  1. Take me to court and I would ban you too if I'm honest They can choose customers just like we can . Its called biting the hand that feeds you . hard lesson but its their choice Chan .
  2. Not a good thing those boxes , Need an Auto box guy , not many box repairers do both manual and auto .
  3. Hi Umesh My daughter has a guy that comes every month for her to check his oil , complete useless type of guy and even his girlfriend says hes hopeless . He bought a Polo GTI off of us and hes terrified of it .
  4. Sure have , Reports are written by politicians I think , Cant even get tyre tread correct never mind anything else
  5. V62 , cost £25 , sell car and take customer to post office with details in their name , Tax it at post office same time , dead simple
  6. She would actually , assuming she can get the wheel nuts undone then yes perfectly capable of changing a wheel . but then again she can also change a timing belt too .
  7. Customer we had last week said shes never filled her car up Then again we have a couple of limp wristed guys , they are so bloody useless , once a month they troll up and my daughter checks their oil levels , these are Married guys with kids as well .Imagine them changing a tyre , wouldn't know which way to turn a bloody nut
  8. Buy British ,oh we wish Made in China . Why do the west cuddle a nation of communists is beyond me , we should me cutting economic ties after what we now know
  9. That will be another U turn soon . Be calling Jaguar Truss Motors next Wait till Africa is full of used scrap batteries and someone realises and Brazil is one giant massive HOLE . Shit and fan comes to mind . I was talking to a guy in a so called Fast charge spot in Lidl car park last week , sodding bloody thing hes going , took me two days to get here from Hastings, its F ing going back he says
  10. Dont believe much at all from BCA , the assessors and RAC techs haven't a clue what day it is , wouldn't know a clack from a click none of them .
  11. sales invoice sorts this out , email them stating not in your ownership , new keeper details enclosed , end of . had a few and Invoice showing date and new keeper ends it .
  12. NFU will look that I'm sure, as will Direct Line . Both of those companies have honoured trade insurance no claims with two guys i know of . You have to be the insurance named person though . That was a couple of years ago mind
  13. Not very nice thinking like that and laughing at poor Cazzoooooooo Ok it is I agree
  14. I would be on the phone to BCA if that's the case . Repair or they fetch it back is whats needed .
  15. In my experience warranty wise are useless . Used them a while ago and they rang us up to say you haven't bought enough warranties off us , stopped us . two issues we had with customers we sorted too as they dismissed the claim , although it was supposed to be covered , Air con pump and an Alternator . Try TMO , The Motoring Organisation , Far better Company 0333 0155 214 They offer free AA cover too , great selling point
  16. Total waste of money is Car Guru , All you will get is weird named enquiries which is obviously false , plus punters can see how long you have had the car , Car Guru pricing is just ridiculous too and telling punters what cars are worth is insulting to us trader if I'm honest . Learn how to use Auto trader to best effect , Pay as you go will by default give less response than a basic package ,
  17. At BCA same card same fees apply All Gold cards are same fees Platinum same . The higher the card though the costs for other things like assured / essential reports are less too , used to get free breakfasts in the old days and better parking but that's gone now
  18. One person on research all day every day . No one just bids on anything for long as they go out of business like lightning . Private purchases is a very slow way in my opinion
  19. Had me lol I was thinking how does that work then But now Sally's dead I got it
  20. More down to last owner I think more than BCA UKC GR BCA pass on the docs as weve had a lot full of paper work , others just a service book . Down to luck of what you buy . Remember the last owners are mostly thick
  21. I am a sceptic Dave , Saw it coming I did , I say I saw it coming
  22. I suppose there's a time limit to cancel , leaving them to organise the lift and then have it cancelled night before would be annoying as we all know . As you say there would be a fuel charge they didn't use so maybe half payment to cover staff might have been the way forward . Legally it will have the T&C's contract somewhere that says what cancellation at short notice would be . Regarding the other quote that has nothing to do with it really .
  23. Never used any oil additive , Just use GOOD oil . Makes sense i suppose with oil soaked cam belts . weird idea that one though .
  24. I would say that is a claim waiting to be had yes Email BCA today though so its gone on time
