Fix or Sell xtype 2005. New to forum
Hi there, I have an xtype 2 litre sport. Nice car, I have had it since 2006 and service it each year at a garage. It began cutting out under load and will restart. Also occasionally after a short journey it won't turn over although my battery has tested as good. A local garage has offered to replace my injectors for £450 and if my problems aren't solved they will put my old ones back in and charge £50 total.
I paid £5,800 in 2006 and reckon it is worth around £1500 now. In the last two years I replaced the dual mass fly and clutch and fluid pump and egr valve. The car has done 139K miles.
Do I repair or sell? Any advice greatly welcome.
