four-wheel-drive Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Has your dad got any more cheep trucks going for next to nothing I will have one I have got the £230 ready. The real problem is if you have a good rust free older car or truck with the prices that garages charge to fix them it can soon get uneconomical to fix them this is where people who now how to fix them can get some good bargins years ago it was rust that killed cars today for the most part it is electronics then if the engin went wrong you could just find a good second hand one and bung it in but today it has to be the exact same one or the computers will play up.
