  1. Scrap the car and run for the hills How did you manage to get it unclamped if not In your name and not on the mid on your trade policy And why would an untaxed car be on the road So many questions and so little time
  2. Stock just gets worse and worse, used to be tyres and pads, now even interiors are deeply dirty, old scratches have been left to fester,glass with scratches so deep from worn blades they must be deaf, clutches never adjusted, wheels out of this world, I suppose the best one is where there's something wrong mechanically that you just wonder how the hell they drove the thing
  3. Finding stock is the problem, selling it is easy
  4. It's not going to go away unless they crash it so buy the thing back and get a proper diagnostic done, the light only comes on for a reason so there will be data held to guide you unless it's got an aftermarket stereo fitted and this is affecting the can bus
  5. I totally agree with this but the caveat as always Is Do I need them more than they need me I was undersold a car from an auction many years ago, their mistake so I refused to pay the extra, I couldn't return because it had been totally got ready for retail I literally had to ban myself as I knew they would have got their money when I bought my next car and went to the counter Place went downhill after I stopped going and I moved on but I did like the place and they did look after me So there's no winners really, pity bca are so Intransigent though
  6. Is it a blip? Sorry been away
  7. You do a chart for each and every bail out Then work out the least grief option Then keep to this plan And learn Then do the same again tomorrow
  8. If the battery is flat flat be very wary ie do not jump start it but put a fully charged proper battery on it before you do anything or you might well cause modules to go corrupted Basically unless you are nicking it I can't imagine buyers are queuing up behind you First question why was it parked up? death in family or unable to afford the running costs etc
  9. Bigger picture this anarchy never gets sorted properly in the courts because of woke judicials

    DVLA

    Up till this week I would have praised dvla for the promptness of everything this last twelve months but for the last 5 days I've attempted to web chat where a log book is and every day it shut me down saying too busy, I'm finally in a queue now Update Never received by dvla so reapplying now Doh......
  11. Good, nice to see things like this get a happy result I use the app Total car check It's really quick and accurate and free, have a look everything's on it once they have an email address
  12. One word Homework Remember all buyers and sellers are liers
  13. Can anyone tell me what a customer looks like please
  14. I like the bit where its suggested a certain person did ok Haven't had time to read it all yet but thanks for the link
  15. As its been stood 2 years I would suggest a full strip down and rebuild followed by a complete bleed of the system, you will then find if its a proper pedal or a master cylinder/abs issue,.
  16. Well I've looked at the holesale and have to ask in my best Alfie voice What have they got then that manheim havent, and it seems they are younger than manheim So whats it all about............ Enter cilla black and the dog.... 1966
  17. Are you saying that a car has been registered to your friend unbeknown to him? If the answer is yes then the police need to be informed, this happens a lot where expensive cars are registered to known name and address in an affluent area so they can be insured reasonably and without causing a red flag so there's no ping on police anpr, usually by drug dealers and or gansters
  18. 24,000 mile aygo 68 plate, we serviced it today and although we always do a complete brake strip down on each and every vehicle this was going to have discs and pads anyway as they looked rough once we looked underneath, haven't seen a missing pad in over 30 years, absolutely frightening and this govt want extended mot, s, how many cars do you do an mot check on before purchase and they have advisories year after year for pads then discs and pads then a gap and pads etc etc, not to mention there's a pair of skids on the front classed as low
  19. Make sure the site you pick can be found via Google maps and satnav Remember walk ons are basically much lower these days and I find are usually older generation who aren't tech savvy You need to check that you can put 10 cars where you want them and not have objections and parking problems, if using an industrial type site be sure to do your homework in relation to other tenants parking noise rubbish and the lease might include full repair, and on leaving a full repaint, so it might be worth considering going Ltd just in case it all goes pear June is always quiet So is july So is august Best to just stay in lanzerote these 3 months and have another beer
  20. my Internet has got worse since it went up in price last month I'm sure we are being played somewhere
  21. they always did private as I remember, my beaf was it was a cheaper advert than a trade advert and we went to the office and supplied our own photos or used the stock photos auto trader had in the office then we got bigger and an agent came with her Polaroid, she was always late and even when every word and everything was in place we still found errors, this caused us to be given a credit but credits don't sell metal,, then we went super super posh and used a block advert where we just had all the cars and no photos, that worked really well as people liked to have choice I've always specialised thanks TV I agree it was much better back then getting to the newsagent to buy the trader as it was dropped and ringing private buyers up before 7.00am saying you wanted to buy their car because unbeknown to them it was too cheap now it's Facebook marketplace for bargains, not for me though I hate dealing with people still in their Jim jams on an afternoon
  22. not so lazer focused today I see
  23. I put chrome number plate surrounds on them often just to give them a bit of magpie bling,surprising how dog nob red can sell if its priced right
  24. I couldn't afford a cazoo as a kid so I used my comb and a sheet of izal
  25. yes I had a lady yesterday refusing to get in a green car, she called it a big bogey
