 sounds like you need to get a new other half. Only joking.Most performance or classic cars are money pits. Its crazy how much it costs to keep a car going  .Is the battery the correct battery for the car with the correct cranking amps?. Does the engine burn a lot of oil? It probably needs a new thermostat for the overheating problem.

well....
well i sorted the overheating prob
it used about a litre of oil in 2months, which i thought wasnt too bad, ive been told the battery is the right one, sometimes wen cold or hot u turn the key and all u get is a click or sometimes it struggles but mostly a click

sounds like the starter motor is nackered to me or the connections to it are poor, the clicking is the solenoid on the starter sticking or not having enough power to throw it out
what was the overheating problem?
