  1. Am I missing something - just says rear number plate light not working
  2. If you really have to, it needs to be a white lounge spec and cheap, very cheap. Make sure mileage is low becuase these things are pure crap.
  3. I bought a mint 500S once, lovely looking thing, which was a good job because I looked at it forever and ever. Never again.
  4. It is exactly the same as if the car had been stolen off the driveway. Your insurer as the last named policy provider pay out, then claim off the offender. It is only when a vehicle has NO insurance full stop that you’re talking about.
  5. This is right. Whatever the circumstance, the insurance company who cover that car will pay the third party and if you're in breach of the policy terms and conditions, pursue the policyholder (or perhaps your mate) to reclaim their costs.
  6. Quite common to have that benefit removed on a U25 policy or if he is 3rd party only.
  7. And when you have one puncture, you get a run of punctures then go 10 years without one. I had a nail one tread to the left of centre (huge tyres) and (desperate), I took it to Formula 1 Tyres (multinational), who said that they cannot guarantee a repair because it is too close to the edge. Me, shut up mate, we're in the same game - here's £20, fix it and lose the invoice. Tyre was on +7mm.
  8. Isn't it amazing how a nail always ends up on the side wall? All that flat surface area, completely avoided but manages to snag just on the very edge/side
  9. Not legally then I reckon it will be a while until he comes to see you while you're holding a bat
  10. Someone sounds like (according to his Username) that he is knocking you and I off our Fat Perch @tradex Welcome by the way Fatboy. I know your pain....
  11. Just had a lovely straight deal on my S Class. Lovely couple, both Bulgarian. Propped via my website, accepted - came with all their details/ID to satisfy Close Bros and their PX was better than expected. Hadn't seen the car only my video, quick look around and big smiles - back off to Sunny Devon. Why can't everyone behave like this?
  12. I've had a few wasters this past week. One couple came to see my Tiguan, on a 15 with 40k FMDSH, 1 Previous, 2 keys, Match spec so NAV, self parking etc etc. Retail is £11,400, it's on at £10,995. Apart from one tiny speck of stone chip (I mean tiny, not dent) It is just what they are looking for then asks whether we have any more coming in? A) Probably not as good as this one - gone for a think
  13. And why the fuck do they do their shopping at weekends, blocking the aisles with their own tartan shopping trolley?
  14. Click on stock, top left corner. Click on Sold vehicles - Voila
  15. Wow - we've found our rat To be fair, I am a fat bastard.
  16. Funny how we all see things differently. BCA Wolverhampton is my favourite site, friendly staff and helpful yard staff, all address me by my first name.
  17. Post some obscure ones Tradex, let's see if our memories work.
  18. Ohhmeeger here unless it is a watch, then it is Oh Mega
  19. Got to be careful what I write, includes: live story. I have only ever had one real success story and am now searching for car 5 for someone who has always kept his side of the deal, no quibble. He asked me to find one for his mate (well introduced us to each other), wanted a late Focus. Been quoted for a 1.0 ECO shite from main dealer. I warned him off them and he asked me to find him a different model. My search began............. Whilst handing over car number 4 to my regular, I said how is your mate getting on. He said, the tw*t has bought a 1.0 ECO shite, didn't he call you to turn off the search....erm, no. Live: (make model deleted incase a Google search reveals itself to customer) Customer looking for 3rd car said can I find X for him any colour under 50K miles, upto £150 month with £2,500 dipper and his Ren.C in PX (like I say, the family already have two cars from me). 1 week later, sourced from Preston. Win (over book) X with 35k FMDSH and sport model in white, make all the figures work to meet his exact requirements. I let him know and he says great followed by radio silence. I thought (millenial), Whatsapp him (atleast I can see if he has seen my message). Please can you send me a £100 deposit to secure car and let me know when you want to collect. Said he will get back to me. 24 hours pass. I say that I need to know what he is doing because of collection, MOT, prep etc. Nothing back... I sink a few G&T's that evening and I am pretty miffed, so just send. "hello?" The reply was, I didn't expect you to find something so soon and I need to sort stuff out. I will give you an answer tomorrow. I thought What???? I sent a long message about how I work hard to find a specific car, not just any old junk, I have delivered what you asked etc etc. Anyway, reckon parents gave him a right telling as a dipper arrived at 9am the following day. I will NEVER do another car source without a NON refundable £500 deposit (unless I can't source within 1 month).
