Its the same with testing water/guaging interest threads, its either for sale or it isnt, it just wastes peoples time, people genuinely looking a car and then the buyer backs out. This is why i only buy and sell on forums that have these 2 rules Prices must be stated No guaging interest.

Fully agree offers threads are pointless on forums, if you do your research you can check ebay or search to see what an item is selling for. What you think its worth and what people are willing to pay are usually far apart these days.

Any Tog's in here?
70-300 is usually regard as a good range for motorsport, i had some reasonable success with a cheap sigma one, when i say cheap it was around £170 rrp and was ok but not perfect. Cheaper ones will need good light and and a fairly good autofocus system. Not sure how good the D50 is but generally its best to get the best glass you can afford.

Any sparkies on here? urgent help
Ours is the same so annoying lol must be an old fashioned way of doing it. In my other house we had 3 switches on 3 floors that would all work the same light on the bottom floor independantly.

Considering selling
I think £4.5 is a realistic price for what appears to be very nice uk example, they are getting rare and it has sensible mods and looks stock.

15 years in september
will be have been in work 20 years this year, 1st job was computer design for a rubber stamp factory using quark express and original Mac II did that for 9 years, then worked in a call centre, then pcw world and now laptop repairs all under the DSG umbrella, will be 11 years this year, we are moving to a huge new workshop in Newark, I have been offered redundency but its a paltry 11k which i dont feel is worth it, so just gonna stick out the transfer and see how it goes. It is practically the same job but maybe repairing consoles and flat panels, i do find it abit unerving changing jobs tho.

running on 5 cylinders
Has it been stood a while, mine will run on 5 for a few miles if its been left for 2 weeks or so, i guess its damp getting in the electrics, mine is a dodgy cable on a coil pack, but in daily use it does not show this symptom.

scammers on autotrader
The way my nephew was scammed was that he saw a nice ford focus for £800 retail was around £1200-£1500, guy had the excuse that he'd driven it to germany and needed to sell it as right hand drive was no good in germany. So he gets some pictures and a nice back story, agrees to buy it, he gets a vehicle shipping number, and a website to log into and track the progress. He sent the money via monerygram which states in big letters on the website "do not send money to people you don't know". The tracking website is fake, all the contact details are fake. Bang he's £800 out of pocket.

scammers on autotrader
My rather naive nephew got scammed from an autotrader ad to sum of £800, I wish he'd told me about it before he agreed to send the money by money gram grrrrr.

Bmw e39 m5
I took one for a test a few years back when i was looking to get one, it just pulled effortless from any rev range and was ridiculously smooth. Downsides are sub 20 mpg avg, servicing is pretty steep also. I would only buy a face lift model sep 2000 i think was the change, has better steering wheel, widescreen satnav and vanos issues solved. Cheap ones are the ones without nav and the heritage leather which looks awfully old fashioned compared to the nappa sports seats. They seem to have gone back up in price over the last few months also.

Hello
Hi welcome. When you say the turbos aren't working are you getting any boost at all, it could be in safety boost which is simply a safety feature to hold the boost off.

300zx not in movies
I would say because the 300zx hasnt really been that much of a "scene" car be it with drifting or track racing, the silvias, ae86 toyotas, rx7s, were the big drift cars, GTR's were in the equivalent DTM in japan/australia. 300zx did make an appearance in imsa racing but until i'd seen the steve millen one i'd never even heard of imsa. Add to this the favourable and possibly cheaper/easier tuning of the skyline and supra engines the 300zx was kinda always the odd one out.

spot the 300!
Well i guess at the time going from a 1.6 mk3 cavalier that would do 35mpg this thing would do about 20mpg. So quite a shock was only 21 at the time.
