  1. Just a heads up. Selling cars is retail no matter which way you spin it, no avoiding CRA-2015. Spares or repair and trailer away maybe less painless....no test drive, no MOT certificate handover etc.
  2. Just like fishing......if no fish about doesn't matter how big your bait
  3. It is dependent on where you live
  4. If using online just a few seconds before expiry of MOT. Just out of curiosity are you are selling as spares or repair?
  5. Good shout FRVs, used to sell a few of these, good old buses, drive well, proper old school Honda build. .... rot like a 70's Sud though
  6. £40 for an airbag.....you have my interest Mark
  7. I thought it was just me that noticed the heavy german gear isn't finding buyers.
  8. Very quiet here. ....apart from me playing lots of disco on the stereo, love it
  9. CRV, Sorrento, Santa Fe, forget the German tat unless you like bills
  10. Do you want a job sir How about ABS light....? A ll B rakes S erviceable?
  11. I should try that one for TPS error on my CRV
  12. Or like the lady last week trying to tell me the EML being illuminated meant "everything was ok with the engine"....mine was off so apparently had a problem worthy of a £700 discount and "take a chance" .....FFS I thought I'd heard it all but, the Joe Public will never cease to amaze me
  13. But, the auction houses don't dictate available stock. It's driven by new and/or nearly new main agent sales and, they are as flat as a witches tit. Defleeting didn't drive prices down either.
  14. "can you guarantee, it won't break down in the next three years...?" I had a "can u say this car will nefer do less than 40 miles as I ave to comoot 350 miles ery week n kneed to no my xpensis" this week too....I don't what shocked me more, the question or the ladies spelling ka...boomm (no pun intended) ....as they say around these parts "don't talk it up"
  15. I cant see anything to stop someone picking the phone up bar being silver which is kiss of death for me, shouldn't hurt a Merc though?
  16. Bung some Osram Night Breakers in there, welll worth the money. Forget anything LED, waste of money and even the 501s don't last. Also....if like myself you have poor night vision anyway (years of smoking) fit some yellow tinted bulbs in there, the colour contrast really helps at night.
  17. From my old Ford R&D moles...and yes, I had to question the figure but, was assured 100% correct. Supposedly cost to manufacturer a 1.0 litre, out of the door, is just a shade under £300....£278 from memory, that was a few years back....volume manufacturing is staggeringly economic.
  18. Was offered a px 1.0 Ecobroke 2015 with 100k up it this week, lovely nick, all the history but, bottled it. Drove fine, sounded fine but...... Problem, as I see it, is simply that the coolant sensor is located too high in the engine and, just ends up measuring air not coolant when the engine springs a leak....similar to Stag, Dolly Sprints n TR7 for the old farts amoungst us
