I don't really want to get rid, but just baring in mind options in case it is not economically viable to keep running it. Still looking for blo*dy hockey sticks too; missing the whole set which really annoys me!! Thanks all again

I don't think of it as "economically viable" as surely it's better to spend on a known car rather than blowing a wad on another car that is unknown.
This is me. I would even have a go at installing a new engine or gearbox if it went as I know it.
My Sister bought a 2003 Volvo S40 1.9d S For £750 and realised after the clutch was shot. £300 for a new clutch, then the ignition barrel collapsed another £150. Final thing failing to start, then going along and blew a load of black smoke out the exhaust and running on and finally the engine seizing. Scrapped
If I was you I would stick with what you know.
Snap on a drivers side rear hockey stick!
