DID YOU BOTHER READING WHAT YOU POSTED...NONE OF THE ITEMS WERE MINI RELATED...GET A LIFE

No need to shout and no need to be aggressive either. For a start as oltonlad said, there were mini related parts in that list and maybe the same engine for all we know! Even if there weren't mini related parts, dubious feedback like that would definitely stop me buying *anything* from such a seller.

Only 4 posts so far and already 2 in which you're shouting the odds on behalf of 'a friend'. Why not just relax and have a good Christmas.....

Good news for you all in the area, there will be a DECENT mini centre opening soon between Worcester and Hereford, called Seven City. Workshops will be finished off and open early next year. You will all be more than welcome to pop down and have a cupa tea and a chat and a nosey around.

Freshly painted but with marks!! BAD PAINT JOB. Badly fitted A panels and what's with the front arch profile? some one get carried away with a hobby saw trying to make bigger wheels fit! When will these people stop bodging minis and move on to doing cut-n-shuts with new cars

Steer well clear of Vale Mini, Dave and John. Just starting legal proceedings against Dave Robinson and John Evans of Vale Mini. They are both as bad as each other. Both have looked me straight in the eye and lied about work carried out and what they were going to do.Luckily I have their home addresses :angry: John Evans is the 'New Management' refered to on the eeb site. Pretends to be your 'best mate' until his has your money and then he turns nasty. Dave Robinsion lives in a fantasy world where he is a mini expert. He isn't. He is a liar and cheat. I wish I had never heard of either of them and Vale Mini.

Reported them to Trading Standards but they just didn't seem interested that the mini was a death trap. It had so many issues it was declared dangerous and could not be driven even away from a local garage when the wheel fell off due to wrongly fitted studs!! Luckily only on local road with me driving not on M25 with my son or daughter driving!! I have a expert mechanical report with photos showing the state of engine, breaks, exhaust and interior. Payment was always supported by signed receipt and signed confirmantion of work supposedly carried out. Trading Standards still not interested!!!!

Even had a local MOT, near Vale Mini. When checked it had 7 serious fails, 5 minor issues and 6 advisories. VOSA were similarly useless in dealing with the MOT garage who signed the certificate.

Police not interested until I threatened to go up there and resolve myself. Typical.
