  1. You wont get 10 cars in 1500ft
  2. "Stupid Question of the week' And you took a photo of a laptop screen
  3. It has also been a cold 4 weeks Sure it is getting upto temperature ? (Thermostat)
  4. Ask about where he is driving (obviously city) and compare with the urban combined cycle figures which probably aren't far off in an old tech auto petrol.
  5. A member on here runs RS Car Sales, Cheshire. Impressive turnover on what seems to be a lot of Facebook traffic.
  6. I would be tempted to buy the cheap iCarSoft MB V2.0 for £135 for just your Merc Does practically everything
  7. I heard a rumour that Alphabet cars are to be avoided, this was one of them. Never again. 4 Year old 320D On collection, I found a Manheim auction entry sheet from 3 months earlier in the middle of the service books.... Despite a rosy AA report, the car had a blown turbo and an EML- they refused to acknowledge and insisted on a further 2 x 20 mile AA tests showed the car to be fine. I even brought my own fault scanner and dragged the branch manager out to observe and they refused to do anything. 6 Months later I got £200 in goodwill of a Platinum account. Still, they've got the volume..
  8. Bedford are worse, but necessary. Don't get me started
  9. No but I could just tell from your story. Those afternoon sales at Bedford are ridiculous sometimes, they give some stuff away. Best one I can remember was a 1 year old Cyrus White Discovery Sport Auto, went cheap at £22k because it was non-UK but doesn't really matter. The day after it was up for £30k and sold not long after.
  10. Hot soapy water + scrub + wet vac
  11. Multitronics still need avoiding ?
  12. You must be lucky, B7 A4's were troublesome 5 years ago let alone now.
  13. Troublesome aftersales ? Not everyone can get away with Arthur Dealey's approach
  14. Obviously, but I would not risk the cash flow for the sake of £1600 p/mth
  15. Mileage is too high for a £5k+ example in my opinion
  16. Let me get this straight, you are big enough to have a £10m turnover but quibbling over £1600 p/month ?! Dropping Autotrader will do zilch for your profitability
  17. There was 4/5 traders in Birmingham who used to flip coins amongst themselves. Worked out well for them
  18. Get the codes read, it's not difficult Could be the MAF, could be anything
  19. Thankyou What is the deal with circa 2010 Coopers with reflective stickers on the arches like a USA car ?
  20. Enlighten me? I always thought : N14 = silver trim on radio N18 = black trim on radio Or you could just use the free VIN checker on realOEM
