Should I fix or get shut
Hi just wanted to know other peoples thoughts, my d3 basically needs about £3000 spending on it to get it fixed, the arms bushes sensors on brakes suspension sensors, xy code leads me to believe clutch needs replacing and quite a few other problems. Is it worth spending the money or get something new.

Hi it’s on a 57 plate about 8 services on it and to look at it’s in really good condition, 145000 on the clock I’ve put 390000 on it in 4 years never really spent any serious money on it but just been dealing with all the problems and struggled to get anyone to touch it until I found a garage that knows what they are doing and described it as a nail.

Is that 390000 meant to be 39,000?

How much would you spend on something new?
What does 'describing it as a nail' mean?
I'd rather spend some money to keep a car I loved working well than to go for a new car - you'll end up spending money on a new car as well.
Guess it just depends how wedded to the Disco you are.2014 - D4 2010 HSE Nara Bronze
2012 - FL2 2009 GS Stornoway Grey
2001 - VW Passat Estate Inky Blue
1999 - Ford Mondeo Light Blue
1998 - Rover 25 Red
