your welcome m8, for the sake of a couple of hundred pounds its worth a go to see if it cures the car, if not then you have the hard choice of throwing more money at it.
if it does not fixed it you have 2 options either scrap it for peanuts or break it, i would go down the break it road people are always after parts and ebay is your friend when it comes to breaking a car up, you have so many parts you can sell on that you will make money on it. just a thought Paul
