Goodbye! - mw2299 - 1:st-Mar-2018
Unfortunately my car is no longer with us! I took it in to my mechanic because it's been making a strange noise for a while. Problems with the gearbox, the intercooler is leaking, I need new discs and pads all round, two new tyres needed, the brake fluid needs changing, too much oil in the engine (and I've never put any in). Not only that but I still needed to get the cosmetic damage fixed after that. All in all I would have been looking at around £2500 to get everything sorted out, so I decided to cut my losses, part exchange it and get something newer.
Thanks for the help that you guys have given me since I've been on here! Disappointed I've had to lose the J because it was a nice car but just wasn't worth the money it needed spending on it.
Here's some pics of the new motor:

Such a shame. Don't be a stranger.
