  1. Dirty bastards. Can't believe they've been getting away with this for years.
  2. Mileage got from mot history maybe? Possibly the garage he bought it from a couple of months ago? Young foreign student, ripe for some exploitation. Or could be scammers who phone 50 randoms per day hoping one bites and have no intention of servicing the car. I suggested he contacts the London based garage that supposedly serviced his car in Glasgow to see if they know anything about it. Whatever, a young lad is severely out of pocket.
  3. I don't think they'll have lifted the bonnet.
  4. Not sure. I've told my daughter to tell him to get onto his bank and try and recover the money. Robbing scumbags need their collar felt.
  5. Some scamming bams in Glasgow have ripped off a friend of my daughter's. They phoned him up telling him the mileage etc of his car and how it needed a service. This would be £145 including collecting and dropping off. He's at uni on a visa and a bit naive, so thought this was normal practice in this country. They wouldn't return his car until they paid this bill. The invoice letter head is for a garage in Enfield London, who are no doubt oblivious to their name being used. Dirty bastards
  6. Anyway of finding out what the hammer prices were?
  7. Wee blast from the past. I spent far too much time on ollr back in the day. A great forum that eventually fell apart.
  8. Glasgow rentals have gone a bit mad this year. The unis have oversubscribed themselves with hundreds of students fighting over every flat. Fortunately my daughter kept her flat on so got it tied up before the craziness. Might not be so lucky next year
  9. Couldn't you put the shelving on the same wall as the steps? You must be enjoying not having to work on the street while running an extension cable from your flat window.
  10. Hopefully it won't be like my Santa Fe as its suspension components rotted away in the Scottish salty road environment.
  11. It drives well. Quite nippy with the 1.4 engine. I had to put a new oil cooler on the gearbox though after an FTP. Thought I'd killed the box, but after cooling down and an oil change, it was fine. First start after winter hibernation the engine temperature got a bit hot and the mot is up, so it's off the road just now. My maestro is under a cover in a shed too.
  12. Hello from a fellow maestro and Renault 5 owner.
