		so if you have me on fb you will know my car is f*cked, again. Alternators gone and also got 2 flat tires, also think the turbo is knackered aswell as various knocks and bangs. Question is what the f do I do with it? Can't decide whether to break it or just flog off cheap.
 
 also what car to get? I have been looking at civics and crx's but it has to be.
 -reliable
 -cheap to buy
 -nice looking
 -low insurance as I'm 19
 -cheap to run

just get it bloody well fixed! I really have no idea why your car seems so shit compared to the rest of them! If its an alternator and 2 flat tyres then just get it sorted! Spend less dollar on the natural substances and more on the car!

		Perfect time to put a bigger turbo on if your GT15 is on the way out. And any car can get flat tyres

		Glad to hear you're fixing it mate, I know it can be frustrating when things start to go wrong but at least they're pretty cheap to fix, and you have awesome people like Dan offering to change the turbo for you!

		Cars will always get you down mate. When something goes wrong you have to think if the good times. When some things go just think can it now be improved.   . 
 
My pas pump is on its way out rattling like mad. Peugeot want £260 motor factors want £145 if I take mine I get £25 off. So trying to find a second hand one. But I thought it was something in the cam belt cover so would of been whole new cam belt kit and water pump again.

		Better the devil you no than the one you dont. You could give up anf buy another car then in 2 months have a few issues with the new motor and be in the same boat. And be more out of pocket and pissed of than what you are with this one. And trust me nothing jap will be as easy/cheap to fix as a dt and on top of that you wont get as much power for your insurence money in jap. Think about it
