I have someone on ebay wanting to pay by Visa Electron and not by paypal or any of the other options listed on my advert. Should I be suspicious? The person asking has 0% feedback currently.

    Good plan. It's the time wasters that cause all of the grief. They win the auction, make excuses for days and then pull out meaning that you could have sold to somewhere else. when i used to sell laptops on there, i only accepted immediate payment otherwise it would be offered to the next highest bidder, Its the only way to keep things running smoothly

    Its a home made EGR blanking plate worth about £3, most of which will go towards the postage of it. About 75% of my feedback score is due to selling so its not the first time I have had problems with a buyer but this is the first time I have had them offer to pay via another means. I generally deal with second hand car parts. I tend to by a job lot of bits and then sell the rest on to cover the cost of the one piece I wanted out of it.

Need to check if my clutch is verto or pre vertrti but have no idea which bit to look at. Any help?

    Look at the left hand side of the engine, if it is pre verto, the slave cylinder will be mounted directly onto the wok and have a longer arm, Vero slave cylinder is mounted onto a plate which then pushes a smaller arm
