It's me

being an old git i tend to look through the cars on offer rather than cars i would like to buy but are not available i then go through the list and work out if i can make a dolla on anything if i can i then look on autotrader to see what something very similar is retailing for in a 20 mile radious i dont care what spec it is

ive go a hundi eye 10 and this needs 0 /30 low ash i seem to remember and thats what it got,i can just imagine out of all the garages it might go to most would put 10/40 in it semi if it was lucky,so i totally agree with you,customers are as bad as garages ,always going for the ,can you do it cheaper idea ?or worse bringing their own oil in from halfords and it says £34.99 on the tin and its the wrong spec so you put the proper stuff in and tell them the stuff they bought will be aright for their lawnmower for the next 20 years or they can creosote the fence with it

good lad

thats me out then before i had a chance,you dealers are all the same.........................

you bought it you know its a good car you know you can sell it to someone sensible get them gm f d

we use gfm..............it actually means get them fooked off here...........seriously

never thought of that i will ask the wife her opinion

what the all buyers are liers bloke..................let me just think about that one for trident...............shuffles off with his head in his handsssssssssssssssss

you forgot the gunners

go to his house give his wife one problem over take two paper bags just in case

cool i assume trade vet is a part time masochist

does anything come apart anymore,i believe the north star engine started the one life throw it away syndrome

the internet works on thanks ,ive found,just like ebay,...........just saying, .......have you eventried the hard reset i offered but removed but still offered by other members free of charge but now its on a public forum you cant nick one when it shows this fault

when the car sells hold back on sending the new keepers details to dvla for at least a week in case they turn out to be a screamer,ive gone 21st century and do this all online print the confirmation details off attach it to the old v5 that i keep along with my pdi sheets a hpi sheet invoice copy and anything else relevant,this way if anything hits the fan in the next 7 years you have all relevant documentation

quickest way to get interest in a car was always to put sold in it,if i have 2 cars exactly the same i always put sold in one of them otherwise they feel they missed something,you then tell them the car unsold is actually the better car

they are a cracking lump but like so many things these days are built on the edge of their limits,i would only want one with a manufacturers warranty still running,i go back to my post as most people who run cars like these never get them serviced and only get rid when they are advised its on borrowed time

tread carefully if hes suggesting brake failure as trading standards might get involved,i would think for the age mileage it either has a sticky brake that caused the brake problem or because he used the vehicle on a long trip the fluid may have boiled due to being very old,this is the thing with old low mileage cars once they go on a proper run lots of problems occur from weeping hoses to fans failing to tyres blowing out,i too would be wary selling it on a long journey after a pampered life it might be wise to go get it and if you dont want his shitter to work out a deal ie so much knocked off etc or possibly nothing,ignore the get it back to base on the invoice in this case because customers complaining about dangerous cars need action now before their friends advise them down the pub and citizens advice move it up to trading standards...good luck weve all had these problems mine was a mk1 astra 25 years ago the brakes locked on on the a1 as he drove it home,i was there within an hour

maybe this time andymc1973 might thank you guys for going to the trouble of how to usually fix this

so hes hawked it to 50 dealers who said no so now hes trying to offload it to the van market? have you seen the car maybe ill maintained?

yes i went to the closing down sale to buy their recovery truck but it turned out to be a spec lifter i wanted a beaver tail type

33e

more importantly who repaired it what was the damage and has half the dashboard been repaired properly or does it have resisters behind the pad these german cars dashboards go to lithuania/poland for reconditioning i would strongly suggest as its cat s ie structural damage you keep away because this categorisation is less than a year old so it was a high value write off

if you mint the car out of its tree then if its a wanted car rather than suits you sir the first genuine person who has been trawling round pitches for a couple of days breathes a sigh of relief and gives you a sale thing is once minted it only needs a quick wash and a dust out if its still there 4 weeks later mirror image from autosmart goes a long way too

there used to be a ford dealer at seaham and i always seemed to buy a lot of px from them they were proper nasty rusty underneath,maybe you too have been buying coastal cars too,i would always avoid these if i can but obviously its difficult

and just to confirm the above as they are leaving i like to put a pickaxe in their roof
