You can have it ! for a small fee, lol

May I emphasize the words NEW Abflug Spoiler ! As you can see from the above pictures its has since sustained heavy damage since being having the classification of new. This was purchased recently from a unnamed member on these forums for the whole sum of £300 sheets. Being a trusting fellow that I am; I never fully examined or queried the for sale thread pics so I bought this and may I say pleaded with another member who had first dibs to get my hands on it. I negotiated and lucky for that other member they decided to let me have it. Now can you see the problem ? When I arrived home to see this new specimen I was shocked and disappointed to what I found. The spoiler which may I say was brand new was cracked and split down the full horizontal axis. It was also apparent that some sort of glue had been used to join the spoiler at some point as the white primer that you would expect to be completely covering the spoiler only covered each half and was very jagged around the joins and towards the ends you could very clearly see that there was never any primer applied over the glue marks. To me and to many other people whom I showed this to all agreed that this spoiler was or had been damaged and repaired. I'm not saying the spoiler wasn't new as it arrived with new bolts and there was no sign of paint being applied but rather that somehow it has been previously damaged from a new condition then repaired again so I wouldn't class it as new. After contacting said member it was agreed for a return but they expressed on me making sure that the spoiler was ensured for the full value which I would have obviously done anyways but I thought how strange to mention that but I packed up and sent it. Three days later I get confirmation from the courier that said member refused to take delivery on the basis of its damaged ! I then contacted the member whom now refused to deal with me and refused to give me a refund. all in I've paid £300 plus about £14 paypal fees then another £30 sending it back. I'm keeping names out of this although most of you will know who this came from. I just wanted people to see and understand my side as i'm fed up seeing and being slated and even at one point being told that I was the one who done the damage which is absolutely crazy. I've managed to suppress and keep this issue to myself but I now feel people should know the truth. Lastly below is a picture taken from the sale thread which I now wish I paid more attention too. You can now clearly see the bad joins in the primer and the rough edges which look already split or repaired.

So here it is folks; what you've all been waiting to see :

Saw your results on facebook, well impressive mikey.

yes

And we just got that test too, so it does work !

lol, thanks for the belated update :thumbup1:

Yeh, and I closed this one too soon as I noticed it mikey ! Same rules for everyone, until its confirmed your fees are paid then it will stay closed. I'm not on here 24 hours a day so as soon as I noticed the thread I closed it, and same would have been said for other mods if they noticed it, Just so happens that no one noticed this time arround. If you wish to make an official complaint then pm myself or one of the other committee members but please do not spam this thread. Lee

And the guy has paid his dues for membership but were just awaiting Andy to confirm it.

Sorry but as a registered user only you are not permitted to sell yet; Although saying that I know that you have just paid your dues and are awaiting confirmation. So I'll close it for now and we can reopen it in a day or so after AndyP has confirmed your membership payment. Lee

can you pan back a bit so I can see a better picture of where the cables go !

thanks for the support, bank transfer usually take a few days and the time it takes for andy to check its went through. Just bump this thread in a day or two and we can check it again. Lee

you can actually use google to work this out directly, its also a good calculator ! just type in what you want as in : 45km in miles and it will reply back : 27.9617037 miles

looking good, should have entered this into the car of the month comp.

I'm sure gary has pre typed responses for most things!

Glad to help any fellow club member and If I was close enough and a bacon butty was available I would have came round too ! But its a near 500 mile round trip so it would have to be a bloody good bacon butty for me to come.

Could easily be stuck on but not an easy task testing directly as the switch is at the top of the gearbox, you may get to it with thin hands when on a 2 or 4 poster but not sure if it can be removed without taking the full box out either. Hopefully it will be a bad loom connection when the conversion was done and easily diagnosed top end and fixed.

if you disconnect this loom also in the engine bay and the lights turn off you know its the custom loom to the gearbox at fault or the switch. If you disconnect the loom and the lights stay on and it still bings then you have a bigger issue.

first place to check is drivers side in the engine bay. Just in front of the PAS pot there you will see a bunch of plugs which are for the auto box loom. One of which should now lead to the manual box reverse switch, unwrap whatever tape is on the custom cable and confirm they are not touching each other.

well if your lights come on then its not the switch as its the switch which triggers your lights in the first place !

its in the actual gearbox but if you say its never binged until now and also that you've had a conversion I would say one of the cables for the conversion needs sorted. Firstly stick it into reverse and get someone to check if the reverse lights actually come on. If they don't then either the switch is busted or the loom is which should be a custom cable from the gearbox to the drivers side of the engine bay. Else an easy fix is to remove the binger module which is located under the dash somewhere near the heater pod ecu in the drivers footwell.

Reverse switch could be faulty or permanently grounding itself making the ecu think your in reverse gear hence the binging noise.

Gary, have you had a facelift since we last met ?:laugh:
