  1. ME= "test drive is no problem, i have trade plates and insurance for that, i can assure you it drives spot on but just one important question so that we don't waste each others time [ mine] are you willing to leave a deposit on it when we come back ? " them= "gotta have a word with the wife" "three more to look at" "need to check insurance" fo
  2. need a pic really, you can buy tarmac in a bag in wickes you know, chuck it in hole drive back n forth job done, concrete would be cheaper, rake some spare chippings over it ?
  3. it seems you can centralise these yourself, [has the car recently had a clutch or something ? dropping subframe disconnecting steering i am thinking ? ] qoute = disconnecting battery, removing airbag & Steering wheel and centralising the CIM - I'm told there's a release catch on the slip ring so you can turn it from lock - lock, count the turns and then centralise it. not being kidded are you ? the gasket behind water pump fails, puts water straight in sump, hence mayo, couple of hour job

  5. It still blows my head that a dam good spot [location] that was either a petrol station or a used car sales pitch can not make money yet a £3.99 hand wash [ fifth wash free ?! ] can . there biggest investment must be that wringer at the end that squeezes out the shammy [ chamois]
  6. no, go on mark, no matter what machine you got, its experience that counts, and the more money you spend doesn't really mean you'll get a better result, just last week, cheap machine of mine, showed 2 faults [related] yet dear machine [ well i thought its dear] only showed one, cheap machine communicated faster, and was easier to understand, i am no mechanic either, learned [ and still learning] by getting mucky, and using used parts to save money [parts dealers wont return used sensors for credit good to say by some mechanic whos been playing parts darts ]. worrying thing nowadays is the poor quality looms and build quality of certain parts fuseboxes and the like.
  7. autosmart finish. 50/50 water into a spray bottle, spray cloth/sponge apply, or into grills spray, wipe off any run on fresh paint. not cheap, but actually is ! 1 gallon makes two, compare to the 1 litre bottles that cost you £7/8? highly recommended, not high gloss sheen, looks natural, fresh,new

  11. Why would anyone risk loosing there livelihood by not using and displaying plates as we have agreed to by signing the form ? Because i certainly couldn't run my business legally without them ? Its not like you can just go out and get another pair? is this why this year dvla asked for proof of insurance to cut down on the ******?
