  1. let them both turn up together and fight for it like a man (ernie)
  2. ive had a week of nutters im just glad im home couldn't take much more
  3. its probably still on original exhaust and a baffle might have collapsed you dont notice problems like this till 5 miles into a journey just a thought
  4. i had an account with them and used to go probably twice a year for stuff like "we been to bognor" stickers and door lock surrounds that used to get damaged by scroats so im probably thinking 90's?
  5. ive taken them out but forget i think theres a fastener underneath? nasty radios they keep going faulty plus the words wear off its a bluespot so i should be able to do the code if you get stuck after replacing,if just taking out and putting back in it should work without code need
  6. thinners on a lint free flannelette cloth im not buying bulked up stuff to do the same job bit like using t/cut donkey years ago i remember buying mk4 cortinas that had been undrsealed 6 inches up from the sills and taking it all off with copious amounts of thinners/petrol and finding mint paintwork underneath and adding loadsa value
  7. good cars the mk1 i had one ,crap seats though so i changed them
  8. agree might cost £400 in transport but you are in charge no way would i let an unknown garage without a personal recommendation look under the bonnet of something like a l200
  9. Section 75 of the Road Traffic Act makes it an offence for anyone to sell a vehicle that is not roadworthy personally if i was to sell a dangerous car through say ebay i would have some part worns fitted before offering it just to cover my bum
  10. it would appear you are buying the wrong stock at the wrong price then having it delivered this is all wrong i assume? you get someone else to do mechanical work and valeting too? see so many people who do this job half hearted and then give up and a few years later come to me to buy a car,you can tell them a mile off as first thing they do is gun a cold engine,not had one for yonks and hasd one this very week,tried chipping me but i refused him,rather sell to a sensible person so akhtar reappraise your buying decisions work out how much you can add betterment to your product and do as much yourself as you can,get some trade plates and drive the cars back and view other stock whilst at the auction,its easy buying any stock, selling is the important part
  11. hello i won the only thing i see to think i can add is get your paperwork in order read read and read your claimants paperwork highlighting anything wrong write on a seperate paper key points and number them on claimants paperwork keep away from them in waiting room go tidy but no pointy shoes whatever you do take a bottle of water as my throat went very dry within 5 minutes there was water available but just to be sure preparation preparation preparation go to bed early and no alcohol and get their in good time,my court was 30 miles rather than a more local one and i got stuck in traffic and couldnt find anywhere to park
  12. 1001 cleans a big big carpet for less than half a crown of course theres always stardrops for less than a bob
  13. HI andy and welcome ive finally learnt that you can be right with customers and help them till the sheep come home but in todays market they are only interested in the bottom line this market has changed out of all proportion this last 24 months
  14. open an omnipart eurocarparts account and get fliers with mega offers i buy quite a bit off ebay too if you buy in bulk some good deals can be had if youu dont want it tommorrow
  15. that looks really nice but i still dont see the point of a day van
  16. my transit banana did that,i had to have 5 baths to get clean
  17. thank you and well said a customer having extras added free really thinks theyve hit gold and would be back next week because theres an earing dangling noise somewhere
  18. hi mark not trying to tell you how to suck eggs but unless you insisted the car left your premises on a trailer then you would be liable if the person you sold it to got a pull or worse was involved in a fatto,never sell cars with dodgy brakes suspension or bald tyres,nobble the ignition if you have to so itss defo trailer away just elpin........
  19. im sorry but in todays world if i can get an extra £800 im going to go and try to get it ive always looked after customers to the extreme but lets be honest here customers who are honest to us as so minimal these days you can count them in tens i really go the extra hog here but no on this occasion more money is more money end of
