Unfortunately my 2013 1.6 RCZ's timing chain broke mid-drive which meant I coasted to a stop and had to be towed. The engine is being stripped down to discover just how much damage has been done.
Thing is, IF the damage is hefty, then a new head and re-fixing etc. will be an enormous expense and, by all accounts, it'll be a new engine or lots of labour etc. The car is worth £6k 'on the books', probably less selling privately.
My speculative question is: If I decide not to repair it at great cost and use that cash to contribute to a new car (which I was due) what are the sale options for an RCZ that's not running? Parts etc.? Or your general thoughts on the situation please... :beer:
