We have two Honda CRVs she was driving the older one back from the shops Monday when the engine quit on her, she managed to pull over and a kindly passing Thai in a pickup truck towed her to our regular mechanics workshop.
We went in yesterday to see what is happening, as I suspected the engine is seized due to a catastrophic sudden burst of the main water inlet pipe to the engine, she says the warning lights came up and the engine seized all at the same time mmmmmm.
Cost for a new engine around 30k, It's an old Honda CRV and needed replacing anyway, I wanted to buy her a new one for a year or more but she does not want a new one, she loves this car.
I also tried to tell her that we could sell that car to the workshop, he would fit a new engine at cost then re sell the car and make a profit and we could put the money toward a new car, Nope don't like new cars, don't like the smell of new cars inside them.....
So there we are, what would you do? ????
