This made me think of a woman i saw once at Morrisons. She pulled the hose out of the filler neck without first letting go of the trigger. It went everywhere and she stood there screaming but still didn't thin to let go of the trigger. A man came along and took it from here after a few seconds.

The house is very well insulated. The loft looks like something out of NASA because all the floor and between the rafters are stuffed with that foil covered insulation board and the fluffy stuff. Have decided on the triple glazing. It doesn't actually cost all that much more than double and want the soundproofing more than anything else.

Very good. :) It's freezing in our house. :( Triple glazing seems to be quite common now, the new double glazing.

Well, they're ordered and take about 3 weeks to make so I shall have the benefit just about the time summer rolls around and all the windows will be open anyway :-D

I could use it every day but I don't have a boot or rear seats in mine because of the engine being there instead...

BronkoMini - yeah could argue about how it does everything I need it to, however now I realise how much easier and more comfortable you can do everything :) .

he is claiming that he requested me to send it RM 1st class which he says would have been cheaper and quicker. I told him that i thought it was unfair for him to leave neg feedback as i had been straight up and prompt and he agreed so that's it i guess. a load of fuss for nothing
Mar 24 2015 03:41 PM

Miniminx71

Yeah, and if you ent it by Royal Mail First Class it mysteriously might not have turned up so just say you're being a professional seller by using a tracked delivery. Bit more expensive but avoids non-delivery arguments.

If he leaves negative feedback then you can report it and get it removed, it sounds like you posted as per the listing that he agreed to by paying for it therefore a simple case for eBay to resolve. I had a slightly different situation but had the negative feedback removed myself in the past, this also counts against the buyer and if he gets more than a couple of these he'll find he's blocked from buying.

He did e-mail me first but it was in the middle of the night, 2 hours before he opened the case. weirdo..

Just had a similar thing, parcel takes 1 day longer to arrive than the eBay delivery estimate and the buyer opens a case which gets my payment withheld by PayPal! Item arrives (this was last Thurs) and the buyer has not bothered to close the case, leaving me to await the eBay decision 8 days from now, put my eBay account on hold effectively. Not happy!
Mar 24 2015 09:49 AM

Ben_O

It's all a pain! Just had another one too. Not a case this time but someone demanding to know where there parcel is. We are on day 4 of the 4-5 day estimate. *******

Sorry, I meant you should take a picture and ask in Problems, Questions and Technical to be sure. Here is an example but I don't know if this would be correct for your car: http://minispares.com/product/Classic/Cooling_heating/CAM6239.aspx?07&ReturnUrl=/search/classic/water pump pulley.aspx|Back to search

You'll be able to pick one up second hand for a lot less.
