This will get sorted in January and then up for sale. It's worth a grand I reckon.

Christ that's grim.

I never spend more than 25-30% of the car's value on fixing it. I leave that to others.

There has been a ongoing gearbox fault that no garage or gearbox specialist could diagnose.

That would have been a one way trip across the bridge for me. Soz.

Fitted a new MAF, engine now runs as it should and ABS/traction lights behaving.

Cease car manufacture for 10 years. That'll sort it out.

Nobody will be throwing cars away then. Everything will have a value, the price of spares will drop and anyone who loses their job making cars and bits will be in a garage fixing stuff.

The Z3 is the modern Alpine. They're not very good at anything but it doesn't rust like an MX5.

In 2020 it'll be 20 years old and I can stick it on my FJ policy and drive it for a bit under the cover of darkness.

Head gasket blown between 1 and 2.

Not a major drama. I'd get another head overhauled and ready so that it's a day's work to get it up and running again.
