That ebay seller is stupid :roll: The pics you actually want to see are smaller than avatar size and biggest ones in of the boot... When you buy a car, are you really bothered about the boot.

Thought not.

The cost depends if you do it yourself or get someone else to do it. It could only need a small pipe...or a complete pipe rebuilt.

Well, if your spelling and grammar is the same as your mechanical skills, i don't think you will be able to do them :wink:

They aren't that hard - just need to know what you are doing and practise is good.

I have recently fully repiped a Citroen CX in an afternoon.
Good Luck :P

Stupid in more ways than one, the auction ends on Tuesday and the tax runs out on monday night :evil:
I've made contact with the seller and negotiating to buy this car, but so far it's proving very difficult. :(

Decided not to persue this one due to a lack of communication, like trying to get blood out of a stone :evil:

Pity because if the car is OK and doesn't sell in the auction it'll probably end up in the yard.

If I'm trying to sell something and I have a potential customer, I try to be helpful and give them as much help and information as I can. :?

It's the only way Ken. However when I see eBay listings like that I usually keep away. If they haven't the nous to type decent descriptions or post decent pictures then they are usually hiding something.

Even worse when they don't get back to you because they are obviously hoping you'll just bid anyway and end up buying it.

Frugg: quality post Sir, I often wonder if Jacksun is just a bad attempt at a wind up merchant.

Car went for £104, considerably less than the £250 I offered for it.

Another bright spark ebay seller. ](*,)
