  1. TFR from euro car parts.. 25L £14.50 with our sexy discount it's used at pretty much every main dealer known. If you're rotting fabric, you're using too much.
  2. Here's some good advice, don't bother with brisk on seats, use TFR/Water mix and you will never look back.
  3. Do it on all the policies and if they ask why say that you have had a claim rejected that clearly should have been paid, explain that you have lost all confidence in them because of this situation and as a result are exercising the 30 day money back guarantee. I do this on a somewhat regular basis to get my own way, not that I enjoy it but it does work.
  4. Exercise the 30 day money back guarantee. I hammer my WW rep when I get a rejected claim and threaten to move unless we get a result for the customer (warranty money back as a contribution / claim paid).
  5. I find that all the WBAC entries go for more than the main dealer entries.. maybe they earn more commission for the auctioneers?
  6. Genius business idea, practically getting free money once they've stringed investors along for a few months. Non FCA regulated, unsecured, no obligation to pay investors if the company goes tits up but hey, you can take us to court if you like (HA HA).. their FAQ is hilarious.
  7. Paint is the same price regardless of what it is at my local paintshop.. he's having your kecks down. £100 a panel is what we pay for everything. Look for someone on Facebook who wants cash in hand jobs, they will work for much less than this guy is willing too.
  8. Picked up some today, 56 fiesta 82K, 2008 Pug 207 70K, 2007 206 60K, 2009 1.2 Corsa 70K. Happy days, would of loved some family cars but private punters were out in force today. Yeah I think I will ditch Friday now.. I will give brighouse a try over next couple of weeks. Belle vue is renowned for being full of scrappers.. the lack of quality cars out there is worrying some times.
  9. Morning guys Looking for some advice on what are the best days to attend Belle Vue, I usually only attend on Fridays however there is a sale today so will be attending. There isn't many on offer today but there's a lot more variety than my usual AH provides (Preston) so hoping to get some bargains.
  10. I don't think they're that expensive.. I "acquired" mine but just had a quick look on eBay and they start from £30.
  11. Try your local scrap yards or breakers for something old like that. Sounds like you will be making a loss, signums aren't good sellers sadly, a bit like a Vectra.
  12. Yep looks the bees knees.. just a shame no one wants it, I might try putting the price up to £2095
  13. This is how they worm their way out of paying out, they're an assurance product not an insurance product hence non regulated. They aren't as bad as people make out, they do payout sometimes you just have to pester them on behalf of the customer, we do well with warranties and I'm sure they do well of us so it works both ways.
  14. I have a cat D Fiat Panda 2007 at the moment, 41K warranted mileage pan roof etc.. they'e doing £2095 + on AT mine is up at £1195.
  15. Also avoid having your name on too many dissolved / liquidated companies, insurers don't like this and will penalize you for it.
  16. Ok so.. the question "have you ever had an insurance policy cancelled" Is asked to the individuals being listed on the policy, if the current (cancelled) policy is in the name of a ltd company then it isn't the individuals that have had the policy cancelled, but the LTD company. So if you're taking the renewal out under a new LTD company name then don't worry about it. I hope that makes sense.
  17. I would be inclined to stay with your current insurer.. at least then you could say they just ballsed up on the renewal and you haven't ever actually had a Insurance policy cancelled. Bite the bullet, pay it and get back on track.
  18. I'd definitely low ball him, he might be lazy and take it.. then you're winning both ways.
  19. This is something I can't resist, first thing I do on any auction car is drive it around a short route outside the AH, plug the bugger in and check if I've been shafted and then stick it in the hotel car park next door until I can come back and collect later on
  20. What year is the TT? Atleast the auto box isn't f#cked
  21. Nothing here.. completely dead, 10 in stock.. last time I sold a car was Friday.
  22. Ok, what you do here is ask for the car back from Copart (Either directly or via your insurer), appoint an independent assessor and then have them value your vehicle. Beware though the assessors valuation is final and it can even be less than less than the current offer, although unlikely.
  23. You may struggle getting taxi insurance after an At Fault accident, might be worth hiring your next one incl insurance.
  24. Was the accident your fault? It does make a difference in terms of your options and getting the most back.
