    They're funny like that. Usually make all or nothing at auction
  2. Spelling mistake on the Jaguar XF 2.2 advert 'Brand New Brake Pads and Dishes Discs All Wheels' Again photos and descriptions aren't good enough for expensive cars like this. Also 'CLEARANCE' photo banners make you look desperate
  3. AD - have you parked it with a lot of steering lock ? I had this with a Merc recently, had to tug the wheel whilst putting the key in because the steering angle tripped the immobiliser
  4. I think you were lucky. They're sticking around these days
  5. Get to the back of the queue !
  6. True. Just a waste really
  7. Thanks, its not mine but in the family I'd have love to have inspected it myself and checked if the air filters managed to get wet. (I doubt it) Very strange
  8. Update : requires new engine at £17k + fitting Car now has now been written off. I just can not comprehend how water has entered the engine with such a high intake. I regularly drive through that ford in lower cars at the same level.
  9. BCA Mostly PX on Monday Overpriced fleet on Wednesday
  10. I wouldn't read too much into that. Look at some of the sale dates 5 + weeks away and probably not even in their possession
  11. Its not me TradeVet but thanks all the same ! I just copied it from another forum
  12. I know, which is why I said 'Don't forget your PDIs' at the top
  13. Just copied this from other page. Don't forget your PDIs ! Ladies and Gents- A few of you know I’ve been to court today- The Case- Gearbox fault with a Ford Galaxy 2012 Powershift, done 61k. Bloke did 14000 miles in it in 7 weeks, travelling From London to Barnsley in it every night night- electrician on the rail network. He did 10,000 miles in it before telling me about it, then a further 4000 miles in it after. RAC refuses to pay out on the warranty, DEKRA make a report to say its wear and tear. My defence- How can it not be ‘fit for purpose’ when he’s managed to do that amount of miles in it? Why did he carry on driving the car, for 4000 miles, after he’d said it was knackered? I tried to buy the car back before it got to court, wanting to allow 25 PPM, bloke rejected it. Summary- I lost, ordered to pay £3520 including costs. The whole ‘case’ was a charade, totally pointless as the judge had already made his mind up before I’d even got there. The judge wasn’t at all interested in how many miles he’d done in a certain time, he wasn’t interested in the fact that he’d continued to drive the car after he knew there was a fault. He just said ‘THE BURDEN OF PROOF’ is yours, you can’t prove the fault didn’t exist when you sold the car, the fact it happened in such a short time in you selling it suggests it did exist, regardless of mileage. Conclusion- DO NOT ALLOW ANY CASE GET TO COURT!! NO MATTER HOW CERTAIN YOU ARE YOU MAY WIN- YOU WON’T!!!
  14. Where are they getting exported to ? I thought that the far east only wants small petrols and hybrids ?
  15. Concerned if it catches on and there is even less p/x coming through
  16. typically denotes how long it has been in stock and how far they can discount before they clear at auction
  17. Going through their other 25,000 listings, it is slightly concerning how much auction fodder they are retailing. How many come backs are they anticipating ?!
  18. I was walking across a franchise forecourt not long ago and the almost all the stock needed attention but up for retail. And yet they're selling them with a promise of smart repairs if the customers makes a fuss.
  19. You realise 1ft = 12 inches ? I drive through it all the time - no chance of a wave or sucking up water
  20. I'm away and don't have all the details. But they wouldn't have driven at speed, thats for sure. I'm certain no water has been ingested. The air intakes on most Merc are high and is on this car :
  21. Water was confirmed 1 ft because I went there to check ! If I can manage 1.25 ft in lower cars I'm certain it hasn't drawn water in Thanks all
  22. It's only 1 foot so no chance there I don't have all the details, but I think it hit the water too quick and upset the SRS system
