Well after months and months of trying to fic the car and chaning all the small thing the car has decided to show me with smoke what is wrong with her.


On saturday afternoon i was due to drive to my mechanic and show him the idle sound, basicly dropping cylinder and sound a little like a subaru on tick over and love revs, very lumpy.

On start up the engine was struggling to turn over on the 3rd attemt it wouldn't budge. On the 4th attempt was rough and the smoke signal came, after a short tick over and slow drive the smoke went and the car ran fine, we had a look around everything and my though was confirmed when we did the colour change test (oil in the water)

The car had just got a new rear wiper, and mot which it failed on anti roll linkage which I knew about 2 years ago just waited till it failed an mot, Had a retest with a new set and a retest which it passed with flying colours.

1 week on and she just gave up and will be going to scrap or breaking. Not sure what i shall do tbh as not to mobile around a car at present and a matter of time.

But i think the pug 206 days may be leaving me, at least i didn't crash her not that she goes that quick anyway.

RIP little Pug Sad

Well breaking would defineltly see a better return cash wise, just a case of having the time to break everything down and store it but of course scraping it would get it off your hands quicker.

Personally I'd strip down some of it and see if any members on here where after certain parts, then once everyone's had what they wanted get it scrapped! Plenty of scrapy's will come and collect for free, sure the price may not be as much as a whole car but ya know, giving back to the community and all that malarky Laughing Wink
