General Car Chat / E Bay

« on: 15 August 2009, 10:47:26 »

Here's a question .
I bid for and won and item on E bay.The item didn't cost a lot but is car related ,valuable ( to me ) and rare . It's over two weeks now and it still hasn't been delivered from UK to Ireland ,seller says it was returned due to having no postcode ( No post code system in Ireland ).He says he has since resent it using another courier but seemed very reluctant to use Royal Mail when I contacted him several times for an update .
However , he has now asked that I leave feedback prior to recieving the item as he says until that is done he " cannot access the monies " .
I'm unaware of this and have contacted E Bay and Paypal direct but as usual haven't heard from them yet .
Can anyone throw some light on this , is it true ?
Cheers
Don

General Car Chat / Trolley Jack Seals

« on: 02 August 2009, 11:54:44 »

Guys , I need some help.

Several months ago there was a post by one of you re replacing seals in an old but trusty troilley jack. The originator PM'd me the contact details of the company in Manchester and I successfully got the correct seal.

I've done several searches for the thread but haven't found it.
I now have another jack courtesy of Clarke which has failed ( The third ) and they keep sending me new ones and telling me to scrap the previous

I asked for a seal kit to repair the last new one and they said they didn't have one but " have another jack " hence my need to find this supplier.
I wouldn't mind but the jacks are rubbish as I have reported before.
My advance apologies to the originator of the thread I am after for forgeting your details.

Don

General Car Chat / Maloo for me.....

« on: 02 August 2009, 22:43:34 »

Well I just watched Top Gear and have to say I was totally overwhelmed by the Vauxhall ( Holden ) Maloo.
I thought visually it was absolutley stunning irrespective of its phenomenal performance.
There's been few occassions that after seeing a car ( Ute ) for the first time has made me lust after it but that happened tonight......
Here , for those that missed it,

General Car Chat / Baldock /Royston /Letchworth area help please.

« on: 07 July 2009, 21:21:05 »

Posted this yesterday in the General discussion area but it got buried quickly.
Thought I'd try once more before giving up.

Long shot but thought I'd try this.
Scuffed the Omega last week and will not have it repaired locally due to them being extortionate and rubbish . As you can see on my location I live in Ireland now but prior to comming over had some paint mixed up into aerosols by AR Davies in Baldock Herts which was a 100% match for Z489.
They even found three different shades and identified mine as 68 L
They cant/ wont ship to Ireland ,which is disappointing as I have had aerosol tins sent over several times before, so I'm asking if there is any member in that area that could pick me up a couple of tins and post them over .
There are motor factors over here that will mix into aerosol but they all use water based paints and can't supply solvent based any longer , besides I am uncertain as to there quality of match.
I'd much rather have solvent based ,which AR Davies can still do , and the same mix as before ( 68 L ) to get that perfect match again.
So there we are , can any body help ? All monies etc will be paid prior to any collection / posting and I'll gladly pay for any expenses incurred in getting there
Thanks
Don

General Discussion Area / Where's Den ?

« on: 16 July 2011, 10:00:38 »

That old Desperado's been miising for some time, I thought he'd retired from his sensitive troubled job ?
Then again maybe his pension is as big a Fred Goodwin's and he's now on the Maybach Owners Forum......

General Discussion Area / BBC iPlayer big favour needed ...............

« on: 09 January 2011, 11:46:53 »

Although now living over here in Ireland I have a UK Sky system and enjoy watching UK TV all the time .
Recorded a programme on BBC4 Friday night ,Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers , which is a four hour documentry on the band .
I tranfered the HDD recording to disc last night only to find that the Sky box was set to go into standby after 2 hours

so I've only got half the programme.

Anyway , I can't get i player over here as the site recognises that I'm not in UK and blocks access.
I've tried the proxy server route but not had any success and all my reletives back in Scotland aren't PC literate enough to do what I want.
Can anyone do me a huge favour and record the programme on to disc from PC and send it over ?
I'll gladly pay all costs incurred .
This is the second disaster I've had with this programme as when it was first broadcast I recorded it onto our new HDD recorder and then promptly erased it when I was editing the 6 hour recording down to the four I wanted ..
