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 :) .

Oh dear Rem, doesn't sound like a daily car then. Ah I went 2014, 2012 & 2011.... missed 2013 as was away! Awesome looking car (& sounding). Depends, poss in France that week. Hope you get punishr back for the weekend!

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

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!

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.

got a friend whos selling hers, its 2007 with 40k miles - shes only done 10k in last 3 years... looks alright just dont want to walk into something that ends up as expensive as the mini! not heard much about them having common issues
Mar 23 2015 11:23 AM

Vinay-RS

It's Japanese, those people know a thing or two about reliability. Probably a good idea to check for common issues online before buying it though.

That's why I moved to Poland, bigger and cheaper houses, more space, less people - a better lifestyle for me.

I'd rather have them repainted than clean them!

Have you not got an enormous fruitbowl in the kitchen full of keys/old padlocks/mints/loose change/bits of post/receipts? I thought everyone had one of those :-D

or you do like I do and go off searching for something in the garage, only to then realise you have already used or sold it 6 months previously.
