Thanks everybody for all your replies
I think you are probably all correct and I should just accept the reality of the situation.
Having said that the guy who had a look at the car and agreed to attempt a repair is someone i know well and I am going to take the day off and be present at his workshop when the inspection takes place.
If I have any doubts about future safety I will not proceed
If you see an advert in the spares for sale section in a couple of weeks time from me you will know what the outcome was.
