Will do. I have already resigned myself to the engine being a total write-off up until now, so anything better than that will be a pleasant surprise.

One other question - should the worst happen and it needs a costly rebuild or new engine, how much do you think I could get for the body and parts/engine core? And how would you suggest going about doing that? (if you were me - not knowing how to take a car apart or advertise individual components)

Selling it as a roller (no motor) might get 2 or 3k. Taking each part off and selling them might be 4k. But that requires shipping etc for each part.

Totally brandy new would be 6k plus from the factory. Reusing as much as possible will cut that in half. After labour etc. Most guys warranty their rebuild for about year (same as factory)

So it comes down to you and what you want to spend. 3kish for a rebuilt motor that should last north of 100k with the right care. Or sell it and get something else.

I understand money is always an issue but selling it and buying another used car will just open up another can of worms with that car.

Sit down figure out what you can afford/budget. Then go from there.
