What should i do
Right just about had enough with this damn car now.
I have tried and tried to get this engine to work, but nothing. Still nothing. Im no expert, but experts cost money, and that is something i just found out, i dont have very much of.
I have 2 kids and a wife and they all rely on me for both money and car. This car has taken far too long to fix, and it still isnt fixed.
For an expert it wouldnt take long at all i wouldnt have thought, but i cant afford to do anything else with it.
I thought about calling the RAC, but i dont have that option on my card, and it would cost an extra £60, but i dont even have that to spend.
I need a car. As a last resort i even contemplated selling the fu** and buying another.
i understand i wont get what i paid for it and the fact it doesnt have service history will detere a lot of buyers, but my intention was to keep it till the end of its life anyway, so i wasnt fussed about service history
I just need a working car and i need it now. Dont have any more money to throw at it.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Stick with it, you'll get spanked trying to off load a non-runner.
You need a proper guru on the job, the RAC will probably check all the sensors are connected, and tow it for you....
imho

yea, was considering breaking at one point.
Its a week and a half till i get some more money and get it seen to properly.
The RAC although a good option, will only tow it 10 miles, as the car is parked at my house address.
The mrs keeps telling me to stick with it aswel. All that hard work, for no reward.

Shocking isnt it
No knight in shining armour around this neck of the woods.
In fairness, there has been one guy come around to help, but that was more on the big bits, not diagnosing these problems
