After a discussion, we have taken the decision to ban Fingers21 as he was knowingly offering a clocked car for sale on this site.

After reading this I think you have taken the correct action. 
 Must remember the number though!

still dont sort rhe fact that OOF knows there is a heavily clocked
motor out there being offered for sale, it really shouldnt be left like that? some poor m.o.p will buy it prob join OOF then what? do we tell him he has a clocked car we knew of?
this is going to be a right can of works i think!

I guess it is down to Gee-Dub-Ya to do the reporting as the directly influenced party, AFAIK, he is the only one with contact details, address etc.

Im sure if anyone sees it advertised for sale elsewhere, contacting those responsible for that sales arena would be a good move 

I don't think there is any more we can do  :-/

HPI have just been given the mot ref to check it out for themselves and they will update the national mileage register.

that will then show on mycarchack and hpi

as it stood there was NO mileage data at all on the national register till this morning.

thats how important it is that you fill in the mileage on logbooks when you sell the car.

Don't really see you can do much more than that without going down the police route

Should be enough to protect anyone who makes a sensible, informed purchase

I think the relevant people should be told. Just think how you felt when you found out the car had been clocked. If someone is willing to sell a car that has been knowingly clocked then I would think that same person would be willing to clock a car and who knows how many cars have been done before. The person is a scrote and needs dealing with. If there's one thing I can't stand, its scrotes screwing people out of hard earned money

Before we go any further, this car has FULL service history upto 202k, then had a brand new engine, box and running gear fitted along with new clocks, showing 94k again with service history. This car runs like a new car and you really shouldn't let this put you off!

[Jimbob]

From what I have seen, that is at least a degree more honesty than has been shown here.

Brand new engine, box and running gear? Hardly..

there is nothing honest about it at all, it was on ebay in dec 09 with 226k, it didn't have new engine then. someone has written in the service book it had new clocks and engine above the service stamp for 208k in jun 08.

i've spoken to the owner and the servicing garage at the time it didn't have either, and he owned it up till oct 08.

if it had new clocks then it wouldn't have been mot'd with 223k in sep 09

[Jimbob]

Youve missed my point....It was being sold as a 94k mile example here with no mention of previous engine, clocks etc

I am aware the sums dont appear to add up from what Ive seen.

ok, it's a very very slightly more honest listing then

anyone got a swapz account that could ask some Q's about the engine swap, when it happened etc

[jonnycool]

Advertising a car as having an engine, gearbox and running gear that has only done 30 or 40 K is still despicable, he's just preying on the inexperienced buyer who would never check the details, who would probably get stuck with the car when selling it on
