Ainar's few hundred quid option sounds fairly tempting, even if its for only 6months lets say until something else possibly goes wrong or engine will give up.
If you can get the bits very quickly and dedicate few good afternoons for it it may be worth trying.
It would buy you more time to get a new car and help you save more cash without the stress.
Don't know whats better, buying new car before or after Christmas 
It was quiet straight forward decision to this point, but that option would be tempting if I would be in your shoes, tough call.
