We had a 2010 Focus ST3 a few months ago, cat c’d in 2010 so must have taken a decent hit, normal retail was £9500, we retailed it for £6500 and it flew out the door.

We use rear window stickers and number plates if the old ones are tatty But usually just the stickers. As we are registered as a numberplate supplier it does lead to the occasional phone call from someone wanting numberplates which we don’t do. Only for our own cars.

I always do fine with them as a megane scenic all though it may not catch fire is still a much worse option and a Touran commands too strong money.

The transit sports / st’s always sell well up here to the purveyors of Columbia’s marching powder. I buy them whenever I can, all the better if they have crew windows

I am not overly familiar with da, it’s not a platform I have used. Is it just a case of registering or is there a subscription fee etc?

I dont mind spending a bit more money to future proof our investment as we move to newer cars.
Thanks for the input. I have looked into Autel but i think it lacks the programming facility for us no way of coding injectors or batterys.
Im sure the solus isnt dodgy
or at least i think chap is shutting his garage down and we have had a few tools of him and such.
Do you need to be connected to wifi for this to work or is all good once programmed onto the computer.
No need for WiFi, it’s all good when plugged in.
What cars can the Autel not program? We have used it to program batteries etc before I’m sure aswell as injectors unless I’m mistaken.

I use a heat gun to warm the area a little first.
As above, I personally use a blow torch though, 98% of the time it works, I did crack a Range Rover wheel once though but other than that usuall successful.

Is everyone still using handwritten invoices? My printed pads have ran out and the company that supplied them no longer exist. Is it time to move to computer generated ones or is everyone still doing it the old fashioned way?

We have many different diagnostic systems there isn’t one that does everything brilliantly. My advice would be to buy a cheap toughbook laptop and get the copy Delphi Software off eBay for £50.
Its almost as good as our £1300 maxidas system for a fraction of the cost!

We have picked up, Done 3 today and 1 yesterday so hopefully it stays like this as the last couple of Months have been poor.

Majority for us are within 90 minutes but I have just sold a car on Friday that’s getting exported to Spain

I would say not all Scottish people are tight but well we are

But anyway to the original poster I very much doubt it would be a direct fit you should have some mechanical knowledge and I’m sure you could sleeve it without too much difficulty. I assume a petrol st will have a large centre bore than a diesel.

Your slightly mistaken, diesels are quieter than petrol hence why people never notice their cars exhaust blowing when it’s diesel

2004 54 Iveco Eurocargo will be going up for sale shortly as I’ve upgraded to a 6 car truck.
It takes 2 on the lower bed and one on the upper deck.
Cab and bodywork are clean and tidy. Just had a tears test put on it, 350k km on clock roughly.
Looking for about 5 grand

Should be no problem with getting the v5 however it will show on hpi as import and I don’t think you can loose the ni number unless you put a private plate in it.
I have sold a few and never had any hassle.

It is a very grey area, I’ve had a trade policy since I was 18, in my early days it was just so I could insure my Subaru’s etc. However many a time was stopped late at night with pals in the car etc and I just said I was road testing the vehicle long term for faults. Never had any hassle apart from last year bear in mind I’m ten years older now, I got pulled out of my C63 for no insurance, they argued because it was a Friday evening in casual clothes I wasn’t working (I was actually on the way to collect a bill payment from a customer). Anyway to do without the grief I am now insured for sdp aswell.
I didn’t bother with this early on as my company would insure me for sdp however they would only cover me for upto a 1.8 N/A cars so not really any point.

I quite like the Bca auctioneers in Scotland, I feel sometimes if I’m the the hall and bidding against online they will sometimes just bang the hammer down quicker than they should and say sorry too slow online.
They seem to treat the people actual their fairer than online bidders.
