Hi all
I am back finally decided to start the work on my pug after it failed its MOT on the rear axle bearing ive just spent two weeks splitting my axle and after hitting my hand with the sledge i finally got the passenger torsion bar out of the axle as i only need to change one side (inner and outer bearing and dust seal)
my only thing now is everyone is saying mot the car and sell it because i have only had the car 1 year and the repair list is as follows
clutch
hand brakes cables (Both)
Top sus mounts (Both)
Wishbones (Both)
track rod ends (Both)
Drop links (Both)
Rear exhaust box
Brake pads (Wear & Tear)
All Discs (Wear & Tear)
Lambda Sensor (Front and rear)
Abs Sensors (Front & rear Drivers side)
Radiator (plymouth rads)
Lower radiator pipes (From Dealer)
And this is in one year
Things to still do
renew rear cailpers
axle bearing
passenger seat does not recline
sort oil leak
replace exhaust rubbers
REMOT
i am in two minds to keep for sell it does still have finance out on the car if i was to sell i am still willing to pay it

You will need to check with your finance company as technically you don't own the car. You might be able to trade it in if you got extra finance with them though.

As long as you keep on top of servicing the shell will rust away before the engine goes kaput.
