I have two cars I’m not sure which is the best/ most sensible to repair Only one would need repair but details provided for both as cost will factor into my decision.
First is pretty simple to explain Citeron picasso 2005 manual (need to confirm year But I’m almost certain) 1.8 petrol.
Needs the clutch replacing – currently non driveable as clutch burnt out in use.
Not a big fan of this car, fit wise it’s not great for me, ease of getting in/out not great I’m too tall driving and feet often end up on more than one pedal so I’m hesitant to repair- however it’s the newer so has less issues& therefore may be the best option.
Second vehicle Hyundai matrix 2001/2 1.6 (might be 1.8) petrol/manual mvp.. love this car it’s perfect for me, sadly neglected so it’s at a point I think we’re about to have the domino effect once one repair is carried out the next worn part will go – currently it’s non driveable. Was aware cv joints needed repair and brakes needed replacing prior to it becoming immobile. I believe the calliper dropped down or the break came loose and jammed in calliper- no fluid leaked however the wheel wouldn’t turn, needed to be towed. This car has more issue that can be fixed over time ie central locking constantly tries to lock (even when locked pulled fuse as short term solution) this makes me hesitant as I’m just not sure what will go next or if the cost will exceed the citron long term, however I believe replacing the break shoes/pads would get it back mobile, then in the near future cv joints could be done.
I would need a quote for 1) citeron clutch replacement- also do you fit a part if supplied by the customer and just charge labour (quote also please)
2. Quote for the matrix to have breaks replaced
Additional quote for cv joint Think it’s front left this is also the wheel with the break issue.
Unfortunately as neither are mobile I can’t bring them to be assessed and the cost to tow both to and from just to get a quote would be expensive. If it was possible to confirm the issue after a quote by looking at the vehicle where it’s parked to insure I am correct about the issue please can you also let me know how much that might be.
The budget scale stops at 500 then jumps to 2,500. I’m looking to spend as little as possible but realise especially with the clutch it may be over the 500 mark
Thank you
