  1. Henry Hoovers a great although I have https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb351vac-1400w-20ltr-wet-dry-vacuum-cleaner-240v/56239 Works fantastically (one wheel broken off though) but as a vacuum wet/dry brilliant and picks up anything and everything. Cheap as chips
  2. Biggest hit as in = Loss or biggest hits as in = Win?
  3. I like all the customers, regardless of their behaviour. It's only the time wasting best offer brigade that really get my hackles up. Sold 6 this month, all genuinely good folk.
  4. Got a choice: Currently, 55 plate Cooper which I have more or less given up selling (put price up) Got an 05 Passat Trendline TDI (taken in chop yesterday) 144k (arrives Saturday) RR Sport done 158k but still looks and drives beautifully (my tenth one, so I know they're a money pit) Mini is taxed and registered in my name but it isn't very manly (purple) - Passat would make a great smoker but the RRS keeps calling me.
  5. +1 but I rarely handle cash - bank transfer is always, always my preference
  6. Exactly and do the privates provide a Full English? I rest my case
  7. On 28th March I applied for a business account with HSBC. Having chased every week, they said you just have to wait, there's a backlog and 5-7 working days will see you up and running. Still nothing as of today 18th May. I contact Santander, 1 hour later, account open, debit card en route, account number supplied and we're off and running. Unbeliveable!
  8. Thank you. I don't really know why I turn the wheels that way, just to add some drama I suppose. Can still see alloys from other side and you can check out my tyre tread depths. I guess you can tell where the pics are taken (being a Wombourner).
  9. Sorry James - I was at the auction and only saw the call later on (and didn't have your number). I'm out all day tomorrow (wifes birthday) but I'll dig that missed call and call you on Friday?
  10. Erm... can you not apply for some Mastercards/Visa before you ditch your FT job?
  11. I was there today and it was ok but no steals - just one DS3 for me. Assured worked for me though - said engine was noisy and static gear selection needed attention - utter rubbish, drives sweat and gears spot on???
  12. Can you not simply pay for the stock on your CC (depending on how, where you source?)
  13. He must mean he cannot find the limiter function which should be in the MFD, MMI settings (or whatever VW call it). Or it may have a winter tyre mode (like Merc). Either way, I would suggest he bring it back to you so you can turn it off, cost zero (if I'm right)
  14. 5 Sold - 1 refunded (my choice at deposit stage, due to gearbox fault), so nett 4 and couple more viewings imminent
  15. Just painted the osr quarter plastic faded bumper on my Qashqai - used matt black aerosol and it looks mint, you'd never know. Trust me.
  16. Don't quote me but I am sure this only applies to 2014 and newer anyway?
  17. +1 and the mileage on that Z4 albeit low, is not low enough for any true purest IMO
  18. In reality, they can't - it is your property. Only the police or VOSA themselves can seize or confiscate a vehicle. Absolute nonsense - my MOT garage wouldn't have space for failed cars in any case as only has parking for around 15 cars including those in for service work.
  19. 56 plate 4WD Tekna with 73K - very very tidy and pan roof. Only remaining issue (besides steering wheel) is the keyless entry/start. Key guy has managed to cut second key and program for remote CL but cannot get the "intelligent" key to talk to the car - just does not recognise the key(s) - any suggestions?
  20. Out of interest, what possible reason would you have for arguing against it? This general forum is in the public domain and sometimes we need to discuss sensitive issues (CRA, specific cars etc) and the support from fellow traders without Joe Public witnessing the suggesstions is ideal IMO
  21. Nah - defo the flux capacitor
  22. It is the Qashqai that I need it doing on Thanks Guys
