LSI, just  NotDave said: Hardly. Both parents worked. Neither had any O levels let alone been to uni.
Own no land. Have no large inheritance.
Explain how I'm wuff of the north? I'm the first to go to Uni. I'm the only one to complete any form of higher/further education. Dad left school at 16. Mum managed a year of college before the family moved from Hayling Island to Berkshire, so she had to leave. My younger sister dropped out after her AS-levels.

simer553 said: Two and a half grand for an oil pump? or for the whole car? Sounds a bit iffy?   £2500-£3000 to supply & fit new engine as the old one is "f  ked gov" courtesy of it being driven extensively with knackered oil pump. They're shopping around worrying about garage labour. If it were me, I'd be spending £350 on breakers engine, £200 on belts & bits for it serviced, then a days labour on engine swap. Total: >£800-£1000 2007 pov spec car, in average nick, with 70-80k on it. Not worth spending any more, and owes them a bit too much to scrap it

You've even got more degrees than Wuff has, Dave.
Face it, you're almost in tweed and cords whilst walking the hounds.

But - Uni students? will they be happy to get their hands mucky (assuming they know which end of a spanner to hold?). Watch it there Dave - this has got 'job for love courtesy of uncle Dave' written all over it

Tweed just ain't me dahhlin' If they have a couple of grand I'd scrap it and get something that wasn't a 1.4 Astra, if they haven't then second hand engine and reputable indy mechanic it is.

Tell that to the youth of today and they won't believe you. Seemed like Dave and Little Lord Fauntleroy were having a pov-off.
