STATIONERY!

VAT will have been included in the parts prices from his supplier. You have only saved VAT on his £472 labour costs. = £94.40

Why does the subframe price state £1095 in the "rate" column, but only £930 in the price I paid?

They're Alfa bolts, tightened precisely using overpriced tooling.

Good job you have loads of money

I bet the car's not worth that much.

Yes of course it is.

We Buy Any Car must have made a mistake at £1,700 then.

Mind I suppose it is really worth £3,900 now with the £2,200 you have spent on it.

Yep - but they don't know where you live.

Easy enough to follow him.

And in America, you can easily look that up.

And why would you care if people knew your reg and your address?

It is worth about the same at a 5 year old Fiesta.

It must be the only car where a component on it is worth more than the enti re machine.

Every time I go along a residential street I see cars in driveways no one covers their number plates. I don't understand how connecting a car registration to an address is helping criminal activity.

judith once said that he would report my reg number to Humberside plod in connection with hanging around school entrances, drug deals and ram raiding.

How does that apply to hiding a link between your reg and address??

Mike

There are enough mad people on the Internet that it is not wise to provide any clues as to your address.

I saved loads today as I fitted this badge all by myself.

It's more likely that they just use an air-powered impact gun on wheelnuts and suspension bolts. Everyone else seems to. And then finish off with an extra heave on a bar about 3 feet long 'to be sure, to be sure'.

According to the A + A invoice.

Does the car have a tracker and immobiliser ?.

Tyres On The Drive used one, sheared off the wheel bolt and it costs me ? ?350 for a new hub as they couldn't get it out.

It is NOT in Hull - this is the correct address.
