Good jesus.......there are some right bronco's out there. Nightmare mate

Welcome back For a private sale i'd say that it is overpriced. Lovely looking motor though

They always used to say - if you leave rubbish outside it'll sit there for weeks. Stick a £10 for sale sign on it and it'll be nicked within 5 minutes by the scrappies who drive around!

Yep same here - called about a Merc in a garage 40 miles away in the morning. Went in the afternoon. Battery flat Tyres flat Dirty as hell Just another reason why I get the impression I can succeed in this industry because so many absolutely useless dealers seem to manage to grind a living out of it by providing literally zero customer service or experience.

Sorry to jump on the bandwaggon but yeah..........all to be expected.

No not really - you just didn't know the unwritten rule. I can see why you would get the hump if you didn't know. He'll only have got on the defensive to be fair to the guy because its so commonplace and I guess you would feel a bit like being accused of stealing if someone took you to task on it.

Yep - my old man was a plumber for years and its very commonplace to accept that the waste material is fair game unless you say otherwise. Same with old car parts - a knackered cat still has decent scrap value but most people wouldn't ask for them back from the garage if they had the cats changed.

At least there will be no frigging moaning that tradelink sharked in and bought it from under someone! Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

Pair of grips?

See now I did feel like it was 'special' after coming from a Z4 but it just didn't excited me. The dervs torque was lovely but then you hit 3500rpm and your smile just drops off your face and you remember that tractors have Diesel engines.

......so they say. Probably some old bloke in a warehouse with a hosepipe and a tub of halfords antifreeze Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

The newer ones definitely feel well put together and the grip off the Quattro is immense. Bizarrely the FWD petrol is supposed to be a better drive though (so I hear). Cheap tax Decent fuel economy Good looking Problem is they just don't quite stir the soul like an mx5 or a zed.

I love 350's I really do but if you spend £510 having that small bit of damage sorted on a car of the zed's age you need your head seeing too! £510 is an outrageous price no matter what cars they work on!

Got another holding email and a ten quid voucher for the inconvenience. Should be in stock after Easter. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

I reckon that's a smart repair job mate. Its amazing what they can do these days if you get a decent one Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

As Dan said obviously you would as youre breaking the law.......as for whether the van is pinging people doing 80 that's another question Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

Corner the market and make a smaller profit on many units.......take the niche market and try to make a larger profit on less units. That's why big companies can be cheap , small companies are expensive and the odd anomaly in between like Sky and Livingstone remain based on a calculated risk.

Oh I thought we were talking about the derv. My mate has the TTS. .....rapid car Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

Eh? 7 seconds 0-60 mate. The Quattro definitely affects the mpg significantly. That said it's still a good car. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

50mpg?! Mate I couldn't even get that on a long run......upper 40's max even when pootling. Mine was 3 years old though

Yep I had the derv Quattro mate (all dervs have Quattro). Very nice motor but the Quattro makes the derv pointless as it's 35mpg at best on combined cycle. The 2l petrol is apparently far more engaging, faster and no ballache of the Quattro. Build quality was patchy.......mine went back a couple of times. In particular the mirror fell off and the entire windscreen had to be replaced, on the Quattro the wheels need 'load balancing' otherwise the car shakes like buggery at 70mph
