have a word with the wife

No, when he came back with more issues I asked him to have an independent RAC report done on the car. (So it was less likely to be a £20 to a mate jobby). Thats the report (plus he had a quote done for good measure.) this doesnt add up, if you look up rac approved garages, this garage is not rac approved, according to rac website, and the garages website is not advertising as being rac approved ? what is this advisory ?

yes, a vehicle can be recorded many times during its life.

correct me here lads ? re invoice page 1 ? £552 plus vat for timing chain kit ! a chain, a tensioner and 1 / 2 ? guides ? i always look a bit deeper me, had it a week and garage decided to charge him £550 for work not required ? not being funny here but does the guy come across as being easily led/ frightened ? i personally would make a appointment with the guy, borrow a cheap code reader, visit the vehicle, read/delete the codes [if theyve not already been deleted] take it for a drive see if light pops back up [ i would tell the guy your reason for visit but not tell him your reading codes till you get there and that your bringing YOUR mechanic with you for a second opinion, but just go on your own] he cannot refuse you. if light comes back on and it sounds like a overloaded cement mixer [ no pun intended] then fair do, if not, and let me be very clear on this, then any slight rattle is consistent with age and mileage, and no claim will be considered at all, you were quite happy to deliver the car 100 miles so i would definitely do the same again, i, personally think he is using this to his advantage [distance] and the garage are quite happy to cover there arse by doing there job, might be even tempted if you cant borrow a £20 code reader to buy one, let us know.

From what i am reading, being a cat s in this circumstance is actually a help not a hindrance !

vote for me I will by 2021 ensure that every car dealer gets a free windyman I will double the staff at dvla ensuring the phone is answered in 1 minute I will disband the small claims, it is just a burden on our businesses I will introduce carxit, for every car "exiting" your business [sold] you will receive tax free £1000 bonus, carxit. I will bring autotrader into government ownership, guaranteeing no one pays more than £3 per advert. what else would you like ?

i disagree experienced motor trade people would sort the road tax, hold onto the p/ex for 7 days [once its gone its gone] and sorn the current cars they have, its the dvla law, many of these cars have been purchased may onwards, thats 8 months give or take parked up somewhere, after 3 month they should be put in trade [dvla], you can buy a lot of cars in 8 months

Can you not hold the pension book as security ? lenny the loan shark does down our road .

Thankyou, 1500 is the average, got 1700 at the moment in stock, thing is, they reckon to give good service, but yet, reading the small print they won't even tax it for you, they send you the new keeper reference number, such a basic thing we all on here arrange customers tax don't we ?

£90 million pounds ? thrown at this ? 15 to 17 hundred cars available, 3 month warranty ? where are they advertising ?

Alternator fault, regulator fault is draining battery. possible fire risk [wires get very hot] rectify immediately

A reminder, we have'nt seen on here for a while references to small claims courts [good!] so after seeing that call the sheriffs or whatever its called tonight, a reminder if you loose you MUST remember to ask for the vehicle back, chap got a full refund for a vehicle purchase, but the defendant it seems forgot to ask for the vehicle back, down 9? grand, vehicle ? it is in spain !

and ulcers when someone knocks as your sat down to your corn beef hash Don’t trade from home!

this month oh, and last month

spot on, and not willing to do there own homework, ie, consumer rights,

new brake pads all round ? why ? unusual for them all to wear out together ? are you not confusing this with a abs fault ?

RUN last price ?

but the clowncil are also thinking of introducing a scrappage scheme, set to be introduced as part of the scheme, please read the whole article ! cheap diesels in bristol lads ! come on, scan that part of the country ! labour want to scrap business rates for shops in town, then want to stop customers coming in ?

There is no issue in buying a cat b to break, that's what b means = "break only" It has not been inferred that you, quote = "would buy a Cat B car without a waste licence and fumble my way to try and get it on the road". the frightening thing is twofold, one, that you find, it odd that a flood damaged flooded pre accident value £20k car with barely a scratch on it, would be written off as a Cat B. and two, as below =

General observation, quite frightening really ! As i said on that thread anyone applying for a v5 after oct 2016 for a cat a or b will not get one, any vehicle out there ie, this range rover, the v5 was applied for before 2016

Back tracking to the v5, you, i assume, taxed it for her online, therefore it will already be in her name, when you also informed them of the transfer of owner, she needs reminding of this, and also that it is her responsibility of ensuring that the vehicle complies with the terms of vehicle registration, ie, dvla can inform police, tax, and other agents of the correct owner, not you . If the car is in her name, already, and there are no changes, then she should receive a fresh [ replacement] v5 in 5, yes FIVE days if she phones them and has her debit card ready, by post, could take up to 6 weeks. this "squeal" from the belt/s is she just using the car for short journeys and the alternator can't keep up ? yes i read you changed the belts, maybe wants taking up a bit now they have "worn" in ? It's just another day in paradise.

I did not realise you had a waste management licence and a waste carriers licence, where is your authorised treatment facility based ?

Because i am not a number i am a free man

and that is your evidence that he knew it was cat d, game... set... and match

Threaten all he wants, is his name on the invoice ? The customers brother (whom the vehicle was purchased for) no, so he cant claim ........................ jog on
