  1. If it comes to it, refund by same means as payment
  2. When you really get into the French gear, you eventually learn that doesn't seem to be a standard spec anything
  3. Sent the V5C off.....why would she do that Refund her. What do your terms and conditions say about rejection?
  4. Just been thru, I gota say Halogens with PIR are, in experience, way more reliable than PIR LEDs, both mains and solar. Shame because the solar powered ones work great and, soooooo easy to install but, last a year, usually 6 months....maybe my bad luck.
  5. Yup, old trick, still works though, mad as it seems
  6. Shaving prices won't help (unless massively incorrect) maybe the wrong colour, wrong spec, wrong wheels, wrong box etc. Customers are becoming more fickle
  7. Without stating the obvious.....but I will. .....anything VAG or Bavarian
  8. Well.....I do know of a Polish guy back in Brighton who sold a Passat on a dark winters evening. Passats were his stock in trade. .... took full payment then, the following morning swopped the nice interior out of it only to put in a really tired one back in its place...same colour though and cloth for cloth. Customer 'sort' of noticed but thoight he must of missed it.....and got away with it
  9. Still miss Tony from BCA Enfield and also did Paddock Wood. ... had some crackers and in later years always tried to work out (and odten fail) the yearly average on the low miles gear with help from his audience. "more 'istory than the Tower Of London boys" "handful of owners" A real gentleman too, retired a few years back.
  10. We live in a touristy bit of Norfolk. Was talking to the wife and friends (4 of us!) about the current crop of visitors this year, seems ours is the worst on record too with regards courtesy, manners and driving habits too....must the dreggs that usually do the rougher parts of the Costas I guess and I thought I was bad
  11. Best of luck sir, you sound well 'sound' enough to do well.
  12. I wonder if the great unwashed mask less brigade are those likely to ask for "waz ya bst pryce 4 kesh m8"on initial contact..... I reckon there's a correlation there to be found I mean, there's a lot I don't agree with and a mask isn't a panacea but, common sense goes with wearing a mask. I've been reasonably lucky with punters lately, only had three with mask wearing issues. .....a district maternity nurse, a carer for the elderly both proper tattooed up munters and a young male copper go figure. The copper did wear one when asked, the others were of a don't give a fuck attitude which was worrying.
  13. I wouldn't want to owning chunks of commercial office property at the moment.
  14. I think this should one be posted on the Magic Circle forum ....JLR's current wiring make 60's Lucas Prince of Darkness look top notch, without the addition of a dose of saltwater. Best of luck with though
  15. BHM touched on this months ago.... ..... .a simple use of the search function may of brought this to light..... Covid probably It's odd isn't it. Because we are all with the automotive 'bubble' where its a case of 'no grafty, no payee' and, things seem relatively normal, once you step outside of this 'bubble' it's amazing just how many aren't working, just how many services have restrictions on them.
  16. Luckily not 67 ..... there were two plate year tags from memory 1/67 was E reg', then 8/67 was F reg....hence the amount of E reggies was half the normal amount.
  17. My sdvice would be stay away from sub 5k gear.....the punters will suck your will to live Best of luck, you obviously have the balls or you wouldn't be starting up the business what with Covid situation.
  18. Got to say, they were alway poverty spec but, never had a bad one.
  19. A plastic one at that too, guys a wrong ern, walk away
  20. Dark green MOD Astras st Bedford, ahh the memories
