Ford Focus - should I repair it again?
The timing belt has snapped on my 2009 Ford Focus. The car has covered 156,000 miles and I have had the car repaired, with new valves, pistons, clutch and flywheel. It came back from a local independent garage only to find it had a fuel leak. I sent the car back and was told the fuel pump had gone.
The car is now running badly and is also extremely noisy. What should I do with the car?

Basically the car was not worth repairing in the first place. It is now a money pit. If I was you I would cut my losses and get rid.
