  1. Hi everyone, I have a 2010 XR6T 50th Anniversary 6sp manual which is the love of my life. It has 137,500 km on the clock and I have been having some problems with him. Lately he has been idling very roughly which a number of people have informed me is the thrust bearing, but even worse is the check engine light issue I have been having. No. 5 cylinder is the culprit for which I have had a coil pack replaced, new spark plug and a new injector. Compression tests today revealed a psi of 85 and my mechanic is going to do a wet test on Monday. He has told me to avoid driving it, which is difficult as I have 3 kids and work weekends. If the test comes back with normal pressure, which I believe indicates ring problems, what are my options for repair/replacement of same? If the test comes back with low pressure, which I believe indicates valve problems, what are my options there? In either case, are there after-market parts available and, if so, where would be the best place to get them as I am not flush with money but want the best value. Do you guys think it's worth working on or should I cut my losses and trade in for the best price and get a car with no personality and one I won't be at risk of getting attached to? Should I be worried about the thrust bearing? My clutch is not affected, but he idles like a tank and sounds awful. I really appreciate any advice as I have spent pretty much most of the afternoon stressing about what I am going to do for transport. Thanking you in anticipation of your help, Leonie.
