  1. because if they did the original manufacturer would claim they had been copied exact. heat guns your friend
  2. sick of the cold nothings drying, cant feel me toes, 2 of my cars despite drying all day with fans blowing have mould on back seat, paint just laughs and drops on floor being outbid, might as well have xmas and jan off next year customers phoning up panicing management light has come on, you book em in and they dont turn up . buying batteries, theres a bloke on ebay selling recons £25 being blocked in have you got? can i borrow? can you just? and they wont give me a shot gun licence i dont know why what you sick of ?
  3. give it a full pdi, try and see why it was cat d, maybe phone the owner or send him a sae with request for info, put a full mot on it, advertise it as hpi shows cat d insurance claim some time in its past, DONT underprice it and the phone will ring, not being derogatory but there is a bum for every seat
  4. its just a joke, were not clear how we can display them legally yet safely, theres no site where you can check if theyre indate, they are abused by even the most experienced, and customers always think they are "insurance plates " ?
  5. and at the bottom, where the customer signs it states "i have read and fully understand the terms of this contract" I do my own receipts, years of experience has taught me how best to cover myself, example today, 17 year old, first car, father signed for it, 17 year old cant . judge picked up on my receipts, and questioned the claimant " why are you bringing a claim when you quite clearly have read the contract, signed the contract,and produced it in evidence in my court, yet not followed the terms of the contract ?"
  6. i use the words "whom to contact in first instance" followed by name address phone number. top of invoice.
  7. i know i know i know ! BUT, hes only had it 10days ! and whatever pdi sheet or quoting its mega miles or 11 year old will not stand up in the eyes of a judge, in my opinion the customer could quite rightly reject the car completely, and the seller can quote all day fault not present at time of sale, but its so easy on the seller because he doesnt have to prove anything, other than what hes already got in his hand, a piece of paper from a garage with a estimate, and probably a recommendation by the garage to not use the vehicle because it could cause further damage [ cat] its the job were in and thats it ! we need to be fair, not fall over, but be aware that it could turn funny, been there, got the scars, i think arfurs come across a very fair guy indeed and should consider himself lucky because theres some right ****s out there [customers]
  8. nope, ive no idea what your on about dependant on set up, a clutch cable can get "damp" internally [ washed off] and freeze internally, press the clutch but it doesnt fully release, the springs in diaphragm let it off just enough but it slips, had this once, and didnt do it again till next -0c
  9. i repeat as per page 1 = an offence is committed on any land where the public has access. pay the fine, dont chip on your next sale, the customer always pays
  10. Wear and tear ? hmmm? what about "fair" wear and tear? more appropriate i think on 11 days use ?
  11. aerosol brake cleaner, its only £2 each if you buy 5, squirt the cap out, then a clean cloth in rocker cover, then "expert" mr mechanic thats kicking the tyres tells you the last two he looked at head gaskets were gone a steel rocker cover is far more suspect to mayo than a alloy, alloy gets warmer and burns off the damp
  12. all buyers are liars inspect the p/ex "its been great" =gearbox jumps out of second "just fancy something different" =i cant afford that big bill thats due "always fancied one of these and dont really want to part with my car" please dont look underbonnet "it is a short mot, but it will fly another" =last years advisories answer that one ! if they dont inspect your car properly, theyre desperate to get shut of p/ex, if they do inspect your car, then double inspect theres ! all buyers are liars inspect the p/ex
  13. always cheers me up on the way there on the way there = lip up fatty! bad manners ! and on the return if ive bought a stinker= heaven knows im miserable now
  14. A crime that in the main is ignored, how many times do i read " they missed the culprits" is astounding, the politicians love it, keeps trouble indoors, not on the street,cannabis is wages round here in the tumble down factories, your factory will only get broke into if they think your doing a grow, cash up front for 6 months rent, telling me the landlords dont know ? local shop is open eight till eight, a dealers open 24 hour, easier to get than a loaf of bread,politicians get honours and 38% of the kids in manchester live below the poverty line, who is really profiting ? boils my piss
  15. must mean mr moderator is on holidays cos links are still there who can we slag off while hes away ?
  16. I have had a word with the wife and she says i can wish you all a very merry xmas great forum, learnt plenty and enjoy giving my two pence worth, have a great profitable new year lads , and dont answer the phone on boxing day it might be somebody moaning MERRY XMAS
  17. they dont fill in the logbook, you do, they only see the greenslip and the front page which says number of former keepers none !?!
  18. i would have bunged the tester a bluey and asked him to stick a bit of gum on it to ascertain if the blow is the fault, especially seeing as its there at the test, and if it didnt cure it then you know straightaway, its why i am always present at the mot, fuse popped on one last week for me, i ran it out of test station, swapped the fuse and drove it back in, if the test station is like mine they keep a copy of the emmisions for there paperwork, or bung him a tenner and put pipe up car next to it when nobodys looking
  19. why would you get them cheaper than the advertised price ? a proper genuine seller selling a car with a fault will "auction" the car, and, in my experience will achieve a good price, and i repeat, a proper genuine seller ! if you cant differentiate between a proper genuine seller and a trader then you need to look again at your plan, sorry, but only if life was that simple ! as recommended, stick to looking within ten miles, gain some viewings, and youll see its just a nightmare, good luck.
