When it grinds to a halt, i'm assuming you have checked and there is fluid in the slave cylinder? If not, it is 100% a cylinder leak, either master or slave.
Although, why your garage wouldn't know that would be a mystery, so it can't be that simple.

Aye, there is.

So they don't know for sure where the problem lies. Hence it could become very labour-intensive, especially as the slave cylinder is on the gearbox.

In better news, my dad has offered to lend me the money to get something else, as long as it's from a garage and comes with a 3mo warranty and 12mo MOT.

I've found a 120k 52 plate Octavia TDI six miles away so I'm going to risk the Bora up there shortly.

Clutch release bearing I would expect in that case, if there is still fluid in the cylinder. Which means opening up the gearbox to diagnose/fix, which I agree just isn't worth it.

Good luck on the drive!

Rather than scrapping it, I would recommend putting it on ebay for no reserve and explain the symptoms of the problem. Someone will buy it and you may get more than you expect, plus they will come and take it away for you. I once got £300 for an old E28 5 series with a blown engine that way, I only paid £300 for it in the first place when it was working!

Wow. Shenzhen already has about 17,000 electric buaes: (100% of the fleet): https://cleantechnica.com/2018/01/01/sh ... axis-next/

At Google I/O I saw a Jaguar iPace (the all-electric SUV). It looked really nice. For the size of the car, the cabin space was enormous, as electric drive trains are so compact compared to IC ones. (This one was also a concept Waymo self-driving one. Jaguar is delivering tens of thousands of those starting in 2020, apparently.)

I don't think there's a problem to solve on building nice electric cars. Fast charging and charger availability are the things to fix.

Made it! Octavia is in decent nick for its age, but they've only just brought it in so needs a few things doing first (rear driver side window needs replacing, central locking issue). It's only 103k miles for a car that's older than this Bora that's done 196k.

It's only 110bhp, but I'll pull through somehow.

Mines a 110 TDi (ASV), they're a good engine and there's plenty of stuff that can be done to them.

Very economical and cheap tax too.

Yeah, they're giving me £100. So I'm £700 down on the deal. Obviously with hindsight I wish I'd done this in the first place, but I didn't have £1,300 for a car. Now it's ended up costing close to £2k so I could've got the Merc fixed.

Hopefully this car will last me a few years and I can soon forget about this desperately sad period of car ownership.

Is five cars in two years worse than Hearthly now?

Sold my Clio in 2016 after four years as I wanted something bigger.
After a year decided I was too old for the Civic Type R and the looks I was getting because it was so loud.
Merc was great and suited me to a tee until I started delivering parcels in it and getting 25mpg at best. Then failed its MOT.
The Bora wins for shortest ownership period of any car I've had by a huge margin.
Now the Octavia.

Got the kids a car last week so they can all learn to drive. It's pretty much a necessity I think, being able to get yourself around.

It's a 1.2 16v Fiesta Zetec so it's an absolute flying machine obviously, and has all the mod-cons. Rear spoiler, cassette player, manual windows, metallic paint, AC. Only 34,000 miles but it's 19 years old.

No cup holders though. Well, it has little recesses in the glove box but that doesn't count.

My car is a 2017 Golf GTD so... the Fiesta was.... Interesting. Got it up to 90 though! After accelerating down hill for half a mile. It felt solid, it slowed down fine and was smooth through the gears. Be alright for them I think.

I forgot it didn't have parking sensors or a camera so almost reversed into a wall.

You can totally replace that radio. In fact I insist you do. With a massive gaudy Halfords model. Double DIN all the way!

It's needs an ill-fitting Blaupunkt with a subwoofer in an mdf box in the boot, really.

I ordered them a tape to aux adapter, and an aux to lightning cable adapter because of course they all have iPhones.

Tinted window film and some No Fear stickers are next on the list.

34,000k! Tidy. You can get tape adapters to plug into your phone etc for about £3 on eBay.

The main thing is it has alloys.

Yeah, the old lady that had it last owned it for 15 years and has just gone into a home at age 86. It's absolutely immaculate inside too.

Got the tape adaptor on the way mate - I know what I'm doing B)

Having a penchant for original condition 90s performance cars, i've been through a lot of these. There is a Panasonic one that is actually ok. Doubt they make them anymore though.

I found the ones I've had* to be great, there have been a couple that had a better 'side' though. So if it's shite put the 'tape' in the other way up.

*needed more than one due to the wire to the headphone jack breaking.

A colleague has just gone through this for the 1992 Corvette C4 he recently imported. He reports they’ve actually gotten worse, somehow, because they’re so niche now the better ones are no longer being made so you’ve only got the bottom-of-the-barrel ones left.

I have absolutely no doubt you're all right but consider the following:

1. When I'm in the car with them, the radio will be on rather than the shite they listen to.
2. Tape thing plus iPhone adaptor + postage cost less than £10 so I ain't expecting incredible sound quality or longevity.
3. It's not my car so I don't care what the stereo is like.
4. If they want Bluetooth capabilities, they can buy their own cars.
5. I have Queen: It's a Kinda Magic on cassette.
6. 13 Reasons Why has made cassettes popular and trendy.
7. It's retro. Its uncoolness makes it extremely cool.

Fin.

If the 16 and 19yo assholes I call children, who could probably kill you with the looks of disdain they give, think it's cool then it's cool. I am not arguing with them, what do you think I am, insane!?

It is a curious natural phenomenon that any cassette tape left in a car for an extended period of time will become Queen's first Greatest Hits album.

Rang up about my car today as they said last week it'd be ready "early next week". Turns out the owner of the garage died so they're a couple of days behind.

I had a nice chat with him as he was getting his BMW 330ci ready for the 'Ring last week. I don't think it was related. :'(

It might be now. He also had a Saxo stripped out with roll cage for UK track days and a Polo GTI with stage 3 remap and turbo.
