  1. thats the little bugger, last one i had made a loud clicking noise when you remove the feed to it the noise went away. yuck did i mention i hate these things.
  2. Second for the evap system heard a purge valve make similar noise before. Vile things
  3. Trust me the grass isnt greener over our side.
  4. In that case change accountants earlier rather than later save yourself a load of headache and possible surcharges
  5. Third shout for a george takes a kicking but keeps on going, the wet van nozzle is brill to see if the dirt has been removed.
  6. Sorry to here of your troubles casper my nan had the same illness its brutal and a very underrated illness.
  7. Right on my doorstep when they say they do radio they do radio its almost every other song on any local station.
  8. That come from a vat registered supplier. (obvious i know but you would be amazed how many people make this mistake)
  9. Normally i would 100% agree i am a die hard growth fan, units profit margin advertising everything gets a microscope over it, however i cant see how you can possibly draw a parallel with 2019, we where closed open closed half open didnt know if we where open or closed half the time plus a lot of businesses benefited from grants and the option to borrow large amounts of money that might not have been available before ect just way to many factors to try and say we did ok or didnt. For me if your still trading healthy and have the option to continue trading your doing well.
  10. Sod 4x4 I would be looking at a nice a4 or 320 estate far better car for your money and almost just as much space, you would get far more for your money as well.
  11. We have a list of cars to watch for the coming week updated with late entries daily, it often happens that we have a car on our list so we have printed off all the advert and any report for safe keeping made all our notes ect, as auction houses lie through there teeth after the event. and quite often when the car comes up for suction the car in question has no pictures must be a computer glitch I rub my hands with glee as they always go a lot cheaper than they should have. sadly there is no pattern to this it’s just pure luck.
  12. I had one last week, guy wound me right up so I told him if your in the trade why you trying to buy a car at retail of me ? dodged a bullet guy was a right donkey
  13. This virus is a first for everyone no one has ever seen anything like it, for me i try to look at what went on last time in the auctions, for example first lock down BCA closed there doors and everything went on line and the prices went into outer orbit. This time is a little unclear as to if your can open or not Wales we where told to close and that was that thankfully for only two weeks i have plenty of viewings booked for the 9th onwards already. If prices do take a dip which i cant see i will be there waving my virtual hand in the air
  14. What does the garages estimate say ? Any mention of surface corrosion on previous mot’s it’s how you deal with these people makes all the difference instead of saying get lost just say I am very sorry and somewhat confused the car in my expert opinion was spot on but I am happy to look at the garages detailed report and we can go from there, I might need a second opinion in a garage I use but we will cross that bridge later. nine times out of ten there in the wind.
  15. If you can bid live then bid live you can sometimes gauge the activity and hold back for the bids to drop to £100,s or £50,s risky but thats the game we play. I am not a fan of proxy bidding, love the ups and down of dam i paid to much for that or the sinking feeling that no one bid have i missed something and bought a lemon, the joys there arnt any.
  16. The odd thing about this fault seen it many times myself (never again) is the car seems to run fine with the light on.
  17. In my opinion nothing is automatic apart from there invoicing out system. That’s a nasty repair I held out for my last claim as the roof was dented in four places they said hang on with your claim I will see if the vendor will offer anything for you to keep it which they did in all fairness £50!! I didn’t even put up a fight clearly a waste of breath just ended the call with come and get it ..
  18. I agree with mark second hand one all day, we have a very good guy local to us but he is always flat out covering battered old transporters seats.
  19. Auction houses again ? in march when the first lockdown hit prices went through the roof
  20. I don’t use Autotrader but you have to ask how on Earth can you expect any advertising platform to know you have put a fancy wax on
  21. Defo this plus a lot of smaller dealers have opted to offer free delivery nationwide so we are now competing even more with dealers up and down the country. Digital foot print is more important now than ever.
