   basically there's a few problems with my car i haven't had any quotes on what its going to cost me to get sorted yet but what do you lot think i should do repair or get a new one?
   
   1st problem is a constant knocking noise when in gear that's worse when accelerating and the car pulls to the left when pulling off (possibly something to do with drive shaft?)
   
   2nd problem the clutch plate is going
   
   3rd problem is the electrics the indicators don't work at all just makes a buzzing sound and the battery light comes on tried a new relay box still didn't work also replaced the indicator arm
   
   im starting to give up with it
   
   cheers

   What year is the car?
   
   The first problem does sound like the driveshaft to be honest, reasonable price to buy new and if you can fit yourself its a bonus
   
   The electrics would be the worst of my worries as I wouldn't have a clue

    cheers yeah ill borrow my mates tester and check it
    
    i thought it would have been more something to do with the wiring though as its only when you try to indicate the battery lights comes on and the relay box makes a buzzing sound but the hazards work fine
