I'd get in touch with Trading Standards or Consumer Direct, they should be able to tell you where you stand. Whatever they tell you, pass this information onto the "customer" and PayPal. They may tell you, for example, that it's now the customer's duty to collect the item from the post office. If you've sent the goods to an address given by the customer, and they've then cancelled the payment, that's theft. Or fraud. In either case, he's in trouble.

Is it a member on here? No need to name and shame, just a simple yes/no.

Only just spotted this post. Cheers guys!!! :D

I think it's a trait common to all saloons. The IS300 SportCross, being a hatchbacky-estatey thing, has one.

Worth a shot. I think most LCD displays use a striped rubber strip so connect the glass to the PCB, so squishing it a bit might reinforce the connection. Don't press too hard on the LCD though, or you'll be buying a new one!

Post a review on eBay, hopefully it'll get picked up on the left-hand side when people look on these listings, and will warn people away.

You'll just have to drink it all as they offload it. Mini-meet anyone? :P

Go to www.asda.com

Click "Groceries to your door"

Sign in or click "Take a look" at the bottom

Choose the "Beer, Wine & Spirits" aisle on the left

Choose the "Premium Lager" shelf

Scroll down to "Heineken"

Help yourself to the 20x330ml boxes, at 10p per box (1.5p per litre!)

All the best!

My GS used to do this between 2nd and 3rd (I think) from time to time, the car wouldn't ease off the throttle before engaging gear. Resetting the ECU cleared it.

If I remember correctly it's the EFI and ECTS fuses which are in the engine bay fusebox. Pull them both for 30 seconds, then put them back. If the car then won't start, leave the key in the "Run" (i.e. the normal driving position) for 6 minutes, then try again.

rub it in

As you wish...

My 52-plate rear lights are in a box in the garage 'cos I fitted LED ones. As the LED ones aren't E approved, I'm keeping the old ones in case any MOT testers get arsey about it. And no, I don't want to swap 'em!

According to my brother in law, who is a traffic cop, anything apart from the designated letters and symbols is illegal on a number plate if they wanted to be awkward, including suprisingly the dealer's name that most plates have.

I see the new regulations say any cars after September 2001 are supposed to have the name and postcode of the plate supplier, i've never ever seen a car on the road with that on there plates, has anyone else? There is going to be a lot of MOT failures if that part is adhered to on the MOT test.

The ones on my old Carina:-

Dealer postcode - check.

Correct font - check.

Letters cut out of limo black window tint, so plate is blank under infra-red light - ummm...

I think the tail lights changed in 2001. Mine came with the new ones and it's a 52 plate.

So I get "done" for the £154 when I actually did nothing but was a retailer who fell victim to a attempted fraud.............

So they've charged 6% even though it was refunded! Even PayPal refund their cut when you perform refunds, don't they?

That's shocking. Time to shop around, I reckon, then you can tell WorldPay to f*** off. Try Protx, Google Checkout, Netbanx, Barclaycard Business or Nochex to start with.

It's the SCPH-1002 you'd want. SCPH-1001 is the NTSC version for USA/Canada, runs on 110 volts (and smokes like hell when you hook it to 240!). SCPH-1002 is PAL.

Get a FlashLube kit fitted (look on eBay) and the additive issue goes away.

"i came in that........."

What was he pointing at? Or who? ;)

Bebo's like MySpace, but it seems to be for people who can't spell, and I mean really can't spell!

Ta for reminding me

<fires up eMule...>

The other option is I think there's an optional extra with Clifford alarms (Black Jax i think) which does the same thing, but involves replacing the car's alarm and immobiliser as well and you'll need another key fob so I didn't look into this one much.

Don't need to replace the alarm to fit a BlackJax, it can be used standalone.

Which reminds me, must get round to finishing off the installation of mine!

Spotted on the Caerphilly-Ystrad Mynach road on Sunday evening, light-coloured LX470 (not a rebadged LandCruiser, the front lights were LX lights)

...was it you?

Not got Sky either, so will be downloading the HD AVIs from t'internet, like I did for Season 2.

Toyota. Probably an Aristo :winky:

According to this post it might be 328VV07-86 not 328VV07-8G

Something similar was on Tomorrows World years ago, the tyre consisted of trapezoidal segments bolted to the wheel (shortest side in contact with the wheel, longest with the road). Michelin seem to have taken this and made the whole tyre as one piece.

Bet they'd be a heck of a job to fit, unless the wheels are made of two bolted-together dishes, like tractor wheels.
