Unable to do much at the moment so to alleviate the boredom I have been spending considerable time on YouTube. I watched a chap who collects ‘end of life’ vehicles. OK my modern is 30 years old and Mo is 51 and both running well. This guy collected a 60 plate golf for breaking as the electronics wouldn’t allow operation of the headlights so car was scrap, and then a 61 plate Polo suffering a catastrophic electronic failure so again going for scrap
I will stick with my old girls

No excuse for scrapping a car because the headlights won't switch on. I would have thought a jumper wire could have sorted it out. It looks like a good opportunity to make some good cash buying up cars with broken wires or damaged connectors.

Nothing new though with low prices for cars 10 years old many crabs were scrapped in the past because of a worm out clutch release bearing. Good to hear both your cars are running well.
