    Extra large teacup.... ..check check Coolant system pressure tester..............................no .....................,might do more damage, really pray tell?***********if the level is correct when the car comes in and shows no sign of overheating during the mot or test drive min 5 miles before offered for sale why would i put the system on a maximum cant take anymore captain check? i wont Scanner........................................yes look for old stored data too..........check.........CHECK CHECK Anti freeze strength tester........................havent got a detractor for oats so just do a physical, buy a proper one then oats is good for 150,000 miles i dont sell anywhere near there so i sleep well Brake fluid tester...................................a multimeter will do this but lets be honest who is going to do a full purge? errr, we do.*********er i sell cars, never done a purge to satisfy a pdi ever Battery, (main and service) alternator and starter motor tester...............i have a drop tester and a modern electronic one but wont use in case i see a problem,modern batteries arent built like old ones and might explode in my opinion.....the battery may explode, why...? if one of the plates has buckled due to being say jump started when it was flat then the last thing i want to do is give it a drop test,what i do is give the battery a good trickle charge if i feel its below par check it at full charge by replacing on vehicle and if it sounds below par next time i start it i change it, its safer and i know it wont let the customer down and i get earache Tyre tread gauge.............if less than 3mm i change, Tyre pressure gaige....proper one not a Michael Mouse one...................got mine from ebay really good quality about £12,dont trust the pcl lines used them enough over the years selling tyre
  3. dogs shite when left so not for me plus they have to be on a chain you can get a good broadband package for £20 a month off vodaphone plus approx £70 hook up to a dead line cctv on ebay is very cheap i use 2 x floureon systems and s/h 500gb hard drives this way i feel they are a fallback safety device you will normally get burgled at 7.30 pm rather than 2 in the morning by the way,no idea why main thing is as said slow them down as much as you can your weakest link is shutters doors where they can be opened in 20 seconds and your glass roof,remember we are talking about people who will happily run over glass to break in and not even consider it might break as they are doing it these people have no care about anything i repeat lots of razor wire on the roof plus a 5kg roll of 6/8 mm mig wire back and forth a thousand times then a few warnings outside to appease the police in case you catch a corpse next morning

    does the stock come from up north? i know someone regularly goes well north for stuff but its one hell of a journey,makes me feel tired even thinking of it,he gets up before he goes to bed i believe thats why letting the train take the strain for £20 notes sounds such a bargain then a leisurely drive down back to Morecambe and have a nice cup of tea mm

  9. £20 a day to insure against 3rd party losses sounds a bargain considering what the OP has told us think about it would you roll the dice if you were looking at the risk well done for getting someone to take you on
  10. wow you send your cars to pre school how many 'O' levels are you looking for
  11. your probably right thinking back but those mk2 fezzies in the 80.s were bad for the crystals
  12. hi mr v this is a car DEALER forum ie you deal in cars one of the prerequisites of being successful is learning applying the knowledge and moving on you say you wont go on the train that smacks to me of arrogance laziness and you just want a quick buck either be professional or go off to moneysupermarket . com forum ,i thank you
