  1. HOLD ON The car has been in an accident? Collision with another vehicle? If so this isnt your issue. Some Problems could have arised from the accident especially warning lights. Am i the only one thinking he wants 3400 off you and then claim 3400 write off value from insurance?
  2. Do you catch a flight from east midlands to Edinburgh? If so how much is the flight?
  3. Just ripped it out. Its a little shitty ribbon. 98 for that. Dogs bollox
  4. No leg to stand on. He should have contacted you to do the belt not do it himself. Then contact you after his belt snapped? (Or is he saying yours snapped and he had to replace engine?) Either way he's fucked. Go to court judge will slap him one and say 'as a legal profession why did you not contact the seller sooner and why after you spent your money and that too often 9 months?' He's destroyed your invoice on the belt change so you got no proof. Like AD said go in heavy handed with legal not alone. So many solicitors try it on. He's probably a poxy low level solicitor. Most are slack. Worked with many at the council
  5. BCA - so many times i never pulled out my card. Just given them my account number at rostrum and the desk. They just say mr council jobsworth i say yes. No id No address confirmation Nothing Anyone else notice this? Similarly your rival dealer bought a car you could go pay for it and pick it up whilst he still bidding. He wont have a clue until he went to cash desk at the end of his day.
  6. Stalker i did think that. But since maplins has closed down we're all done over now. I also been told some owners got a similar switch from maplins for 1.50 which jaguar sell for 98...
  7. Also it's the London attitude. Its generally everywhere. Go in a supermarket in London and ask them where beans are kept they wont know. Go up north and they will hold your hand and take you to the aisle. The north south divide isn't just on £££ I know Nick regularly expresses his frustration at BCA Walsall but at least they're helpful there unlike Enfield.... Enfield has the worse customer service. And i have regular done the feedback forms online saying this
  8. Indies.... Went to one he said 1.5hr labour plus parts = £215 An hour and a half? How can i disconnect it?
  9. If your proxy bid was 2000 and mine was 1900 and some others had 17 and 18... Makes sense to start at yours? Thats how i think of it. I dont let temptation get in the way and bid MY max
  10. Got a Jag X type 2008 estate. The tailgate glass randomly opens. At first it wasn't that bad now it can happen randomly 3 times in a minute... Apparently its the little micro switch which Jaguar charge £98 for.... Anyone know a cheaper fix?
  11. Enfield yard staff pass the bucket.... You ask one to take your car out he will say im not on that job ask someone else...
  12. I sit and think wtf... Or what the hell was all that about... When people go mad for a scrapper... A shity run around small car around a grand... Or a high mileage donkey
  13. What if its father and son or a mate... Lol Bet that's why some people have 2 cars
  14. you mean with it down? Had saab 93 2004 and you cannot tell the difference in winter! In fact some non convertibles were colder and shitter!
  15. I class them fractionally above and sometimes on par with Romanians on my Euro-meter
  16. Anything over 100k i struggle to sell. Over 100k is high...120 to 150k+ is where you can expect major problems with a car... Gearbox, pistons, top end, bottom end, oil leaks ...Thats the point where you decide whether you scrap it or spend tons of money on it... Before trade days i bought a 56 vectra with 113k... Replaced flywheel at 140... 146 the gearbox went! Had good service hisrory and that but service history means peanuts unless major components have been changed
  17. And what if 17mil vote out and lose by 10000 votes? Like i said you cannot win. Only solution is split the countries but no one would want to move. Cant win with the British
  18. Enfield dont allow you to get in and test clutch I still do. My response is if questioned - its not free am paying for it. You going to give me a new clutch?
  19. If they are fat and women wear long skirts they're romanians. If they're generally looking neat they're polish Polish are top end of scale Romanian bottom end Everything else falls in between
  20. Not always. I've had 2s. It does make sense to travel in group of 4...especially for a long drive so there's 2 People in each car. Those that dont do long drives alone often can find it tiresome and boring. Too many dealers never understand from the other viewpoint they always expect single people to turn up or a max of 2
  21. Thanks to Phillip and his range rovers brexit is no longer main headlines Brexit is a continuois can of worms. You can't win either way. Only way is if UK is split into 2 and leavers live on one side of the border and remainers on other. No other way
  22. Matey here got a quote of 1200 as a newbie though...regardless he is at home so am i...my renewal last year was 200 more than the previous year I don't get it
