Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Wondering what opinions when it's time to scrap the car? I've a 2010 Mondeo and having many recent issues such as brakes, cv joint, possibly engine and wheel problems. Don't want it to become a money pit but suppose if I can spend a few hundred on repairs and get a other six months it might be worth it. Anyone else come to…

Send it into a garage for an inspection and ask them to give a quote and cost to repair the issues, then weigh up your options.
IMO paying to repair a car is cheaper than buying another car.
Better the devil you know. And you'll have a car with some new parts.
