Tony Davis Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 And back at the starting point what have we all achieved ? Nothing I suspect Actually I have found some of the posts here very informative and would have helped me had the dealer not supplied the items as described. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Davis Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have tried telling them that and even suggested a game of "Eye Spy" but it's always "Cat" or "Tree" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2015 We've learned that if you want to con half the members of this forum then selling a wreck of a car with a full service history is a storming way to do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Trouble is finding a wreck of a car with a FSH. Very few and far between. You would be hard pressed to find one or two, let alone enough to con half of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted July 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 29, 2015 You don't use air con even if fitted? Bit weird. Hi Not weird at all. I find it causes me to have a dry throat and sneeze a lot therefore I don't use it. Cheers Paul My car has AC but I use it sparingly otherwise the fuel consumption is terrible.

Tony Davis Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Just seen the dealer I bought this car from has been jailed for 27 months for fraud, apparantley he used multiple customers details to apply for fiance on one car - looks like I had a lucky escape! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold wombatofludham Posted June 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2018 I wouldn't be without the air conditioning. Living next to the sea when it gets hot it's like being in a bain marie with the humidity off the scale. One night when it was sultry I was driving back to Fairbourne and I couldn't understand why despite me setting the a/c to industrial flash-freezing setting the windscreen was misting up. I thought it meant the a/c was on the way out, until I flicked the windscreen wiper to find that the a/c had chilled the windscreen so much it had caused the windscreen to fog up on the outside. Luckily I have an excellent local garage on the edge of the village who are very good at maintaining my Saab 9-5 estate which was bought second hand from an independent Saab specialist in Hythe in Kent. Not the most fuel efficient vehicle but the Swedish State Barge as it has become known does shift when I want it to (must admit to liking burning off chavvy BMW drivers at lights when I quietly drop the auto-box into Sport mode) and I have to say it's been a good buy and should see me out. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Davis Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 That car is long gone, we took it for a service/MOT (to a different garage) and on the forecourt was a Freelander 2, so we negotiated and got that, instead. We also checked all the paperwork too, before parting eith our hard-earned. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
