yet , there is a squeak from the n/s front shocker only over speed bumps? the thrust bearing has started making a noise it needs another new tyre cambelt needs changing and full service needs doing hand brake needs sorting needs to be tighter ,

all in all its a great car with a lot of power for 160 thou and has never let me down but its time to 3.0l it or fix up an sell or sell as is as its not worth much either way .......

dont know what to do for the best now

its a hard decision, but ultimately one only you can make!

I have 3 cars just now, and hate the thought of parting with any of them. I have the advert all written up for one of them, but scared to post it.

If you can keep it without it being a burder on you then do, but remember it will only depreciate in value. The other thing is do you really wanna spend alot of money on a conversion on a car that you dont know if you want any more?

*big hugs*

Minor stuff really then..

If you intend ding cambelt etc just do that to a 3ltr and put that in, as for the airbag light, remove it, chances are in a car of it's age it wouldn't work anyway.
