Look above mate, a lot of the advice related to stripping the gearbox - something I had no intention of doing. Weather people didn't see the thread or took no notice is irrelevant really as there's been far more interest in my scrapping it. Maybe it's just how forums are these days, I dunno.

Let it catch fire then. It's warrantied, insured etc. And who cares how it's kept? If it's not right when I collect it, they'll be keeping it until it is. I find it funny how I'm getting more replies now I'm scrapping the starlet than when I was asking for help in fixing it - well done UKSO!

Bit sad, it's been a tough old bird (not to mention all the new bits I've thrown at it recently) and I'll miss not caring what the wife bounced it off but it's just one of those things really. I've bust my balls saving one car from the scrapper, I'm getting too old for all that now and besides, being a "professional" family, I think the wife deserves something new and shiny to do the school and work run in.

Indeed I am I decided we needed something new for the wife to do the school/work run in and for the 127 quid a month we'll be paying, the spec of the car were getting is phenomenal.

That's that then... Car being traded in next week. 2000 quid trade in hahahahahaha

Right, it's back in one piece and no better than it was. Anybody wanna make me an offer for it before I put it on the local for sale forums? I'd rather it went to someone who'd use it for bits than someone who'd scrap it when the MOT runs out. It's got a fair few new bits on it and everything works fine apart from the diff.
