  1. ok then buy 10 cars from Birmingham and see how you get on
  2. there are no free lunches, the cars will have other issues
  3. The legal point of view is that the car park is private outside licensing hours, the pics were taken first thing. They want the truth? They can’t handle the truth How do you mean make a claim?
  4. well i got the letters through asking me to name the keeper, I have disputed that the land was private, watch this space
  5. i would hate to be a private person selling a car with this lot rocking up, always in an old octavia with 250k on, mother in the back not speaking a word of the Queens, yabbering away in Klingon between thmselves
  6. well the last 2 part ex ebay jobbies were won from Brum and no contact, the never ending saga of my auto avensis diesel generated most calls from that area and as soon as someone asks how many owners and whats my best/last/death price it tends to be from the lovely diverse area that is the Midlands, last time I checked i'd stop selling cars from the local Bazaar/Souk and my price wasn't an opeing gambit, the problem is for some reason this is spreading through the entire east european population that has landed #BREXIT
  7. i would sooner shit in my hands and clap then move to the Midlands
  8. its never really bothered me, what i don't care for is when punters ask me why the car had an oil leak in 2012? most of them have no idea about advisories
  9. Waste of time, usually foreign winning bidders who either don’t show or expect more money off
  10. put a load of fuel and drove it down the motorway like a Ferrari at an asian wedding and it seems to have crapped itself, hopefully sorted but watch this space
  11. the cabin is always full of evil smells but thats more to do with Manheim beans
  12. The belt was done at 50k so a long time ago, hopefully will get resolved tomorrow so I’ll post my findings Thing is these cars with dpf’s stay on the pitch and hardly move Or are started up and moved short distances
  13. it got 107k on any idea why the light hasnt popped on?
  14. Afternoon chaps, the car has started idling poorly and has now become a poor starter, we have had it on the computer and the live data is saying dpf 99% full but there are no engine lights on, the dpf light is visible at start up so it hasn’t been blanked off, I’ve had it down the motorway, 80mph in 4th gear for 10 miles each way and no difference, I’ve had a few issues with this unit but it’s not practical to run them every few days to keep the dpf happy I have a diesel expert coming out tomorrow but I’d be interested in people’s opinions thanks andy. Sorry it’s the 140bhp cr engine
  15. is it LB? they posted one and its arrived damaged
  16. I have a quick query if anyone could help, im after a LHS xenon headlight (complete) and finding it impossible to source, apparently the part is shared with the v70, the part number is 30678935, I'd be over the moon with any pointers, I have tried ebay and the usual breakers thanks Andy
