Car Repairs

Yep, inspect is normally £20-£40, they give you the cost of repair and it stays at that cost. If they discover yet another problem, they don't force you to undergo the repair.
It is permitted for non-certified (MOT) cars to go to and from a mechanic so you can space out repairs over a month or more if needed.
Source: my friend bought a decades old Volvo so he tends to have LOTS of trouble keeping it in a reasonable state on his general wages.

Hm. Worth a shot? Here's the $20 part they recommend. Guy even wrote up a pretty decent tutorial, assuming you know your way around a jack and a wrench.

"why do I have all these parts left over?"

eh, you can save money that way, but there are still repairs that the expense is majority parts.

absolutely, I am still shocked that even VW needs special funnels just to do an oil change.

Cars will never and should never go away completely, even if they become nothing more than a niche hobbyist thing.
In any case, we very much need and want and should have community mechanic shops and education. A friendly repair cafe is always a good idea.

I just switched to owning a german for the first time and have to buy a lot of new tools

Yeah every car I’ve owned has had its quirks. Longer standard warranty across all manufacturers, government subsidized would be a nice start.

People have been known to cross the Florida Straight on makeshift rafts, I hear Cuba is very nice this time of year.
