I had my VW Touareg on auto trader for £X and got lots of "I can collect it today for £half X " and other similar crap. I just deleted them although I did go back to a couple and said "to you its £2x" ... then you get the "I'll be round at 4pm to look at it" and then never show. A mate of mine was flogging his Volvo and 2 guys showed up, one asked to see the MOT history so he went inside to get it and saw one of them squirting something around the engine bay as he came out again. They then said "you got an oil leak mate, we will give you £halfX". Turns out the even put some in the rad expansion tank. You can get MOT history up on your phone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 12 hours ago, MooN said: spent yesterday wondering if Pedro was going to come far enough east for me to ride out and meet up for a drink / feed. Didn't get nearly close enough yesterday and it's too late today now ( cos I know where he wants to be tonight and it's too far away for my knackered old frame to ride in one go.) Shame, but there it is. Sorry dude, thought we’d make it but we just ended up going slower and taking longer because of the weather and slow getting out of the UK. Plus there’s a time limit to get back home. I am loving being on a bike here so will make it back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted October 9, 2025 Share Posted October 9, 2025 I have spent a couple of hours cleaning rust off of the scoots centre stand and frame where all the road crud is flung and collects, looks much better, I will give it several coats of paint of £ shop rattle can paint, the wheels getting ready for a repaint too, but that's for another day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted October 9, 2025 Share Posted October 9, 2025 spent much of today ( and most of last night) on the phone with daughter No.2b who is massively unhappy at uni the other side of the country ( lucky that walking around with a phone to my ear is normal practice at work) I also have man flu so am obviously at death's door. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted October 11, 2025 Share Posted October 11, 2025 12 minutes ago, Marcel said: Like I've stated....sure ain't gonna work on it if its any warranty work that has to be done on it...I didn't pay 23 hundred dallors for and extended warranty for nothing...I plan to get all my money worth and more...lol...they sure aint gonna make money off of me...lol. Im thinking right this moment I've recouped my money already with what they did....windscreen bushings, they put in a fresh fuel pump...I guess it was out of spec...and i guess that water pump seal is a labor intensive job...replaced all fluid with a fresh oil change... Sounds like Friday afternoon special. Good choice on the extended warranty though. I don't blame you for getting them to do the work, I wouldn't trust you to change a park plug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
