Hi everyone, so here is my story and very frustrating problem....
In Nov 2023 a Swedish tourist doing bird watching stopped her vehicle abruptly infront of me and I could not stop in time. I then rear ended her car with my only work vehicle and i am not insured.
Two weeks after that the engine blew a headgasket. I then lent money from a very generous and kind client of mine for a low milage second hand engine. This was installed but the mechanic made a mistake with the water pump which was not compatible and the belts came off while driving, over heated and now again have a blown headgasket on the second engine rendering it non operational.
I've tried every option and have realised that I need to humbly ask for help. I can not afford to repair the car myself. It's 30 Years old and have spent more on the repairs now than what it is worth.
Desperately needing a reliable vehicle to keep food on the table at home for my family and pets.
If there is any chance that anyone can spare a couple rands for us it would really help in getting either the vehicle repaired or replaced.
God bless you for taking time to read this.
