Area 51

Welcome! Plenty of useful and friendly help here... I'd suggest going into the old posts with a warm drink and you will find loads of answers and knowledge FOC! Most topics are covered.. Good luck!

Agreed.. the Nissan CEO has been in jail since before Xmas; he was bringing Renault and Nissan closer to common manufacturer (merger?) had been for years - from stuff I read some time ago. Seems the orientals decided they were too far down the "becoming one" route for their liking, CEO is accused of hiding bonuses.. Maybe Nissan are using this as another reason for switching build out of EU (UK)... Other reasons being downturn in SUV sales downturn in new car sales downturn in diesel sales Non are just a UK problem, its global EU did a trade deal with Japan in late 2018, be interesting to see if they eventually shafts the UK and Nissan presence here.. I dont think for a moment it will have been done in UK interests foremost in their minds

I read a fair bit about it on various threads.. but this landed in the mail before lunch and confirms many feelings we share! Stock hard to find & should we advertise in Cyprus & Ireland?

i'd send them a link to a Jag for sale at £6k.... Some tossers & chancers out there, think everyone is as desperate as themselves... occupational hazard... Slightly off topic, the link being tosser... Saw a dealer in shorts (tight and high thigh) and trainers last Friday at BCA, just has his eyebrows done too... Lordy lordy.. its quiet but the phone is on, I'm off to Costco..

Last two sold had buyers 145miles apart! One was around 80miles from me the other over 70miles!... So a "local area" would not have sold these two... I guess it can depend on the car/spec/colour.. as billies will travel for their choice of motor ... "local area" deals may suit billies looking for something / anything for grand or two.. just my opinion though

I'd a agree with this, just put something aside each sale to cover "silly billies"...

Now you have told them, their "bots" will spot this ...

I'd say with service like that you are better than the main stealers and will get some rewards from the billie spreading the good word what a decent chap you are on a chilly morning.. sh*t batteries seem to count for a lot nowadays.. dont get me "started" on low battery and stop starts...

Lessons from Nick, thanks for advice here plus the objective and positive view .. V.helpful... In a nutshell as always EPV... Data, we all need DATA...

Cant imagine the chaps wages were especially high, totally against the law to withhold or delay a payment, compo payable for delays in the eyes of the sharp suits... Lot of PR there for Travelodge they couldn't of otherwise finance.. PMSL

Exactly Dave, then rinse and repeat!

Remember being told "treat others how you would wish to be treated yourself".. Nothing wrong with this, just need to sniff out the mickey takers.. early on! Non the less, well done dealing with this one at such a distance and keeping the billie happy. He will be enjoying his motor this weekend and sleeping easy.. which is all part of the service we aim to deliver..

Couldnt agree more, Customer service in a nutshell.. and I reckon this gets you a thousand kind words; once you could never finance! Awkward arses I need to stand in the corner and do three turns whilst biting my lip otherwise I can take the bait, not proud of it at all.. Its fatal and I regret it.. Good result.

TONY is the best "Noo Jurzeee" accent Gotta luv Carm's accent.. and the heels in the shrinks office

What type of Pikey uses a chisel FFS.... lemme guess, skirt wearing swivel eyed relative of Sturgeon from the hills...

Bazzin result here, one impressed billy and one happy Arfur... Good start too the weekend in my book.. Well done all here.. RESULT! Nicely done here, another good one to end the week on.

Sent it off new 12mths off at end of November, still square of jack by way of a response.. Why they dont make the renewal auto and online is a another mystery... But then again.. Anything delivered by this government remains a mystery full stop.

Honorary membership to the forum right there...

Welcome and good luck, I am sure if any of us a can help on the mainland, at auction or otherwise shout out.. Works both ways so always handy to know someone is over there..

Shocking.. We are surrounded by them... Imagine this in an RTA.... Doesnt bare thinking about.. mind you; the average billie doesnt bare thinking about Who was it said "stoopid is as stoopid does"

Think there will always be flaws to be honest, then throw in the odd pissy tester/self appointed savior of the billies and highways in the UK.. I cringe when I see advisory say, unable to inspect underside due protection being in place.. Utter plank who includes this or any other insignificant comments.. Need their biro sticking up their nose

Was at my local GRG this morning with three jobs for them on new arrivals, they had closed yesterday at 3pm so I missed them. The reason, annual refresher training for the three MOT Lads.. I was told they were shown their individual results vs national results as a test station and as testers! Looks like they are monitored back door to front now, frequency of failures/ares of failures.. head tester was showing as red and a warning, turns out as he performs the most tests - some 218 in the last 6mths of the 2018 so he gets the most results against his test number.. no issues with him, just really rigorous tester! I am told they used him as a good example! Shows how tightly they intend monitoring and how they will choose what stations to inspect/repeated areas of failure.. Just think of the ruddy stats they have on failure rates/areas of failure by Manufacturer/model... Got to be worth a good few quid to someone..! For me, so long as the car is tested thoroughly and gets its ticket, its peace of mind.

Many Happy Return Row! May it be a leave free doing, plenty of what you like, a sale or two and some laughs.. as for Westminster... Full of chancers...

Handy extra little income stream for how much outlay exactly... ? If only we could get away with something similar, oh yeah; with a guaranteed multiplier of thousands of users taking you up on the option.. About this time of year these planks get their bonuses isnt it... Ho hum #metoo

This sprung to mind right away, given the interest in videos... I'm sure they do work.. getting the right location is everything! Tend to agree ebay has been / is quiet! Wonder if they are intergrating Gumtree behind the scenes in some way.. Usually when ebay is quiet, they are updating or messing up their site.. I say this based on a few selling forums that report on ebays "antics" and reasons why sales/views are down!! Its all about exposure and bring the customers too you, so for the £175.. I'd say its worth it.. More likely to be shortage of ready funds for billies, pre / post Xmas..
