May have to sell the willy :(

[MatrixGuy]

My car is due to have a new cambelt, clutch and various other vital work to be done on it.

Now, my gf was going to help me pay for it but now she can't, so basically am fuvked and the bill is going to be in excess of £500, which i cant afford!!

I have pretty much maxed out my credit cards and i dont really know what to do.

Selling this car would be a major blow.

Having been through a few difficult years with my life buying this car really made me feel happy again, sounds sad, but its strange what little things can do.

It also got me into car detailing which i now do in my spare time, but without the car i would quickly lose interest.

Sorry for the rant.

Sell some things...£500 is alot when u havnt got it, but its not out of grasp if you sell a few spares or unwanted possesions...

pm me a list of parts you require ,I know where I can get original equpiment Renault parts at the right price, I could meet you at the Crooklands junction of the M6,for a few quids worth of petrol I am near Burnley ~~ It will save you a few quid,I aint a mechanic,so other than bolting things on etc etc ,I would not be much use.

Wow, you guys are very kind and helpful, really means alot to me!

cliorod; i think my mechanic can get parts fairly cheap too but i am also unsure on the part codes.

theres always people willing to help id do the lot for nowt if i had the know how i think people realise what its like when its tight ect and dont mind helping others out, its good to be apart of a comunity like this for these reasons. good luck.

[MatrixGuy]

Well said bendee, definately is a great community here!

Mate, do you need the car as an every day runner? If not my advice would be to take the car off the road for a few months, then buy a part each month using discounts available on here (most part codes are in the members section). Then when you have have all parts needed put a message out on here asking someone to do the work for a small fee (or a few beers!), I'm sure somebody would take you up on the offer (some people on here are very handy with the spanners!) Hopefully things will be a bit better for you by then and the willy will be back on the road...

Good luck anyway!
