Read you previous post - what a bummer 
Certainly not advocating getting in debt, but on the basis you'll probably have to fund the repair before selling your kit car is it worth
putting it on a 0% credit card and settling over a longer period? If you can't clear it in time you still have the option of selling the kit
car at your leisure in the spring/summer and getting a better price for it.

Also by putting the bill on to a credit card, will give you some fallback warranty on all these expensive bits
Also, what exactley has gone wrong on your TDCI ?? as i have one too. 2.0 TDCI 58 mondeo
Did you ever use vegatable oil or dodgy stuff, as that seems to be the bit that kills pumps and injectors
Regards
Steve

You've spelled Aries wrong in your ad Frank... I'm not being a pedant (this time) - it will limit the number of search hits you will get!
It's Evolution Baby!

I spent 4 years building a car and sold it within 3 months of finishing so I could clear my debts (a lot of 0% credit carding in order to build the
car, as it happened).
It's a painful decision, but understandable - it's a better feeling than having credit cards hanging over you.
Plus, there's always something you wished you'd done differently on the build - at least this way you can start again

I think it would be reasonable to drop the 'Locost' buit from your heading, after all, being as it is a Stuart Taylor it isn't home
made, and with the independant rear, it's not really a Locost anyway. Might help the sale price
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!
