"Hate it at the moment, can't find an engine"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My first MOT on the car I had to have new front brake discs and pads, and a bit of welding on the sill, also front compliance bushes.

Nothing on my most recent MOT, but my tyres and headlight adjusted, but when I got home smoke was everywhere. On removing my head, I found a hole and crack in my number 4 piston. Still looking for a second hand engine, hard to find a good one.

General comments?

Very nice car for the price.

At this age and mileage, would it not make more sense to buy another car??

I've just bought a 1.8 LX estate 1991. Engine appears to be a bit smokey, but I gather this could be the valve stem seals. Engine has done 70,000 and is in good condition.
