    Are Mannheim or Aston Barclay any better? I’ve only ever done BCA myself 

    Manheim are fair ashton Barclays been once and that was enough. Bca just want to see how quick they can get through all the lots rather then seeing how many they can sell to actual buyers and that's the difference with manheim

    Just wondered if anyone knows where I can hire a good exorcist. I don't know why but everywhere I look I feel like im being haunted, on the plus side though he is quite a friendly ghost.

    Thanks in advance

    Sell it with 1 month 1000 miles limited warranty. 

    Essentially meaning that it will be covered on it's way to Dover if anything major gives way which seems extremely unlikely. This way buyer gets a small amount of peace of mind and you get a lot of peace of mind once that 1000 rolls on the odometer. 

    Had a conversation with him via watsapp and he will be happy as long as it gets to dover with no issue but if it does some how fall to pieces then we have agreed to collect the car and him once he crosses the channel it's his own problem and he seems to be happy with that. Guessing that is fair enough

    Hi all, not sold many to over seas buyers and non bothered asking for warranty. Got 1 at the moment who wants to take it to Europe and is asking if warranty will be included. Is it just a case of once it's out of uk not covered buy us or any third party. I know It sounds stupid but don't want to get in bother if anything did ever go wrong

    Was it just a gasket?, a few years back we had a few failures under warranty on the 320i and they had to change the rocker cover, I seem to recall it’s plastic and warps?

    In the event you did get a failure on a 1.0 Ecoboost Ford still help with goodwill as long as you can show service history.

    Yes just a new rocker cover gasket fresh oil and a new oil filter job done. No more oil dripping on to exhaust

    I can’t believe the DVSA have not thought to invalidate MOTs following insurance loss. 

    You’d think it was common sense. 

    Always always do a new Mot on a write off car to confirm that repairs have been carried out to a high enough standard and that the car is STILL roadworthy. There is no point to save the £30odd test fee. 

    You're right nick just don't understand vosa sometimes. Even if it's minor damage but been written off as a category d surely if the headlight is damaged it must be repaired to be road legal what if the aim of the light if pointing towards the stars and not the road

    Hi, bought one written off car with a wing and door dents. Wing and door are replaced with other not new ones.

    The car has valid MOT but do I need to MOT again after the written off repair. Car is with cosmetic dents only category N

     

    Thanks guys

    New mot would make new owner buy with confidence

    Hi all, just a quick 1 on payments from France the bloke is very keen and willing to pay a £300 deposit via transfer or western union. How should we go about it? Told him will speak to the bank tomorrow to see how international payments are charged and if safe:ph34r: but told him The remainder of the balance to be paid by cash as not sure on the rules and regulations of payments from across the pond.
