Hi all, very quiet in here these days!

Ok, my dilema is as follows, My 1991 V6 with 109000 on the clock needs
a new driveshaft and in the near future a head gasket looks on the
cards. I am weighing up the pros and cons between paying for the
repairs and calling it a day. I'd be very reluctant to have to say
goodbye to it as i love the car, but as im looking at a bill of over a
grand possibly for these repairs alone, is it worth it? My local
Mazda dealer doesnt think so, citing the cost and work needed and
referring to corrosion etc. However a mechanic at my local Lex says it
doesnt look too bad when he went underneath the car to have a general
look at the condition. What do others think, has anyone else reached a
similar stage with their car?

Cheers

Steven
