    Yes, exactly the correct approach, you are paying for their time, not a half arsed opinion ..................

    The only other thing it just faintly maybe (if but possibly) etc etc is a bad earth to a module, but I only ever did one that wasn't the pipe blocked, there are a lot of 'em round these parts and it's a very common issue as others here have confirmed ;)

    It is almost essential that they actually remove that pipe and banjo fitting to do the job properly ;)

    Just because I don’t like when people post problems and don’t update the pipe was taken off, soaked in diesel overnight blown through and the light is now off.

    thanks all

    I have found it harder this week only managed 5 or 6 out of probably 60/70+ i've tried for. 

    Definitely harder this week, easing slightly yesterday and today but a couple of my buys were maybe a big over eager in  retrospect.

    Have also found this week slow for sales for the first time in a while, got a couple of promising viewings lined up tomorrow but have been battling with real flaky types all week on the phone.

    Reference the TC light, is it a diesel?
     

    You can buy the screens for the radio and fit them yourself in about 15/20 mins if your half hand with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers, I’ve done a few and never had a problem. The last screen I bought was around £70. 

    Yes, diesel. 

    Where do you get the screens from? Strangely it seems fine today but I'm sure that's temporary!

    Quick question here guys, 

    One of my staff whom I do trust, his partner has been in contact with someone who tested positive, both of them got tested yesterday and neither are showing symptoms, now his partner got a phone call telling her and apparently him aswell to isolate for 14 days. 
     

    Now as far as I can read online he should not be asked to self isolate unless his partner has symptoms which she doesn’t. So if he’s off it leaves the workshop a staff member short and as a result I’ll have to cancel my planned holiday which I’m raging about as I can’t have 2 people off at the one time. 

    Should he have to provide me with any proof of being told to self isolate? Like anything in writing? And does it go as holidays or sick leave?

    thanks 

    Once they get their results, if negative, they don’t have to isolate anymore. Pretty shitty if you have to cancel your holiday so will hope he’s negative. Results take a couple of days. 
    sorry don’t know the answers to your questions but hope the info is helpful.

    It’s a massive overreach from the government, that some are cheering on reductions to their liberties because they’re so scared of this hyped-up virus defies all common sense. The media and government have worked hand in hand yet no one here understands what propaganda is. Then you have the Soviet style grass your neighbours up stuff. Carry on trusting in and relying on the nanny state if you want, I worry where it’ll all end up - you only need to look at what’s happening in Australia.

    Is there not an alternative like a sale and lease back deal.Would the lady not prefer to remain living where she is rent free.So if there is going to be £100k negative at the end of the term and the property is worth a lot more,can she not sell to an investor.The investor pays £100k and she signs over the property in return for a long term tenancy agreement based on Housing Benefit current levels which presently brings in about £450 per month.So the investor gets 5% return which I doubt they can get elsewhere without taking some risk.As the property is worth more ,does that not add up for the investor and for the tenant who will be rent and council tax free.Does that make sense or not.

    That's the way to do it. Failing that get it out in the local rag and someone local with a few quid will go for it. £100k for a house worth more with guaranteed 5% yield, no brainer... even if bought they could remortgage straight away and pull out the money and buy another. Sounds a good opportunity.

    Panoramic Roof's are a nightmare.

    If they don't leak, the motors will break, and if not this then they will be creaky and rattly. 

    They are destined to become a problem on every car they are fitted to.

     

    ... never had a problem with one

    It's an open auction but the bidding doesn't go up in increments,  you have to put a figure in yourself. Which might mean paying way above the the last bidder .

    Sealed bids then? 
    Nothing illegal about it, just another method of selling. It’s our choice whether or not to participate. Just put what you’re willing to pay, if you win you win.

    bit like BCA proxy bids though... I’ve never won one under my proxy bid.

    Disagree with all this “you pays your money you takes your chance” conjecture, which is always the way the trade defends the auction sticking it to them. All well and good in an AUCTION HALL but this is online. It’s like an abuse victim defending their partner “they can’t help it they are what they are”. It’s utter bollocks and we need a united front against this.

    What the poor chap is asking, which is what we need to deal with in this trade before with online auctions it all gets out of hand, is LEGALLY can the auctions sell a car ONLINE when clearly the car has a major issue and then wash their hands of it while receiving good money for it?

    I’ve been watching how a lot of vendors deal with selling a knackered car online and I’m convinced it’s vendor policy and not auction because it’s not uniform. TC Harrison, for example, on their listings note engine noisy, gearbox issue etc. How can one vendor note engine noisy and the next not when/ if the engine is noisy? My implication being that the auction house should have the same standards throughout, shouldn’t they? I would say it’s misrepresentation or misleading. Worse over, when the auction house OWNS the vendor in question UKCGR etc has met the vendor and likely been informed directly of issues. Has anyone got a knackered car we can sell to them, faults disclosed, video the conversation and see what it turns up at auction like?

    I’m obviously not a solicitor but I feel as though if someone has the balls to take this to court it could set a new precedent, vendors like TC Harrison are probably already aware of some legal grey area.

    Every suitable commercial property that I contact refuses to work with motor trade. I do not quite know why, all they say is bas previous experiences. 

    Motor trade is the DSS of Commercial lettings. It’s associated with people leaving their tenancy overnight, having run up huge debts, leaving unpaid bills, great amounts of mess (oil, car parts, dirt, broken cars) and sometimes a raft of CCJs against the property.
     

    Not to mention, test drives, pressure washers, cars parked left right and centre for “just 10 minutes mate”, along with big transporters turning up every other day tend to piss off the other tenants.

    The difficulty we have finding units used to annoy me... I just see it as part of the job now. I get it... and sympathise!

    Are we classed as shops or showrooms? Are customers required to wear them?

    If it does apply to us from what I understand of the new law employees/ workers at these shops aren’t mandated to wear the masks but customers are. Make sense of that? It’s also not our responsibility to enforce if it applies to us.

    That’s not DSR is it? 
    Surely if THEY are having it collected, as opposed to you delivering, then DSRs don’t apply. Their appointed collector is responsible for inspecting & accepting the car on their behalf - at least that’s what I write in an email to anyone thinking of arranging third party collections.

    Exactly what I ended up deciding - driver signed for it.
