  1. has log book been sent off in new keepers name?
  2. with regards tailgate its probably a sticky microswitchdue to lack of use with regards cd i too would suggwest check for copy cd sticking or better dont check in case you damage the unit ,difficult one
  3. HI THE TURBO ACTUATOR LEVER CAN STICK THIS WOULD CAUSE YOUR PROBLEM IT WOULD NEED A MANCHESTER SREWDRIVER TO BEST CURE LOOK ON SAY THE FIAT FORUM FOR A WORK THROUGH oops caps
  4. better than last year but punters still wanting moons on sticks
  5. anbody who buys a car off this bloke with words like that deserves everything they get
  6. hi pad keep it as you are, this way you keep your pay cheque and more importantly you can walk away from sales at any time because its not your bread and butter,a win win situation i think
  7. Im with santander, just be aware the most in cash you can bank at your post office is now only a £1000 at a time and any cheques taken still need to be posted to liverpool,i refused a cheque today and asked them to bring in cash tomorrow for this very reason,its still better than going into the nearest town to pay in cash though
  8. Hi Philip i wish you a very successful business ,remember no questions are too daft to ask,its nice to have a forum of like minded people but on all different levels here
  9. is £120,000 enough to start up from scratch and fill a large pitch and service everything?or would 10 cars and an easyish in out without needing to go limited be a better solution,only you can decide but £120,000 wont go that far if you start with a bit of land with planning and not even a caravan and even that brings all the agencies in including the local plod who might insist you have a full cctv so as they dont need to attend but can come and view your discs at their leisure as they do just my thoughts
  10. this year a lot worse than the previous 2 customers more picky than ever depended on a loyal customer base but cant afford to do that in 2016 so need to reapraise where im going to go AT been a complete waste of time with ebay doing me more good but is hard work because of all the nutters who contact you expecting discounts unseen what one thing did i learn? to be harder than ive ever been hard before but to still be fair
  11. i think ive been on another of your threads elesewhere but i often go up to your area to nick stock ,somes really good some from say seaham is bad due to corrosion issues the point is you need to assess what you can sell in your town,do not sell what you like ,every time i do this i get bogged down,sell what sells locally even if its crappy micras ok micras arent crappy but the dashboards bring on sleep induced coma
  12. do not sell on auction, trust me ive tried this this past few weeks and all ive got is proper grief. i would suggest sell to trade only and proof of motor trade insurance policy needed and invoice shows this or dont do it,its really not worth the hassle
  13. chevrolet yes see it as the new lada, pitch right and they sell,only problem is dont use ebay to sell it as its not recognised learnt that the hard way
  14. posting the key would get you a clone and its not recommended with this car have you spoken to your ford dealer or see who the local trade use to come to them and have a proper key made with a proper warranty and a quality key cheap keys always cause problems,,last one cost me a big headache and i lost about £145 keys off the internet ready to be cut and cloned are usually made of rubbish metal that splits when being cut,this could split today tomorrow or next month as you are miles from home and ignition jams
  15. some thoughts trade insurance can be a bit hard in this sector these type of cars always bring the people who are perfectionists because a lot of them are into detailing you say you can mechanic? then theres your market, specialise in repairing others faults if you can and you have a niche market anyone can buy cars and hope to sell them,you have a skill so keep to it and maybe sell what you run as an add on or specialise in something you can sell and repair if it does break me? i prefer to keep it simple so anycomebacks are nearly always cost repairable without breaking your banking terms best of luck, one final thought its always best to offer what peiople want rather than what you want so if you lived say in a village of oaps then i would specialise in say i10's
  16. took about 3 weeks when i applied about 25 years ago,i remember because henry kissinger sent me a best of luck with your process card i still find henry easy to deal with
  17. the washing line might come in handy though
  18. i would keep to your original thought but just get the engine serviced straight away,dont scrimp on a paper hanky oil filter and don't scream the rocks out of the engine,see it as your livelihood and treat it like you would hopefully treat a gorgeous woman,that engine will easily rack up over 120,000 miles with no attention to turbos/ chains or wiggly/ waggly things if you take heed old vw fuffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
  19. hi,if you consider the fuel goes to the engine returns goes through the tank then the lines lines then pump then returns again then 15 miles showing as left in tank really is nothing i think your engine went into limp to save the lifters in the pump by default so they dont run dry and seize,remember also running on fumes would pick up any water thats got in the tank over the years put some diesel in see if it needs bleeding at the filter as suggested and cross your fingers the days of running stuff like this on fumes is gone if you dont want a coronary chin up
  20. hi,i only use 0 /40 so its ptotected at both ends
  21. so for the sake of clarity the car is "in trade"? you are taxing in the name of the former owner? or? you are taxing on the new keeper slip? im assuming trade insurer happy about this im assuming you arent worried if it got clamped and hauled to a dvla pound because your cover note wont cover it im assuming this is what roadside traders are doing who arent paying anything like im paying in fixed bills and basically screwing the system i would prefer the mods to remove all this if its correct because i would rather it wasnt on an open forum if its this easy
  22. good engines but need oil changing on schedule
  23. replying to txts (see what i dids then bro) is asking for trouble as you sup your third double wild turkey in yate's ,me ? i leave the phone at home because you just know someones going to ruin your night out anyway thanks for sharing
