    hi lads,

    just started another tread looking for a car, well i also want rid of a toyota corrola with 2 new tyres, other 2 are about 6 months old.
    recently passed NCT, so new CV joints were fitted.

    i'm told the engine is gone, but it's still driving, barely, very little power.

    donedeal or anyone know of a scrap yard that would take it off my hands.

    Toss it up on adverts and donedeal and see what people are willing to offer.

    Definately very good idea if OP would want to keep a car. Otherwise it'd cost at least 50% of car's value. ;)

    Galway Scrap Metal pay by weight for stuff they can recycle, you'd probably get about €100 for it off them.

    Forgot to add something last time - OP's been told engine's gone, but IMO is unlikely to happen, as all of them 4E-FE engines are quite bulletproof actually. So maybe there's a hope to repair it without spending much €€€. :)
