Casper

Enjoy your magnums Mark ..

I would probably do the same .I would give them the dates and mileage and dealer telephone number and say they could call to confirm the 2 services .

Its terrible isn't it nick . Asking that kind of money

£1975

Maybe better just mentioning it to the previous owner . I find main dealers vary from branch to branch on levels of serviced phoned one last week to book a vw first service after about 5 failed attempted I tried another dealer owned by the same group also fairly local to me 3 minute phone call the car was booked in and the service advisor couldn't have been more helpful .

Would probably do ok on ebay if you get a serious bidder .

Weird is not on the database I thought most dealer were a central database now Try another dealer . I find it varies for dealer to dealer to dealer. Even the same group in a different location they maybe be able to trace them . Ive also noticed a lot of the independents can now update services online with there computer . Unsure if they can access previous services but saying that I'm sure someone told me he got a print out for a landrover disco from a place local to him . the other option would be say to customer its been BMW serviced and offer to meet half way if they insist on the charge . Just an idea and suggestion although if I couldn't get anywhere id probably just pay cause it will add value to car ..

There is a actually a funny but sad story with regards to the Casper name I've an older neighbour who I visit in her 70s to make sure she is ok . who is no longer fit to go to graveyard to attend Her husbands grave. so I've took in on board to plant flowers etc there when I get a chance at evenings and weekend afternoons it was upsetting her that she couldn't get she always had it beautiful when she could . Had some flowers in the car one day and one of the guys noticed them and said to him I was going later he said to me we will have to start calling you Casper .and it stuck .

. No NOACROSS I've been in trade since 1999 on and sometimes off through ill health . I recently found the forum around 3 months ago so decided to sign up . its been very informative and I've tried to take part and join discussions and start some threads . as there seem to be a lot of one post wonders on here ...

Thanks. I've been trying . Ill try my best sir hopefully get a pass Grade. From Mark and your good self lol . .

And you Tony your welcome..

I try my best to help . Its a great little forum with decent members . And I also appreciate the help and advice

Agreed I should have stuck it at at college did a course for about 6 months then chucked it was meant to be a year can tidy up a cheap runaround but for better stuff not really pro level. preferred the auctions buying stock at the time with a car dealer friend at the time . To be fair he Did learn me a lot and put up with some of my mistakes back then as a young know it all and we still remain good friends . And i still get the odd car for him on the block

Thats good for wheels . got a set done last week cost was £225

Would just like to say a big thank you to everyone here for help advice and warm welcome . as I've seen on a few posts and a few of you guys and girls saying manners cost nothing and as my old boy always said and now he's older and probably wiser and still says to me a lot its nice to be nice .so thought i should thank you all not long found the forum but hope to play an active part in it for years to come and hope to be able to help with advice and thoughts were I can like you guys and girls do also many thanks .

Thank you always good to hear peoples thoughts and advice

Ha like it Nick On that note like you say how funny is it when you see a base 1.4 golf etc with a Gti badge and some alloys .same with the es 3 series with tinted windows and a m sport badge had a guy once say he had a focus st diesel when he turned up what he actually had was an st line

Good point Mark . think ill stick to the key fobs and air fresheners . though i was looking earlier after I posted and seen you can get a single socket one . Was just a thought really though the usb cable charger for the usb socket is. a nice touch . Liked that idea from RH

Thats a brilliant idea well done you grandson for thinking that up . who supplies them. It also got my thinking maybe some of they usb ports thats turns the 12 volt socket in to 2 usb ports might be a good idea with some company branding thanks for advice .

I guess as you guys say thats the only way you could do it if I'm ever asked the same question this shall be the answer .

You can bet your bottom dollar it needs the brakes doing or a tyre on the fhc . thats the favourite ones they told me a tyre needed replaced at a Peugeot dealer when had a car in for warranty work. I asked for the tread depth they said its on 4 mil

I know Don't know what id say in the same situation . Hopefully someone on here has experience on it .

Deffo .

On holiday in there day vans lol sure one will be along soon .
