Casper its like bloody monsoon season here , going to start selling boats soon , " now there's a thought " Sat was torrential all day , but we had the busiest day for a long time think they were bored and bought cars instead of anything else . Raining now and just sold two in the last hour , Buying them is fecking hard though , Might have to buy a few Water Skiing boats , Thought about selling caravans for two milliseconds , but i don't think i could with all honesty talk to people about where the bloody bed is , how big the cooker is and can you get three people in a cold shower for a group cuddle .

didn’t think of that Done a lot of these RS200’s, I like them Ive just had some shit luck on a Fiesta, so perhaps things are back in balance now

I’m into anything that makes me money, stocks and shares buying anything I can make something off, last week it was a job lot of alloy wheels from a main dealers warranty section, Other than that it’s jet ski’s, track cars and the gym mainly

Just sold one today after a long abstinence. Would not ever want to sell to Family/Friends but my wifes sister came to visit and saw a 2006 Auto CRV I have, and said she wanted it. Said to my wife it was like it was calling to her! It has sat on the drive for 2 weeks while she picked it up as she wanted it to be at the start of the month for tax purposes. Before this it ran faultless. Told me she will pick it up at 4 so after watching random youtubes I decide to put a bit of fuel in for free as she is 'family'. On the way to the garage a nice ABS light decides to glow at me, so get back after trying to get rid of it with a few restarts and it just keeps glowing at me. Back home plug it into my scanner and try to work out the fault and as I do this she turns up early at half past 3 ,so I then have to explain how it has been faultless up to this point whilst wanting to kick said CRV. So while she has a cup of tea I try to find the fault but the scanner (Delphi clone) cannot communicate with the CRV ABS system. So I offer to either let her take the car now and I will sort it soon (brakes were ok) , or she can have a Jazz as a loaner while I sort it. So she says she will just run her own car till i sort it but can she drive it back to her house so she can get used to the Auto as she normally drives a manual. What do you know , ABS light goes out and stays out after several starts. So she takes it and I do say call me if ANYTHING goes wrong (3 months warranty) Everything is crossed!

I toyed with the idea of selling caravans, having owned 3 for a year each and always sold much higher than bought (and no margin because they were mine and I wasn't in the trade). But damp is your enemy, equivalent to DPF/EGR's etc and you're right - could you chat caravan talk all day.

My sons a mechanical prep genius my friend , that's my secret weapon . Regarding the no losses well I'm known as the smiling assassin here , a loss isn't acceptable in my head .

You need a mechanic not a forum pal . Give chosen mechanic some folding notes and he will diagnose it for you , Simples really
