  1. What is VAG Com saying ?? If the lights on something will be stored
  2. Same here, that's why i do what I do, I just enjoy it
  3. So now you can add "Lockout Fail Safe Option" to the advert description and ask another £149 on the Retail
  4. On older Vaux / Opels some of the 1.7's were Isuzu and some were Vauxhalls own, horrible version of their OHC Petrols Isuzu was bomb proof. Talking of everyone slagging Vauxhalls, had a few MOT jobs on a mates Combi Van today, 1.3CDTI, 2008, 178k miles, sweet as a nut .................. Why ? Like everything, it had been maintained properly from day 1, ex postman pat van from Portree !! On all Cars / Vans etc these days even Service History means fuck all, it is actually a case of who serviced and repaired it and what quality of Fluids and Parts were used Like everything we all have our favourites, and then slag off what others sell / buy, but at the end of the day there is a helluva lot of vehicles that are perfectly fine at high mileages, but only if they have been looked after right !! I have an 04 E46 Touring Diesel on my books with 250k miles, drives regular Skye to Bristol, drives like new, same guy has 2011 E Class Wagon with 180k and a Sprinter with 340k all of which I look after and all regularly do the same journey. This guy has had both Cars from 1 year old, and the Sprinter for a long time, and he doesn't mind spending the correct money on them for a good job !!
  5. 1) Not worrying about what everyone else is doing. 2) Finding ones niche and earning good money out of it 3) Being adaptive to change. And them 3 are coming from me, who is an old dinosaur who can always see a problem with everything, and doesn't like change
  6. /\ /\ /\ Well said that man !! That's exactly my mind set, even your self description is spookily spot on The smart Business Man will seize the opportunity, but then again the smart business man will not be skint. I always have believed that the recessions we've had in the past just sort out the wheat from the chaff, get rid of the plastic Plumbers, Brickies, Mortgage Brokers, Car Dealers etc etc and then we get a nice little run before the next recession.
  7. LOL, read between the lines, a shitter has been sold at auction, bought by a private, who has rights to expect his £50 pile of poop to be fixed up into a brand new Car
  8. The E46 Turing BMW will be going home too after I've had my lunch Clutch and DMF plus Steering Angle Sensor fault due to Wanker Garage setting Tracking with Steering Wheel pissed, plus 2 new Bonnet Catches that arrived today, and a minor repair from a bump, (number plate and 2 kidney grilles) with a few paint touch ins, but the same wanker Garage absolutely destroyed the bonnet Catches with a crowbar / chisel because the Cable had become dislodged !!
  9. What a fuckin stoooopid piece of design that was
  10. Hi, Left front Wheel Bearing, 4very deep salty corrosion pits on outer race and 1 on inner race, balls colouring up straw colour I was surprised absolutely horrendous noise and harmonic at 30 mph, worse with speed but Driveshafts / CV's all perfect, it has had ABS Sensor and New Bearing, drives as lovely as they ever do now Customer on way to collect it
  11. That would be far too sensible
  12. If you know the Fraudsters Bank I'd try reporting them to the Financial Ombudsman, I think you have to write to them first, but the threat of that may make them cough up. Fuckin' farce if you asked me, failing that ask them to give you the name and address of their fraudster account holder !! Ruin the c*nt !! Too much of this shit going on these days !! November last year I bought Mel a Xmas pressie on line, 2 days later at 10:30 pm my bank (Santander) calls and tells me my Credit Card has been used suspiciously ......................... a £ 0.75p Parking Charge in Milton Keynes, and a £10.00 Mobile Top Up in North London ...................... "No not me", says I, "I haven't been anywhere near there and both my Cards are in my Wallet" .................... Card Cancelled on the spot, Refunded £10.75 in full and a £100.00 goodwill payment to my A/c because the girl on the phone accidentally cancelled both my Credit Card and also my Bank Card in error It was 4 days until I received 2 new cards, and I was not inconvenienced in the slightest, although I never actually said that to them
  13. /\ /\ /\ Absolutely love this, it's the way it should be here Love the "If you're mamma ain't gonna trust ya I aint gonna trust ya" shit AD, how's about putting this at the start of your Vids
  14. I was going to ask this very question this morning when i noticed the Chq not cashed, sod it then, I'll leave it another month and see what happens
  15. # fuckintwatknobjockeydickwad I take it it was a Fuel Injected Car too, so around 45 - 60 psi in that from the Pump !!
  16. Nah, "point the Phasers at the Di-Lithium Crystals, BAM, power restored" .................................... Well that shit worked last week
