"What will you give me?" Cock

One thing does cometo mind. I haven't seen any female auctioneers! This is where women should want equality. I so could use my good looks and get a bargain...

Its not the auctions its the buyers. Too many people doing it. Everyone can buy and sell from home "make quick cash innit" Some cars go for a lot more than a private would be selling it ! Plus the false auctioneer bids dont help.

Or the message prompt that says EML has come on

There's clear terms and conditions in insurance docs that state "the company may refuse to pay out in certain circumstances" and they list these. https://www.budgetinsurance.com/car-insurance/about-your-policy/car-insurance-the-motor-insurers-bureau-mib/ Please give the above a read look a bit more into it regarding the MIB and their role. Like I said the OP must insist on this and tell his insurer that third party need to be dealt with by MIB. Meanwhile he needs Mr Mechanic to pay for his car. And slap him with 6 points and a fine for driving his car uninsured. If he pisses about further ie doesn't want to pay and prolongs it then take him to court where he can get a criminal record and then the bailiffs can come knocking on his door. We all do wrong sometimes but it really infuriates me when lil gits take the Mickey then disappear hoping the person that they just fobbed off will stay quiet and take it on the chin.

So @Tony A on here has an issue whereby insurance are accusing him of an accident when someone else made clone plates and therefore he's being blamed. Is this reasonable? I did 7 boring years in Traffic as a bobby and we seized countless cars where one mate would insure under traders and his pals would just use that as a pool car. The driver was informed of all of the above. In other instances where an uninsured driver had hit a third party vehicle the third party claims were dealt with by the Motor Insurance Bureau. Who have funding for this sort of thing. The examples you gave are reasonable but its not reasonable for someone to give their vehicle in for work and the worker thrashing it on a 200 mile round trip because he believes he wont get pulled as its "live on the MID innit". These incidents wont be covered. Yes the insurance may pay out as they get to hike your premium. Like I said they just want more £££

Never said dont bother with them. I said stand up to them. Big difference. It does help if people read themselves rather than moan that punters fail to read and bother them for warranty issues that aren't included

That is utter nonsense. Insurance doesnt work like that. My policy covers me and my business partners only. We have demonstration cover and we have to be present in the car. No insurAnce company will pay out if none of the name parties were driving the vehicle. There is even small print in insurance docs stipulating this. I really dont know who tells you folks they do. Please dont listen to your brokers they will tell you anything as long as they get £££ We're not in Poland chaps were the vehicle needs insurance and not the driver. Ie if the vehicle is insured anyone can drive it.

Got an update prompt for the BCA app that you can now bid live... I cannot update as I got no more storage space left on the phone! Has anyone tried it? And can you hear the auctioneer?

Not liable for the claim but your insurer could pay out? If you're not liable then they shouldnt be paying out. Your premium going up and losing ncd is your loss even though you wasn't involved in the accident! Why would you accept this? If you went for a new quote next year and told your new company that "I wasnt at fault but because someone else drove my car it fell down to my previous company to pay out as a result i lost my ncb" they will be very suspicious. You dont have a car hire insurance policy whereby it doesnt matter who the driver was they would pay out This could be insurance fraud for all you know....matey boy hits his pals car and rakes in £££ When an uninsured driver hits another persons car the MIB have a pot where they pay out from. You do need to get some advice before you accept the fault...

Wow am shocked at Some of the replies here. Some suggesting OP is responsible because he gave him the car? YES he gave him the car to do WORK on not thrash about! OP believes his word that his company will insure him for a side job. Are you on coo coo land? Would you insure your driver who helps you pick up motors on a side job he does on a car that you dont have any involvement with?! Whether he is registered or not is not the issue here. He has taken the car without your knowledge. You DROPPED the vehicle off to him and PICK it up when the work is done. HE DOESNT pick up or drop off to you (from what i gather). This is what you need to stick to. He has taken the vehicle without consent. I dont know if the MIB will pay the third party because the driver was uninsured. And you would be left to either repair your own at your cost or fork it out of him. And man up please. He has fobbed you off. He knows why. And he is playing you at it!!! This sort of thing makes me infuriate! Edit: You may get pulled up about why you dropped it off with no MOT. Unless you put it on a trailer.... Only time a vehicle is allowed without an MOT on the road is if it is on the way to a pre booked MOT. Or it has failed it and is on the way to a garage to do some work. NB you dont have to get work done from the same garage that failed the MOT and are legally allowed to go to a garage to get work done.

Tell them that and provide evidence that the 2004 and 2008 models differ. Also is the car the same colour? If not point this out You got your mid removal and add on dates. Provide these. Your BCA invoice. If you bought it from BCA that is. If you know someone workibg there have a friendly chat see if they can dig their advert out and hopefully you can use their images? They might keep things on file for 6 years(I might be wrong about this).

Thats a good chunk you got off there! Well done

£4k is possible with dealer parts and £120 per hour Labour plus vat...15hr labour... Or the mechanic is fobbing too For parts and work that isnt needed. I remember I went to an exhaust place once and they did the usual mechanic works. Anyways they were keen on pads for every customer. Alternatively it is possible to give customers a breakdown costs of parts and labour. Parts from euros or gsf usually come with a whooping 60% discount. If you give them a breakdown and even retail mechanic rates it would come in it at a fraction of the £4k! And to rub it in... Tell them "you can go on gsf or euros website enter the reg number and click on the parts you need and the discount code is at the top. You can see for yourself"

There's a way of talking to someone. There's no need to swear and fucking this and fucking that. Thats all am saying. If you're not taking any notice then don't.

As time goes on more and more people tend to window shop. Come for a view and test drive... And they done that for another 5. Its abit like modern dating they cant stick to one person or give them a go...

Both customers for the same bmw? If not then why tell one the chain is done and the other that it only needs doing if its slack? Sorry but it wasn't clear

Why did bca post it? Didnt you get it upon collection? Or was the vehicle delivered and the driver didnt bring it? What about the other docs like mot and servicing and spare keys?

Lol I thought i got shit treatment from BCA Wolverhampton today. Rude staff standing around swearing and no one in the key cabin and they tell you to keep waiting there. I keep telling you boys stand up against the Bully Cunt Arseholes

They are quite generous from my past few experiences Years ago they were tight!

But dont they look at autotrader private seller price for a privately owned vehicle in any case?

Chigwell? Is that Essex? Good luck to you Some areas / forces are tedious

Where was this?

Not always. If you look ragged and rough gangster type presumably yes. But you sell cars on a daily basis. You can count how many punters could get pulled over for not having a keeper. Because they bought it off you from the last 7 days and there's that change at dvla and even they say 6 weeks. Plus the updating of computer systems for relevent agencies. Yes its an excuse to pull you over if you get pc jobsworth. If you're in London then no but if you're up north somewhere quiet then pc too much time on his hands may bug you. It only gets worse if you start gobbing off "why you pull me rah rah rah" Mind you am on a challenge for an estate under £300 or £400 tops Because i got a property to renovate and try some plastering! We all need a banger

Think I read it on here or in a news paper article... David Cameron's police protection team called a dealer in Oxford and said the PM wants to buy a car and asked the dealer to stay open a little late and that they would be there at x time. (The dealer thought it was a prank) Lo and behold the squad along with the PM turned up to pitch at the exact time they said they would (I think it was something Ridiculous like 6.12pm) He bought a Micra for his missus and the cops looked fazed as the dealer didnt give any discount. So much they expected him to
