Surely the mechanic that fitted the spring would have check the strut top mount? Fairly basic stuff

Local to us but I don’t bother with them tbh

I beg to differ tbh, I bought a car from them, found it to be delivered exactly when they said it would. Came as described with an Rac warranty. Can’t fault them tbh. I retailed the car I bought from them as it was cheap

Surely it would be just buy back at sold price and sell on for sold price so thus no margin due the second time essentially?

The Gabriel reports are like pulling teeth, I made an arse of one a while ago but thankfully they called me. I managed to put down I had down 12 million pound of deals

With the private stuff you need to be really fast these days but we are lucky enough to have a few people that offer us stuff etc and come direct.

We were a serious auction buyer but now only about 20% of our stock is from auction due to prices. We are getting a lot more stuff privately and from other contacts which although more time consuming means there is usually decent profit in the metal.

Pm nacman on here that’s where they are based

I know but surely time factor? I’d rather sell the car within 4 weeks and pay an extra £40 than wait 11.

Fiestas are being stolen as my 2 year old could steal one with a bit of training, security is shocking and eco boost engines are worth upwards of a grand

Why do you need one? Just use the tax guy and v62 at point of sale

Coil pack or plugs?

A car also never gives you an awkward hard on

So he went from photographing tits to having tits as customers in the car sales business look foward to having a listen!

Tried ecu testing?

Have a few hour run in the lorry tomorrow will hopefully listen in then

Yes there are no business to business selling regulations from what I am aware

At least it will get nicked before it breaks down though I think genuinely the only good vans are vw’s but I still bought a Fiat Ducato for myself because it’s cheaper and not that bad bar a few annoying electrical gremlins

The earlier traffics and vivaros from 53-06 used a Renault Laguna 1.9 engine were actually ok but from 06-13 they used a 2.0 which was bad for injector and timing chain issues. the newer 15/16 plates don’t seem that bad tbh, certainly no worse than a transit

If they have twice viewed it then it isn’t distance selling is it? I’d tell them to bolt

If anyone wants a laugh at Christmas try watching this Probably one of the funniest Scottish comedy’s. Hopefully the English get the humour in it.

Not dead dead here but just ticking over, nothing spectacular

Ok I’m going to go against the grain here, I always buy this type of stuff, personally I wouldn’t buy a pre facelift Range Rover sport though as they are very dated looking now in my opinion. If you do buy a Range Rover make sure it is the 3.6 TDV8 as it’s a brilliant engine, not had many issues other than boost pipes cracking etc. They can be expensive to maintain but I love the driving position and comfort so I don’t mind it. If you do manage to stretch to a facelift try get a Bali blue one, it’s a rare colour and brilliant for resale point of view X5’s are also good, I would avoid higher mileage x35 d’s though as have had bottom end trouble with a few. Common for rear airbag issues but only £40 per airbag to replace. I would only buy an M sport model aswell and the 7 seaters seem to be the best sellers for resale For all out reliability it has to be a Mercedes ML or Volvo XC90, Volvos are best on fuel but a bit underpowered and old manish. if you get a late 2011 Mercedes ML grand edition they look fairly fresh, have the nice piped leather inside and aside from eating abs sensors for fun I would say they are the most reliable of the bunch.

It’s rather mileagey and it’s a prefacelift which IMO are slightly dated. Centre caps look badly corroded and number plates look tired. £10 on eBay for a new set of centre caps, £15 for a new set of reg plates and then rephotograph on a sunny day though understandably that is hard to come by. That said don’t take my advice, I’ve been stuck with a silver e class coupe for about 2 months aswell! https://www.tvs-glasgow.co.uk/used-mercedes-benz-e-class-glasgow-south-lanarkshire-3115634

As above have the small truck coming back from Cornwall empty tomorrow if anyone needs anything transported further up the country.
