Car Won't Start, But Rac Can't Find Anything Wrong
When I turn the engine on, it starts, then cuts out. This happens each time. RAC said he can't find anything wrong and I'll need to take it to a garage 🤷. I asked him if he thought it was worth it, but he said it's up to me if I want to spend money on a 17 yo old car. It'd need to be towed there.
I just wondered what anyone thought? I'm thinking of scrapping it.

It sounds like a faulty fuel pump to me, as suggested by The Winner. It could be a broken spring on the rocker arm, which rides on the cam shaft. The spring keeps it tight against the cam. If the spring's broken, the rocker arm won't pump the fuel. But it could also be a cam rod, not an arm. It's about the size of a cigarette, and if worn, won't ride on the camshaft. If it aint either of those, then I don't know.
A new fuel pump might be outside of your RAC cover? Most times they will tow it to a garage if they can't fix there and then but by the sounds of it you were undecided about whether or not to have it fixed.
Decide how much you're willing to spend on the old car and then get a mechanic to come out, diagnose the fault and quote to fix it.
