    Dead with us. Did a couple of snotters and one retail this week out of 90 stock with both sales guys blanking. September wasn't great but October is flat as a pancake. Few more enquiries this end of the week but they're all sub prime and/or mental.

    Hoping we have a strong end of the month but i'm not banking on it.

    We’re not far from you Grant, it’s dead here too. Even the ad-views are nearly nonexistent.

    Oh you are the guy who did the video I recognise your voice. I found it really helpful. 

    If you get it right it is an incredibly powerful sales tool and leads to many sales for us. Do I think they would come without, absolutely they did anyway we were not struggling without video but the thing I notice is the people who have watched them are far less picky when they come out and the sales are almost quick look, quick drive, sign here, pay here and off they go. I have sold it to them already instead of having to do it in person.

    Why would they? The vehicle is getting taxed. That’s all that matters I reckon. 

    It’s happened to me. The reason they get the ump is because if you tax the car on say the 3rd of the month, the first dd won’t come out of account till around the 15th. If the car sells on the 10th of the month and the dd is cancelled then no tax has been paid. They don’t block people from taxing cars, they block the bank account that was used.

    Yes it does, my GB40 was just under £100 but the GB70 is a heavier duty pack. 

    Maybe when you buy try it on a cheaper car, disconnect the battery completely and try to jump start just by attaching the NoCo to the cables / clamps. It has a little red button that you press for 3 seconds to override the "no battery found" protection. Should start up to 3.5l diesel, 5l petrol.

    I like the look of these...

    Nick, have you had any issues with yours? I.e it has let you down or says its fully charged but its not etc?

    Sorry I know that several on here think that letter is the way to go but for me it doesn’t do anything useful for you. 

    Mentioning the warranty is just erroneous, it means the square root of fuck all when it comes to dealing with the CRA. 

    I don’t wish to sound like a twat but my suggestion of a letter was better. It deals with the fact he won’t release the mileage to you and deals with the fact that an EML isn’t a fault, it’s a possible indicator of a fault. 

    It also showed you in the correct light, that you are a reasonable person and he is being unreasonable. 

    In your shoes, I would now send my suggested letter with something added in clarifying that the EML coming on is not a sign that the initial fault has not been fixed but merely a sign that the car has developed a fault which is in all probability unrelated to the first fault. It is probably not an ongoing fault but a new fault. 

    Start setting this bloke straight, stop mentioning what happened before and specialists and warranties. Act like this is a new problem (it probably is) and in any case he was never entitled to a full refund anyway. 

    I’d say that would be his best chance of getting his full refund as if the facts were laid bare he’d be getting nowhere near a full refund. Barclaycard may well wilt, shove him his money and try and bully the full amount out of OP. 

    No chance. This long down the line they will investigate first. They will want both sides of the story. OP will explain the buyer is withholding information. He could’ve put 10k on it for all we know, and he wants a full refund from credit card company? Haha no way will they entertain that. 

    They wont do anything without serious evidence. 

    Ive been on both ends of this. They don’t just ‘refund’ as easy as people believe.

    You can’t BUT that’s not the issue. HE has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the deal so in no way shape or form should you entertain him. End of.

    I had a similar issue 2 years back. Went to court, the Dad said he would be speaking on daughters behalf. She just sat there on her phone and didnt say a word.

    The judge had no problem with it - didnt even mention it in fact!

    Professional lookers, knowitalls, chavs, motability, people expecting the moon on a stick (cheers James) for under £2k.  Has the cambelt been changed on a chain driven motor. Penniless, greed, disrespectful, these cars are notorious for.... (why look then).  Whole families coming to view, kids running around, have you got a toilet, need to check the insurance, how long have you been doing this. My family ringing me every single day asking me to do something for them (because being self employed means I have all the time in the world). People wanting to come to the auction and save a fortune.

    Lol agree with every word of this!

    This is all classic of someone who has thought it through and has considered your every move. 

    Don’t give in on this one mate. Don’t speak to him again till you have the full story. He knows you are young and vulnerable. He is gonna bully you until you do what he wants.

    Ref 30 days rejection......on an old end of life banger like this a major mechanical defect would be engine falling out, not an EML that doesn't render the vehicle undriveable, would it not. 

    Agreed. 

    It would have to be catastrophic failure. 

    On the other hand what justifies an end of life banger???

    Apparently so yes, I shall call them tomorrow morning 

    I doubt they’d want to get involved, i certainly wouldn’t if I were them

    Yeah phone them direct. Get it in writing what the fault is. That’s all the proof you need regarding statements etc.

    Thankyou very much, is it worth me calling the specialist tomorrow morning and finding out the fault? (Specialist has been very very helpful in my favour and are not a fan of the “gentleman” I sold the car to either’

    Has he taken it back there since the light came on again?
