Spend the €1k and drive it till it dies. You'd get nothing for it now as it is but it's definitely worth fixing.

I think so too. You've a good reliable car, that needs some tlc, but you know its history, faults and how its been looked after.

Trade up and you could be kicking youself for buying a heap of trouble.
