cut my losses and sell? or can it be fixed...

:rant: :rant: :rant:

thats all i can think to say about the condition of my car at the moment.

lets see...

a rattling noise from inside the dash. figured it was the plug to the dials, as it was sitting realy loosely and made a knocking noise when moved manualy. blue tacked it in place, along with a few other possible culprits and put all bak togetha. knocking came back louder, just to :rant: me off.

my car limits in most gears at anything from 4000 to 5000 rpm. sticks there, regardless of the fact my foot is to the floor.

the breaks. oooooh dont get me started. had over £200 in \"repairs\" on the brakes, replacing shoes pads discs etc and recently it failed an MOT on brakes for leaking fluid. ironic, as the guy i paid to fix my brakes was the same guy who failed them on an MOT. anyways.

if i brake, the front end shakes violently. if i press harder, there is a knock-knocking sound coming from the back wheels.

my seats squeak (not a mechanical issue, but still, a massive :rant: )

clutch squeaks when it is dipped, its squeak is like that of a dying kitten. its realy loud, can hear it over the cd player.

if all that wasnt enough, i have just been out in it and now this-

dipping my clutch = rpm shoots down to 1000. normaly it slowly goes down, but this is like- dip clutch. back to tick over revs.

:rant:

i have tried a diagnostics check and i get a streaming supply of code 12\'s (all clear). my engine management light has never been on (bulb isnt popped :) ) and im planning on taking it to vauxhall garage on saturday to see what they say.

does anybody have any experience with the above problems? i am just after suggestions, i am willing to try anything at this point lol

please help?
