i thought you had fixed the 19 and sold the clio there, or you had finally killed the 172.

yea, mum said she will lend me the money for the tax until the end of next month, but the clio still needs to be repaired, so what i'll do is tax the clio and then get a rebate on it. and tax the 19, im not payed until next friday, so i cant buy anything, and i have £100 to buy parts for it.

rebate takes over a month, I know trust me.

So tax it keep it taxed, fix it, what actually does it need? headlight and indicator?

Sort the 19 then get that on the road. Is the 19 still mot'd?
