So I'll be posting them back to a scammer at an unknown address and *hoping* they give me a full refund, postage is at my cost for some unknown reason, and I'll be back at square one.

I dont think i'd wanna post them back...

Bassad scrapyard being shut.
That scrap grasser will now be here til just before xmas bahahahahahahaha

Iain, what's up with the bodies? If you have a partial refund why not send them to Jenvey for a health check and rebuild? They probably need it anyway.

If you do send them back don't skimp on postage, Proof of sending wont be enough in a case like this, they will want proof of delivery so use RM special delivery.

What bits are missing? jenvey have awesome customer service! I was missing 2 of the mini ball joints from the linkage and both fuel rail mounts and they sent me them for free, didn't even want postage money. Ive also heard of other sernarios where people have got free parts from them. Give them a try, you never know!

Its the throttle linkage costing 100 quid, be an epic freebie that. Its not the fact I need them it's the fact he's trying to rip me off.

Some ****ers having a jolly old time with my bank account luckly the bank twigged early enough and they only got 180 quif out of me!

Ive got to start checking my account and buy a shredder ffs

Council has decided now is a good time to dump tons of salt on the road. It's been pissing down like mad for days on end ffs!

I could live with that, so I paid up... :tard:

...but being the suspicious prick that I am, I called the bank and inquired about the real reason for them not accepting his proposition. Turns out he was telling porkies and had not done his homework. In fact, his calculations were riddled with grave mistakes to the point it was just funny.

Anyway I am going to get my money back (shouldn't have paid in the first place, you know what they say about hindsight and that) so watch this space. Incompetent imbeciles. And this was not the first one - over the years we've had 4 so-called mortgage experts going through our paperwork, all promising miracles and they all failed miserably at our expense. They're *******s, the lot of them. :mad:

---

Sent the mortgage advisor an email about 6 weeks ago. Got a phonecall in which he promised to refund the €295 I paid him. As of yet: NOTHING. Needless to say I've sent him a little reminder. Tosser.

Man flu, second day in now.

Trapped sciatic nerve

oooohhhh.... i hope you get better quickly, they can hurt

Folding shovel? So there's some truth to the 'murdering prostitutes' joke on Top Gear.

Perhaps its to fling sh1t at rival companies lol

ok, we've all done that in our time.... but when you have to stop for a tacho break in the middle of nowhere, or an overnight on an industrial estate etc.... burying a poo is quite useful...

I am so glad I never have to make a hole to bury my poo lol .

I now have a s**t roll in my car now just in case ;) no more sore bum lol

Losing my garage where I store the Spider :(. Got to find it a new place to hide ASAP.
Got 4 weeks notice from the council, tossers!

The council take the piss at everything mine and my mums garages are both leaking so we been on to the council about it and 3 months later they are coming tomorrow to look at them what a joke mine is that wet I got to put a cover over my golf and bikes .

Tell me about it i live in a flat and my garage is wet cos the one next to mine is knackered it leaks through the wall. Ive mentioned it countless times and nothing done still. Smells of mushrooms and all my tools and car bits are damp.

Being owed October and Novembers wages :mad: October is now 2 months late and he wants me to work for him next year :wtf:.

I ve had to put my tools in my car to keep them clean and dry its a joke and the back of my garage has mushrooms growing on it makes me fill sick just looking at them .

Know what you mean it winds me up seeing your tools and parts being ruined by moisture. Garages should be water tight.

So the other day they came out to fix the problem said they done something to the roof ok so I wipe all the wet bits in the garage dry .
last night it rained so went to the garage today and still the same but even more I ant even going to pay for the garage now I going to look for one for rent or some were so I can store my car so pissed.

And tonight the sky box keeps going off

Can't you get someone out Dave to give you a second opinion, if you get them to put it in writing of maybe the faults they find then send that to the council with your disapproval and see what they say... Probably pisssing in the wind though I suppose.

Could do but it just takes the piss that it take about 5 months for them to come out I am just thinking might just use it as a garage for car parts to store because I am going to get cars that fail mots or engines that are no good and strip them and sell them in parts but I really want my golf in a well dryed stored place .

Most builders give free quotes so call one close to you to come quote repairs say you need it in wrighting then submit thst to them or do what I did bite the bullit fix it yourself

Get loads of expanding foam in the roof Dave, that should fill the gaps in, or are you liable if you mess around with it?

I have already put expanding foam in all the cracks and gaps but still getting water drip from the place it come from and well I might give some people a call and see what they say.
I ant fixing it don't see why I sod pay for it already pay £20.00 a month for the wet thing

Council are useless here too with the lockups. I have 2 one is perfect never any water in it etc the other one the hinge in the door is goosed so if I open it fully it's an absolute mare to close it again and it's damp. Not the best when they're £12 a week each. I'm currently waiting for another one to pop up.

That's what I am after a nice size lock up that is bone dry and safe were I can put my golf and tools.
I have to start looking tomorrow my garage starting to get that wet I have had to take the car cover of as its making it sweat tho

Waiting for a welding mask to be delivered for 3 weeks finally had to ask for a refund after two have apparently been sent out, now to wait for the refund.

people in general **** me off, that is all lol

a reinforcing steel company that was open today, with a full complement of staff, but they wouldn't sell me 12 sheets of mesh & 6 re-bars... a job that would take all of 5 minutes for a bloke on a forklift to do, and add £500 to their takings..

reason...... well it is the last day before we finish for xmas.....

i'm never dealing with those idiots again.
