  3. i read somewhere that some only cover the blade some good that is if mia drops the keys in her soup
  4. not one for miles round here so while im out someone might nick the kettle
  5. decent people always understand lots of my customers i have to insist on a drive after agreement to purchase those that kick up a fuss rarely buy unless genuinely unsure of your reasons till explained i wont put a sign up though,some of my customers cant read
  6. I had it years ago it was a honda precinct or something anyway lovely african bought it drove it away auto too anyway he rang up next day saying am avin problems man we laughed about it for years if someone ever mentioned it
  7. last time i had an auction in my favour like the OP the auction rang me up asking for their car back or for me to pay the reserve of the vendor i refused but obviously never went back because i knew they would have taken my money next time in the office and told me to do one it was a long time ago though
  8. to add to this for anyone interested i have a customer a good customer who is having a disagreement with a garage regarding a classic car and the repairs not being up to standard they have paid so far £40,000 in repairs this vehicle although they haver been told is, is not even fit for the road my customer has got a solicitor at £100 a letter involved and i was assured this trader wasnt limited i checked online did some delving and find he is ltd and his accounts are overdue ive played hell with my customer and told her to do the same with this solicitor frankly im fuming they have been led up a path that empties bank accounts so there you are all the money in the world and you can still get bad advice this is why i use the school of age knowledge and been there, it might be old school but it still works
  9. it most likely came from ireland but also possibly jersey or isle of man it causes a problem because it wasnt first registered in the uk for the dvla database which insurers depend on it might cause problems for some insurers but not for an independent broker if car good price and sellable it wouldnt totally put me off

  12. im going to look on abay for a big snap off patch
  13. he says he has no spare cash so this could be an issue of course sometimes going to court is a matter of principles principles have caused me a lot of hassle over the years but as michael caine said 'if you aint got peace of mind,what have you got' so there you are only thing is as i said earler the plaintiff might start adding on taxi fares storage road tax unused insurance stress loss of time at work etc etc etc
  14. just burnt a big hole in my free pagid winter coat with my heatgun
  15. once you get the lba you want to be filling all the paperwork in soonest and asking the court for arbitration,if the plaintiff refuses then also ask for an independent inspection of the car to ascertain the reason for rejection,this can cost up to £300 because the court might decide who can inspect if indeed they allow it you can ask the court to have the trial near your home if other party is far away,again depending on backlog this may not happen it can be 6 months plus before you get to court the plaintiff might make a call to trading standards to complain so be ready and have all your amunition at hand trading standards might be a good call anyway once the lba comes so as to ask for their advice
  16. smoothed battery charger no honk konk flues or ones that use a thyristor
  17. no this is the point the money may have been gifted/lent etc the judge will dismiss this if you use this as a defence put it in obviously but only as a point
  18. to add all correspondence to now be done via recorded signed for registered mail with regards nothing to do with father,ignore this im afraid because father might say he lent the funds so it his his case,remember the log book shows recorded keeper not owner (got the t shirt for this one too) you now need to write everything down, times, everything and wait for the lba
  19. at least you dont have to work out if the going is good before you bid or kinda you dont

  23. the customer can insist on what he wants its up to the seller at this stage where he wants to go refund repair ignore like poker you need a good hand ie you hold all the right cards before making a move oh and i know nowt about poker nicely crafted words and succinct the guy isnt stupid is he
