  3. you can just as easily get robbed or mugged trading from premises
  4. last time i went for a drink there and looking at google maps it looks the same now the 'pennyweight' they were fighting as a usual pastime on a saturday night between soldiers and civilians,its the only time in my life ive seen someones throat slit in full technicolour
  5. have you tried turning it off and on again
  6. were not here today gone tomorrow were here today gone tonight
  7. how can you work your profit margin out if you haven't put a fresh mot on it? on another note ive just been checking mot histories and what i know was an advisory is now showing on the dvsa website as in red and showing as dangerous
  8. go for it now can i supply your stock is very good tu you buy tlade ps you sound like a production company scout looking for ideas for another worthless 23 minute programme between advert breaks just sayin
  9. everyman and his dog wants these though because they are seen as minimum spend required prior to retail so silly money paid by the boys with cheque books you are best finding a niche
  10. i use an indy my motto is use him or lose him he does a proper job,never ever had a problem and hes good on prices,i dont get him to do bullseyes though its a closed shop trying to purchase windscreens trade,they wouldnt deal last time i enquired
  11. been all discs and pads its got to the stage i now buy off a seller on ebay as they are much cheaper than all the factors quality is good too i hate mucky ingrained cars,especially vauxhalls but im a vauxhall free area so no worries there used to nick loads of puntos with seized alternators
  12. good pictures nice advert youve shown the seat and offered an answer only negative is the colour its always a love hate thing people either love it or loathe it im a bumble bee fan but the cars not for me,too many nightmares of cars that want to fight me and often win stick in there

  14. i dont buy anything mechanical from euro i know that andrew page are now owned by them but i trust pages to sort a problem out if it happens and never recall a luk clutch problem
  15. there used to be a team that went to the block early and disconnect the bonnet cables on the good cars that came from the local agents,i soon realised this too so either outbid them or made them pay more than they wished to
  16. business near me has been totalled twice in 10 years now because of their intransigent attitude we all have windows of some kind
  17. my receipts clearly state airconditioning is not sold as working on my cars, only sign if you accept this,irrespective of whether it works or not theres too many consumables involved and a regas rarely sorts the issue it just creates long term problems 92.5% of my customers tell me it wastes petrol and they dont use it anyway so the other7,5% could find an alternative supplier,ive never ever lost a sale for this and never had txts phone calls notices of intended court actions really cant understand the issue its a second hand product and cannot be seen as new,the detail is in the invoice
  18. just like autotrader, anybody heard of them all the independant dealers are just voices in the wind and can be ignored this is why unions were started so the common people the plebs have a voice im anti union always have been because they usually overplay their hands brothers but the site umesh and his comrades set up would go some way to being a voice of the people if it had on board all independent dealers but when you go down the road to another dealer who tells you his p/x that he doesnt deal in is a peach a steal and you buy it only to find on the journey back it drives like a three wheeled trolley jack and half the switches dont work then as trade vet says you just have to understand you are in the risk business ive bought 2 stinkers this week but at the end of the day i know i will make profit as everything is fixed in house i never reblock
  19. i would suggest bank 2 sensor 1 would be the pre cat sensor nearest whichever end ford have the engine ie usually number one would be the nearest to the timing belt of course if both lambdas could be got out without jarring them and breaking the internal heaters you could swap the two uppers over and see if fault moved across to bank 1 sensor 1
  20. Unless your signed receipt clearly has written in it that a sale can be undone then if you were to refund without the customers agreement it would be a breach of contract you could be held liable for any reasonable costs incurred for them to source a replacement vehicle a colleague used to ring them up and tell them they had found chassis damage from an unrecorded bump this would scare your customer off he used to do it because someone else had seen the car and had offered the full asking or more he's still in the job, but i wouldnt buy a jack handle off him
  21. i took the mirrors off my lambretta and never looked back since
  22. looks like mot station details are being reinstalled,good https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/693916/dvsa-vt20-mot-test-certificate-new-design-no-defects.pdf
  23. we are still in the eu all you would need is proof the car originated and was first registered in the uk so you dont need a stiffcat like you would from say the isle of man not sure about the domain issue but i would have thought as soon as dad stepped into the uk and was to domicile here then a british log book to help the authorities would be to their benefit as then they can charge you road tax
  24. the block exemption was supposed to stop this
