  1. This off season buying only seems to work with 4x4s in the summer, but even that isn't what it used to be because large 4x4 are no longer popular and small SUVs have year round appeal from mums.
  2. VCT engine can be a lot of trouble with the variable timing system. I remember a vanilla 1.6 Focus that had a terrible time when cold with the symptoms mentioned above in the thread. Turns out the weather was leaking through the seals of the washer jets directly beneath onto the leads and plugs. Bit of silicone sealant to plug the leak and dried everything out and it was 100%
  3. I hope the deal was chunky enough
  4. I'm going to regret mentioning this...
  5. Similar stomping ground + Wolves + Notts + Perry Barr Have you ever made it to Fleet auctions in Coalville ? Small selection, but on when the big houses are running. Never been personally
  6. I agree. R56 series starting to get old and the new car never really took off despite being out 4 years.
  7. Ok fair enough. Are you in Birmingham (BHM) ??
  8. 7 year warranties mind (which they need given the price of parts)
  9. Why the Kia Sportage ? Too many on the market?
  10. Round up your offer to £6100 and remind them of WBAC admin fees
  11. Yeah, better still repair it in the auction yard, jump the flat battery and drive it to a pre-booked MOT where it passes with no advisories
  12. PS. You don't need to remove the radio on Fords from the past 10 yrs There are secret menu tricks to reveal the serial code - Google for specific models
  13. Very cheap leases capped at 8k pa
  14. Can bus blocker. You can buy them for £50 . The mileage corrected itself after removal because of the mileage counted by the gearbox. Was it a W204 C Class by any chance ?
  15. either drag and drop the image url into the text box or [ img ] photo.jpeg [ /img ] remove the spaces ^
  16. Brilliant Nick. Wish I could take photos like that.
  17. You can say that again. Your cars seem cheap enough, especially for the area.
  18. The 2010 Picanto is at least £500 too cheap
  19. I remember 3 year old Auris Hybrids (new shape) making £9.5 k a few years ago at BCA Wolves at the Toyota group sales.
  20. I reckon it would be gone within 14 days at £2500
  21. I often wonder about these kinds of services I see theres a guy who offers virgin Corsa ecus on ebay for £250+ Seems like something you can learn from Youtube and you can buy a whole Corsa for a few quid, let alone a stack of ECUs from a scrap yard.
  22. To be fair that could be anyone of 2 out of 5 BCA cars
  23. It really wouldn't all morning !
