  1. Sometimes I email a jpeg picture from my desktop to myself so that I get a copy on my iPhone... all of a sudden WTF these pictures are appearing on my iPhone as a winmail.dat instead of a jpeg and I cannot open it ??? It’s driving me mad... How has this happened, why’s it happened and how do I stop it from happening? Cheers for your help.
  2. Update, MPC diagnosed senders in the tank, there’s two apparently, good news is instead of replacement there is a repair kit “approx £23” x2 plus fitting......
  3. Pop up here pop up there, finance finance finance., no detailed description, nothing personal, nothing from the heart, nothing trustworthy.... just BS worthless annoyingness :0
  4. I don't know of any charitable cars sales sites, you are saying he is offering free car spaces and business advice to foreigners for free......
  5. So do LG simply act for you within the CRA parameters, or do they advise you on each claim ? How does it specifically work ?
  6. German doesn’t scare me, high mileage German has always been my bread and butter.... btw I like your website on the iPhone, it’s simple just like mine, the cars are immediately in view... simply scroll down to find the one you want. Websites where you have to search for the car I find really annoying...
  7. A self administered warranty will save you money, compared to paying for an insurance backed policy. At the end of the day, if a justifiable CRA problem occurs it’s your responsibility to pay anyway. I currently believe it’s not in my interest to offer a warranty because on older cars you are just inviting complaints, however that doesn’t mean I might not in the future.
  8. For getting rid of smells I can highly recommend Zoflora. Fantastic stuff
  9. Buy a decent dehumidifier, they suck will suck the water out of a stone
  10. Go on Nick, show us one of your unmitigating fantastic letter responses.... If the guy IS a legal, I wouldn't want to predjudice myself....Thus straight to Lawgistics....
  11. If the guy is a legal then he would know his rights, he would also know he does have to show due dilligence on collection re (misdescription), plus a load more he should of done. The reason I say go legal straight away is because you need to show him you arn't a walkover.
  12. Possibly, or they could associate you with illegal immigrants making shed loads of easy cheap money and then disappearing.... I would buy a car from a place like that..... Edit !!!!! would should be wouldn't......................
  13. If it was me in this position, I would be passing it on the lawgistics to deal with from the onset. Don't respond yourself, let the legals sort it..... Yes, and my videos They have become very handy a couple of times.
  14. I moved two Bmw’s This morning both with car on ramp message, it’s the lack of use charge battery message....
  15. It was picked up by the RAC and taken to his home, lots of codes related to fuel aparently, I don't trust the AA or RAC either....... Its gone this morning into https://www.mpcbasingstoke.com/audi-specialists-servicing-basingstoke they are diagnosing...... Thanks for your help guys
  16. If making an educated buying decision on the basis of the unreliability of a shite engine is “doom and gloom” then yes, I am the epitome of doom and gloom.
  17. The 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI are on my don’t touch with a barge pole list.
  18. Help. I’ve recently sold the above to a gent a the Basingstoke area, the car just cut out yesterday and now won’t start. Sounds like fuel starvation. Is there anyone on here with proper workshop and diagnostic in the Basingstoke area who can help / diagnose properly? Cheers Simon
  19. It’s the rise of the practical classic mags.... turning crap into desirables .....
  20. Exactly and completely justified. Where do these people live, cloud cuckoo land !!
  21. At least they have insurance, it will go down as a fault claim though.
  22. Being upfront, open, transparent and telling it how it is how I like to do business. If people don't like it tough, I'm ultimately fair and don't pussyfoot around pretending anything different. This is a forum, not a C of E Prep School. All people in business or work experience "Pond life, Bottom feeders, Low lives, Punters, Billys, Dreamers etc" whether its their boss, a billy who has just walked in to their shop, gym, Tescos, or some bottom-feeder twat down the pub, it doesn't matter... As humans we all experience people who deserve the above terms...... Nick, not everybody is "lovely"
  23. haha..... Bishop’s Nympton is about 40 miles away, in the sticks..... My paint guys are good, around £120 a panel, £150 for a bumper...They do an excellent job and have never had any complaints, its just that they are always very busy.. My PDR guy is a bit hit and miss, but cheap..
