i just ignore post only ebay items because im in the wrong place for most of the stuff.

but 2 things bug me about ebay in particular people saying they are breaking a car, ask for any parts:
- they dont reply
- their only response is to tell you to ring them, (which is okay but considering i have a hard to understand accent and i find their accent hard to understand its not a good idea) It even more annoying when ebay has this messaging service that works perfectly anyhow. also through the email system you have a written record of what you asked for.

I got one of those a week or so after I bought the car - £25 & 100 mile round trip to collect. 8)

Brilliant bits of kit, (unless you need to change a wheel.....or a CD).

Essential though, soggy CKC spaniels & beige interior are not happy bedfellows.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

They tend to ramp the postage up as soon as you mention Northern Ireland. "Oh Ireland? That'll be international innit." "Aye but it's still technically classed as UK" "Nah mate, extra for 'ighlands an islands innit."

I think highlands and islands is defined as outside the M25 :roll:

i have a boot liner, not pug genuine its got just a checkered texture, with lips round the sides, considering the dog goes in the boot, and ive spilt stuff in there ranging from engine oil to hen food, its nice to take it out and see the boot like new under it. £25 it was and postage was free back last year.
