    Looking a little advise please.

     

    have taken a fiesta in as a trade and both front seats are covered in ground in makeup which is proving hard to remove. Have used a George with fabric cleaner but it is difficult for it to break the makeup down.
     

    Was going to try maybe TFR or would this be to much for the fabric? Any recommendations please? 

     

    Also it’s a zetec S so the fabric is softer than the normal fiestas 

     

    thanks  

    how old is this fiesta?

    My trade plates finally arrived today.Im wondering what you guys are using to display them?

    1.wedged in dash with a rag?

    2,suction cups?

    3,trade plates in a housing with rubber straps(might be better if the rozzers stop the car then at least i can fix them outside the car)?

    4, clip on brackets over existing number plate to allow trade plates to be displayed clearly,directly below existing reg plate.Although i would guess that there are quite a few cars with recessed plates that will make this impossible.

    A ever your thought and ideas are welcome.

    ps,as this is my 25th post i will be in the lounge soon,where hopefully there will be a monster piss up ongoing!

    just throw them on the front  dash and on the parcel shelf in the back:lol:

    Chip and pin cardholder there in person is very limited risk.Amex is just so they can get points, but takes a good few days for you to see the money.

    I broight a car recently i was bidding on but i am damn sure i was NOT the winning bid as i dropped out and watched it end, Few days later it in my purchased  section, Call them up and  they play the tapes back and i am the winning bidder, .......................few days latter its really getting to me i call the manager, He says he has watched the process and again states i am the winning bidder, I ask to hear the  tapes my self and i have GDPR well and trully stuffed up my nether regions, I dont know what to think but i am not the winning bidder but i ended up having it, Really poor car too

    Might be that the final bidder pulled out so there dobbing the car on you as you may have been the last bidder?

    Tell you what fella, ring your account manager. It’s what I usually do when I have a question and they usually give me the answer. Which is what happened when I asked the same question you asked and they gave me the answer I gave you. 

    Cheers

    Mate I’m not here to argue with you or for you to prove me wrong or vice versa, if you prefer to believe that AT are giving you fake views then I’ll leave you to crack on. I’ve told you why it is, up to you isn’t it. 

    You stated that similar doesnt count however look on your portal it specifically says vs similar cars.....

    Hi All

    I have been following the interesting threads here since recently joining, and I thought I would say hi to introduce myself.

    I have a chequered car history, and in the early day's lot of experience of driving 'sheds' over the years (I can laugh now!)

    Definitely, the worst was a Peugeot estate previously owned by a farmer to transport his sheep. The dented exterior complemented by the very natural smelling interior, and the sticker "Put British Pork On Your fork" which used to make our friends laugh at the vegetarian driving it.

    How could I forget my gold Metro held together by welding upon welding but driven until it died a natural death. Then came the mint green Toyota Corolla (named Trebor) although I have to admit I did actually quite like this one. However, I used to dread it when my (now husband) would say to me "I found us a new car":rolleyes:
    I have also had many experiences, as you might expect given the above, of riding with rescue vehicles. I remember vividly a very long trip home to London from Wales travelling in the cab with a newborn and a two-year-old. I really know how to have fun!

    Now I opt for safe, comfortable, and reliable.  For the last seven years, we've owned a 2008 Mercedes E220 ( it just keeps going!) to transport our three animals, sorry, I meant kids around :lol:. In fact, after one snack filled trip in the family car, the Peugeot was probably cleaner!  

    I dream of the day I will buy myself a Maserati Quattroporte, although I'm not sure if that ticks the reliable box!

    I look forward to learning from all of you experts and will help all I can to answer any questions you have on buying and selling cars using Facebook and Instagram.

    From what I have seen, in general, there does not seem to be a lot of love for Autotrader. Do you see a day where you don't have to use Autotrader?

    Nice story
