Repair is the best thing to do financially.
What's wrong with the F? Did you diagnose the starting issue as the pump?

I think there is no spark. It's more off the cards for now as the passat has put a damper on all things motoring. I'm just going to hold on until I'm enjoying working on it again

More Awards

Most prolific purchaser (could be me, think I've gone through 5 this year so far)

Best purchase (dunno, none of mine anyway, perhaps Matt Simmis' S8?)

Best banger (My Lexus )

It could be as I haven't tested it yet. I was told to test that before ordering the other parts but I haven't had a chance to do that yet, or how to
