    Are we talking Northern Irish or Southern Irish? Big difference!

    Not in my experience; in fact the reverse. I've often put an NI plate for my customers who don't want a year letter, then they often want it moved to the next car; it only costs £110 as long as you don't buy from DVLA.

    Thanks. Apparently I’m looking at a “home reversion plan” not equity release? Which answers all my questions.

    Mark is going to need old Rumpole for this one.I can hear him ‘ members of the jury to mention cam belt changes to a car dealer is highly inflamitable akin to mentioning the war to a German,it is just not done ‘.

    Indeed; saw an early '14 RR Sport 3.0 derv, but at least an L494, end at an auction at (including my estimated fees) £28,285 - 50k miles & really nice spec admittedly and I know some nice ones are now on offer north of £30k, but bought 100% blind, as this auction was, that was a bit too rich for my blood........ So we're currently dragging out all the old trade in's left outside behind the unit which we never bothered with, as their actual cost was so small, plus all potentially needing a good "look at" for potential issues. After I've checked if their viable or not, my lad is valeting the hell out of them, which was not worth doing before, for their sale value back then. Sorted out a power steering fluid leak on one today, everything else was OK as far as a 13 year old car goes and drove it hard taking a long, 20 mile 'scenic route' on some lovely country roads for some assurance for the MOT and it didn't even get any advisories!! Come tomorrow, rinse and repeat - just got to keep the wife away from him when valeting them - got home from Tuesday MOT and she was helping him as a kind of therapy, I suspect, as currently she's on a 6 week course of radiation treatment - and she was trying to help him by 'doing' the engine crud with bloody oven cleaner, none too carefully either ........

    Crossing the line maybe yet you still didn’t deny it so therefore I stand by my statement

    The business owner nearest there I know is in Nottingham (still trying to "solve" [ like many others ] MB FSB4 code/read/write/create etc!!) and he said it's not worth him sending one of his vans ~ 80 miles for one job on an old car like that when he has more lucrative fleet contracts.
