Alright, you lot, strap in—we’re back in the greasy world of your broken vans, because I’m not here to bore you with fairy tales or Top Gear reruns. Last week, we crunched the numbers on selling versus repairing your heap, proving it’s often a wallet-draining fool’s errand to fix it. Today, it’s less about cash and more about sanity: time and effort considerations. This is the bit where you decide if faffing about with your wreck is worth your precious hours—or if you’d rather ditch it faster than you can say “scrapheap” and spend your weekends on the sofa instead. Pay attention—your own clapped-out mess might be next.
Let’s face it: repairing a van isn’t a quick pit stop—it’s a bloody marathon. Picture this: your gearbox is grinding like a coffee mill on steroids—weeks in the shop, waiting for parts that take longer to arrive than a package from the moon. Engine’s blown? Days of faffing, maybe a month if the mechanic’s swamped or the spare’s stuck in a supply chain nightmare. Body damage? Hours of sanding, painting, and swearing—yours or the garage’s, depending on who’s daft enough to tackle it. Even electrical gremlins—flickering lights, dead battery—mean hours of tracing wires like a detective with a hangover. Time’s ticking, and you’re stuck twiddling your thumbs or begging mates for a lift.
Effort’s the kicker—because it’s not just time, it’s soul-destroying hassle. You’re on the phone with mechanics who mutter “next week” like it’s a mantra, chasing quotes that’d make a taxman blush, and sorting parts that might not even fit. DIY it? Good luck—you’ll need tools, skills, and a patience I’ve never had, plus the risk of cocking it up worse. Then there’s the aftermath—test drives to check it’s not still knackered, MOT faffs if it’s borderline, and the nagging fear it’ll break again before you’ve had a pint to celebrate. It’s like babysitting a toddler who hates you—exhausting, endless, and not worth the grief.
