Also If you can give us some more details on the car (like age, engine code, etc) then it will be possible to look up the price of the past etc.

Sticker in the boot will have the code, I am pretty sure it will be an AXX on a 56 plate.

well got the car back today, all it needed was a new speed sensor. Only cost me £60 so not to bad really.

Only thing was the bloke that fixed it told me the car had been involved in a front end hit and the radiator hasnt been fitted back properly. So because of this the top brackets holding it on arent secured so the top is leaning towards the engine. That means im going to need to get it fixed as it is leaning very close to one of the boost pipes and the last thing i want is for one of them to get damaged and costing me an arm and a leg to get fixed.

All seems to come at once and when you never have any spare money :)
