  1. dodgy 20's are doing the rounds near me every business has been stiffed i hear so that rules out cash wonder what barter would be like maybe a week in tenerife for this old ka
  2. my fear with online bidding is the hex details are kept on every transaction whether you win or not and they can work out to a shoe size how much you might be willing to bid up to so the system takes you there did man land on the moon really by the way
  3. match you and see you sold a car before christmas,car in my business name car driven all the way down to kent (its somewhere south apparently) anyway it got pulled by plod on the m25 no tax,i had given a copy of the road tax receipt so they were let on their way,a week later i got a fine for the dartford queeny bridge for some silly figure like £90 but seeing as i was a first offender if i paid the dart charge of £2.50? they would let me off the rest,i filled the forms in photocopied my invoice to prove the car had sold that morning at 11.32 am i sent it recorded delivery checked they got it and a week later got a darty thankyou letter,i phoned the customer in the meantime they thanked me and paid the dart charge so the moral of the story is always keep everything in triplicate and your road tax receipt in the car or on your phone how do these gumtree private traders deal with this kind of stuff who just make confetti out of their paper trails???????????
  4. i only bought it because it looked mint walking round it now ive found my plates on it thing is i never like buying cars back ive previously owned because i feel like its poking the pig anyway it seems ok
  5. I call it double minting mint it out its tree walk away walk back mint it again then you know first genuine person to see will never find better, indeed they have been looking for ages, so unless they really arent in the position to proceed ie they need their mums hand, you have a sale
  6. mazdas from this era used old moggi minor steel from the jam buttie mines you have assessed underfloor corrosion i hope do i value it? nope soz
  7. as i understand block exemption is being updated in brussels at the mo which is why manufacturers are rushing through this blocking device, i understand its to do with vehicle security and driving cars remotely but as said its the thin edge of the line if they get away with it these cars are 1 year old already how will you feel when you buy one via internet get it delivered and cant comm with it ive also read about the tool to get round it
  8. just to update this i see the delphi can read the codes ,so thats something to remember if i ever buy one can it do an actuation if putting a s/h powers steering setup? up ie can it put the value to zero? i ask because certainly on the old 2b punto you often needed to do this or the steering could pull to one side in the straight ahead position,im assuming this is what the op is asking ie older punto rather than grande? my multiecuscan was for guidance if you go to the guy who writes it ie yani? it used to be €50 for the programme then you buy the leads off ebay for £20 it does fiat alfa and chryslar its a good tool very in depth
  9. Ever heard of one of these? No Me neither,now fitted to fiat and Chrysler2018 onwards in the USA and some in the UK means you can't communicate with the car via eobd or your machine might go into meltdown,
  10. There was an earthquake in Blackpool the other week Just say in...........
  11. Willing to help but come on just use Google search
  12. How will you do the hex if you can't find the article? Ps just put the quoted number into ebay and its about hit 12 You will need a dedicated computer with internet turned off all the time and probably running Windows xp 32bit and fully updated to get the best out of these things To op this won't do your fiat steering you need multiecuscan for that.Look to gendan for guidance of what's needed
  13. It really depends on whether the proletariat have fuelled the Lear already One knows
  14. That's a sure sign I'm getting old but I still look at milf That's for excounciljobsworth
  15. Nothing new for me next year,I'm just going to carry on being the great person I already am
  16. Unfortunately its drugs Seen it so many times They flip a car but think flippingdrugs is easier quicker and obviously more profitable,then they start trying the product and their lives collapse
  17. Well seeing as you asked twice I wants me monies back seez
  18. Always good to dig a little deeper i.e. do a company check its surprising how many businesses are zombie ones so just because they are established doesn't mean a jot, anymore
  19. The thing with these adas systems is you are depending on them being set up correctly,how many bodyshops have the equipment,not many is the answer,I think its autowindscreens that have the most,its about three grand to buy the gear but that's where it begins,most cameras are behind bits of car that easily get damaged by everyday driving
  20. I have 5 all in. all run 32 gb as opposed to as 64as these seem to corrupt easier,I feel naked without one and unfortunately do have the title of having a vehicle broken into and the device stolen I use them purely to keep my insurance hopefully lower in a claim situation and honestly don't even think about them on whendriving
  21. If it had a car trader before but is now empty then you have to ask why? It's usually because its too dear no walk on trade or its reputation is real bad in the area If it was any good another trader would be there and you wouldn't know it unless you realised the cars had changed
  22. I'm sorry but who in their right mind would buy from currys
