But from what you have said about test drive and miles covered since. It sounds more like just **** luck TBH. If you had bought mine and something like this happened then things would have been akward, so part of me is relieved, and just reminded me of my rule which is to generally avoid selling to friends, family or ascociates for just this possible scenario.
Sincerally hope its a nothing problem, but its still agro and worry you could do without. But At least with the a scoob you are in good company and I'm sure it will get sorted. Plenty of folk about to have a look over it for you.. |
as you say rob i think it was just **** luck,and yes it is awkward when you sell anything to a m8 and then it goes tits up quickly afterwards,car is booked in with brent on thursday to swap the rear shocks over(the normal sti knocking shocks which i knew about before i brought car and luckily tim had a pair for sale which was awesome,so hopefully by weekend will all be sorted.

thanks m8 hopefully the mystery will be resolved soon.
