Fed up of not having a car at the moment. My Lada needs the engine swapped - I have the spare engine, just not the time to do it! I'll probably end up doing it in a few weeks and deleting this thread, but if anyone fancies taking advantage of my mojo loss, message me of call me O75O8 74OO79. Taxed, MOT'd and sort of running - wouldn't recommend driving too far though.

^^^ what he said don't do it, what I do when my mojo leaves me is ignore the car for a week and just think about the jobs that need doing plan how I'm going to tackle each job then tidy the shed, then start one job at a time slowly and as I see myself getting somewhere the mojo returns and I'm off and running again. Well it works for me lol

More issues?
I have never touched a lada but I'm guessing they're not exactly difficult to work on?

No, it is really easy, it is just being a little difficult with me, doesn't really want to run.

Just thought I'd update this as it is now running and driving fine. Not in a weird Christine 'fixed itself' kind of way, more of a 'wow how could it have been that obvious' kind of way.
