I used carpartcourier.co.uk £50 to ship front & rear seats. Just make sure you get them wrapped how they say with cardboard.

Much better Andy, doesn't look like it's about to take off any more.

Lee seems incapable of accepting any responsibility for his mistakes. His ex gets most of the blame & so do other traders which is unbelievable. Some of this sounds similar to my situation. Lee would often message me for a rant about how much work he's done on the car & how annoyed he was. Some problems that occurred I know were true but others I'm not too sure about now. I'm suspicious of everything. Did he not offer to take your car back to check it over? I think I know the answer to that question to be honest.

I'm looking for a TT front bumper in silver & a bonnet in silver in decent condition.

I'm sure everyone is aware I had my one piece prop stolen. Well, jimmer contacted me recently & said he still had the one Lee asked him to make & would I like it for free which was really kind of him. So my slicktop now has a one piece prop fitted which has helped ease the pain of losing my Z1 prop. Shows there still decent people out there. Thanks again mate.

Was a decent drive & decent coffee too, thanks Andy good to see you.

Last one of the year, I'll be going if anyone else wants to come?

So this shows that when incidents like this happen both sides of the story need to be heard. If I'd known this & about some of the other stories I would've been more careful with Lee & maybe have stopped using him & wouldn't be in the situation I find myself in now. This is why I've spoken out to warn others. & I know there's more still to come out but people don't want to say anything even now.

I'm not having a go at you here Ian I'm simply asking the questions because we never heard from you when all this was going on. All we had to go on was what Lee & your ex wife had to say. If Lee wins a court case against you then we think he must be right but know one knew you didn't know about it & didn't turn up. - - - Updated - - - I'm not having a go at you here Ian I'm simply asking the questions because we never heard from you when all this was going on.

The silver lwb was crashed & back on the road now. I know the swb wasnt

You're right Si it wasn't to do with a Zed it was a previous car. Could've been a triumph if I remember correctly. I didn't just hear this from Lee either. The silver Zed was sold much later on & was then sold on again & then crashed I think. Can't believe Lee is still blaming other traders for his actions.

If that's the truth Ian why didn't you get the police involved to get your cars back? They were still in your name & Lee had no right to keep them if what you're saying is true. Did you speak to the committee about this? Again Lee needs to make an appearance to give his side of things but he's still hiding.

I've heard she's not in a good state but I hope you get a good deal & bring her back to her former glory

Me & my dad have our own business, sometimes work goes quiet sometimes we're manic, in both situations it can be very stressful. I also have a young family so I'm working all day, sometimes at night & weekends too, then I've got to come home & sort the kids out so my personal life can be just as busy. But it's never driven me to steal from one of my customers. I know there's positives about Lee I've said that all along but what he's done is the lowest of the low. It's all his own fault, nothing to do with other traders, they didn't make him steal or do bodge jobs.

Was just about to ask that Si.

To be fair I'm not sure Ian is completely innocent in that situation. & what Lee sold the cars for didn't cover the bill he owed. But Ian dissappeared so we didn't get to hear his side of things but I heard he had done it before to another garage. I heard this off a few people. But I don't know what to think any more.

Thats the thing, hes always done good work for me so why hes done this i just dont know. but now im thinking about other parts ive given him, has he fitted them? probably, but i cant help feeling suspicious now.

looking forward to tuesday now

I heard about your gaskets being missing & i know theres a lot more soon to come out involving other zeds. Think if anyone has left their zed with Lee recently they need to check it over as much as they can just incase

thanks Gary. I wont be going anywhere mate. Job for the weekend is to get all the L A Auto stickers off my zeds.

probably not appropriate but cant say i blame you after everything thats gone on Jeff

just want to reiterate the guy who Lee sold my prop to, he isnt on here but hes on facebook, didnt know anything about this & hes a really nice guy. Hes helped me get the final bit of evidence i needed. Im hopefully meeting up with him soon to have a good chat about it all. Hes as gutted as me as he thought he had found a trustworthy zed garage.

Cheers Si. To be honest I'm really not interested in what he's got to say. I'm not expecting a Z1 prop to turn up or even an apology. I'm finished with him now, I was nearly selling my zeds when I found out & a lot of people I've told wanted to go down there & sort him out but I'm not like that. Just got to move on but warn others so they don't fall victim

I think this post will cause a lot of arguments & i may possibly lose a few friends but its all true. Im not one for getting involved in arguments but ive got to make people aware of whats been going on recently. My swb has been with a zed specialist and very good friend Lee Dent. He got it back on the road, which wasnt easy. The car was missing a few major parts including a prop shaft. I managed to find one on facebook, a z1 lightweight prop so i was really happy to find that. i dropped it at Lee Dents not long after receiving it in the post. About 4 months later, after a lot of crap with the swb it was finally ready so i collected it & dropped my lwb off with Lee at the same time. I was really happy with the swb but on inspecting it a few days later i discovered the Z1 prop shaft wasnt on the car but a standard one was. So i messaged Lee to find out why & he told me it was rattling & would get it fixed for me & said he was sorry he forgot to tell me. I told him not to worry just put it in the boot of the lwb & ill sort it over winter. I thought it was a bit strange as he messaged me about all the other issues when they occurred but not the prop which is a pretty major problem. Shortly after this i became aware of a rumour circulating that my prop was on someone elses car. At first i thought it was nonsense as lee was a good friend & wouldnt do that to me. But then i started to get more details & i became suspicious. I found out whos car it was supposedly on but i couldn't challenge Lee as my lwb was still with him. i got that back last week (prop wasnt in the boot like id asked for but he said that he would get it fixed for me again) so i started to dig more. i heard that Lee has asked Jimmer to make him a prop for a swb manual na. I contacted Jimmer & he confirmed this & he sent me the message Lee sent him asking for one asap as he had "borrowed" one from a customer. You dont borrow other peoples parts. So Lee is trying to replace my ali prop with a steel one. however Lee never sent jimmer payment for the prop so it was never sent. Then i got in contact with the guy who has my prop on his car & explained the situation. I asked him to look under his car & see what prop was on it. The next day he phoned me back & said he has a silver prop on his car & he took a video of it. Its my prop!! This guy knew nothing about it, as far as he was concerned his prop was a brand new steel prop so weve both been conned here. This whole situation has left me absolutely gutted & even though ive known for a few weeks now im still in shock. Ive always thought of Lee as a good friend but cant get past what hes done. I even paid him in full for the work he did on my lwb even though i was 99% sure he had stolen from me. Ive got a lot of good friends on here who are also good friends with Lee. I know you guys will be in as much shock as me & i hope you believe me. Ive got no reason to make this up. Ive always been happy with Lees work and i know he worked hard getting my swb back on the road. i dont know why hes done this but i cant let him get away with this. If it happened again to someone else i wouldnt forgive myself. I dont want any smart arse comments please.

Must be the same one. I can still remember having a look round it. It was parked on the seafront but over the road if that makes sense.
