Just had my 245 back from the garage after a complete front and back supension overhaul. Now feels like it's on rails. £1000 for another 20 years of running? Or a 3 year old Fiat 500 in the bay oposite me that needed a new cylinder head after 20,000 miles? 240's are going upupup, 'speshially the 70's beasts. Keep him and shell out slowly if you can. I reckon you'll always regret it. Just sayin'

Thanks for all the above very helpful advice. I am 51 and this is only my 3rd ever car, (the second was a 1980 245 Auto and even this is still down the side of the house!), so you can see that change is an agonising process for me. I have never done my own mechanics and this turns relatively straightforward hobby jobs for the skilled DIY man into expensive tasks for me on garage rates. Rest assured, it ain't going for scrap.

What's holding you back from having a go at your own maintenance? You're already tuned in to a massive knowledge base on here and quality tools are much more affordable these days. You don't have to start with a full engine rebuild but with a bit of research and planning you could save yourself a considerable amount of money over time. We all started somewhere
