don't even get me started on buyer protection on ebay....i lost £100 to some t**ser selling a pile of junk otherwise known as a peugeot 306 and they found in their favour That was despite emails and other materials confirming the listing was a joke.

Sorry you have had a nightmare there Noel, really p**ses you off doesn't it.

[Nj]

spink - oh yes. makes me go all green and ruin my clothes. he wouldn't like me when i'm angry etc
David - does indeed mate. Could be worse though. The other lad is out 4 or 5 hundred. Hope he pulls the fukker's head off. Sickening now to be back to emailing people asking for prices for the bits i thought i had already paid for. ah well. Can't find a bloody a6 anywhere about here in scrappies.

Any luck with Visa?

If you want a horror story from ebay Karak bought a twin turbo kit and engine for his XR4x4 for £700.

Paid in full but the seller wouldn't respond to arrange collection. A year later ebay wont help and his CC company have refused also... so much for buyer protection!

spink - need a glovebox (my catch was in bits when I got the car), the lock mech - the part that sits on the edge of the door (silver block. door often isn't shutting properly) and the cup holders that fit under the back seat. If you see anything about let me know where. I'd really appreciate it. cheers

sonic - that's just mind boggling. I can't even imagine how that would feel.

bry - was waiting for paypal's answer before going through my visa. I'll be making the call tomorrow and see what they say. not 100% sure since it may not be considered one transaction ( i paid paypal 40 quid, then paypal paid the scammer 40 quid). hmm.

Does he still have the sierra? thought he got rid of it?

[Sonic]

Its been say on the drive for the last year without tax or MOT

We opened it up the other day, wiped the mould from the steering wheel and fired her up. First time without a hiccup - which is why its called "The Tank".

Hopefully Karak will get her back up to scratch so we can get some more track action out of her.

sorry... back on topic.
