There has to be a point in time when you will need to take the car in for a day. Will your life end? Ask your mechanic to order both parts so he can fix the problem in a day or less and send the uneeded part back. If you depend on that car so much, you are going to be in real trouble when a water pump or something goes out. I think you need to start planning.
