  1. Buy the old scrap at the end of the day at Walsall and flog for double like these guys. They've been at it for years changing names every 12 months.. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/services/car-dealers/uk/west-midlands/west-midlands/birmingham/car-place-birmingham-ltd-birmingham-dpp-10001411/sort/default Good luck
  2. I think they leak ATF over the loom connector too
  3. twerp

    Discovery 4

    You know how the 3.0 Diesel is to be avoided in 2013 RR & RRS due to a locating tab on the crank failing and seizing the engine, is this an issue on Discos ?
  4. Best system is Mercedes STAR, but it depends on the guy scanning it using common sense and some knowledge. I'm assuming its a petrol ? Forgot to mention, there is a sort of copy of STAR available as a hand held scanner called the i980 (Mercedes version) for £100
  5. These will not show on a generic code reader and rarely on Mercedes STAR system All the best
  6. Used to be quite a few problems with these with the gearbox ECU and cam position sensor.
  7. Looks the same as this (real) https://twitter.com/SC3350NYP/status/934156794087329792
  8. ^ Not worth it if they leave a negative AT/Facebook/Google review
  9. Thanks guys - these figures seem like more than I guessed but then look at the costs of opening a site.
  10. I ask because I know of a guy that buys and puts all his cars through 2 x garages down south to sell for him instead of taking the hassle/time of sales himself. Seems like a smart biz model assuming the commission isn't too high.
  11. Whats the going rate places charge to SOR £10-£20k units ?
  12. I remember an IS220D that was on its third engine at 4 years old (150k) going through the block
  13. Lovely cars. In 2011 I had a IS300 LE bought without history and couldn't give it away. Superb stereo and so smooth. 6 months after it had gone, the auction forwarded 2x spare keys and a fully stamped book...
  14. I don't know how you manage it. If I'm tracking a dozen cars on LiveBid in a morning, I will without fail miss 2-3 of them.
  15. Steve is bad for this, although does let a lot go cheaply for no hassle bidders
  16. Does anyone sell vans effectively through AutoTrader ? Seems hard to filter for specific models.
  17. Genuinely surprised any of you took Motors seriously. Let alone sign up with them. Why do you think a regular punter would use their website which has zero brand recognition or media footprint ?
  18. Nicer manual gearbox in these W204 C Class than in the equivalent BMW 3 Series in my opinion. Much nicer to drive too.
  19. Always a few that pop up in Motability that end up very cheap
  20. What's wrong with it ??! Just looked up the advert and it looks stunning. Sort of thing that should sell within a week of advertising
  21. You would get 4 cars in that
  22. I still can't believe I didn't buy this at £8100 all those months ago (actually sold at that price despite the screenshot) It had Sat nav, brown leather and was Grade 1
