Best of the Bargain Basement (Vol.3)

Update on the cheap 150k+ mile 2.2 diesel Civic.
It broke.
Wouldn't start if it was hot, and took a long time to do so whilst cold. Did some research and all signs pointed to the fuel pressure relief valve on the end of the rail. £35 for a new valve and 10 minutes installing it, the problem is now sorted and the little Honda starts on the button, hot or cold.
It continues to be an excellent shed.

It's got £1995 in the window so I don't think you can buy it for £200 sadly.W00DY said:

My bargain basement days are over, for now. My 300 quid Citroen xsara lasted 2 years in my ownership but last few weeks the gearbox bearings got noisy and at the weekend the clutch started playing up. Felt like it was a bag of gravel.
Fairly good timing as the mot was due at the end of the month. Had my money out of it. The cambelt was (by age) 3 years over. I'll sort of miss her in a strange way
Anyway I've been banned from bangernomics for now by the wife due to the nipper. So Ive purchased another bargain basement car - but just for a bit more money than usual- a Dacia Logan MCV 900cc.
