Jim Bell Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Ok, tell you what. If you want, I’ll PM you my bank details to give him and he can send you the money via me?Cheers for the offer man, that's very kind. Like I say, I'd rather just learn a lesson and move on.

loserone Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Jim, use monzo.me - then they can pay using a credit or debit card straight into your monzo account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Jim, use monzo.me - then they can pay using a credit or debit card straight into your monzo account.If someone raises an unauthorized payment issue with their bank or credit card company following a payment via that method, would the same procedure not just play out? I'm not too keen on finding out tbh. loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled_Tat_Gatherer Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Cheers for the offer man, that's very kind. Like I say, I'd rather just learn a lesson and move on. Fair point on him offering to stump up - at least he did that and it was 'system error' type thing….. well played sirs.Personally - I know your bank won't bloody take the money even if I throw it at them several times!

Jim Bell Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Which they can dispute just like PayPal?Exactly. It's not a PayPal dispute. It's the Credit Card company retrieving funds from the receiving bank. Which in this case is PayPal. Sure Monzo would be the same/similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Took the Corsa to the station this morning and it still appears to car as well as last year. Timing chain still a touch noisy at idle but no worse than last year. Filed under 'they all do that'. Its lack of uumph is more than compensated for by its great handling (decent tyres and suspension) and light controls! davehedgehog31, Rusty_Rocket and egg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I might add a new rule where you need 200 posts before participating, as I'll no doubt be running a roffle at some point this year. strangeangel, egg and somewhatfoolish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 That is really bad news about the loss of monies like that Jim Bell. PayPal has become harder and harder to use in terms of dishonest people using some form of complaint to get their money back fraudulently. The strange thing is despite all the times they “add security” it usually ends up with the honest party loosing money. I have this experience from eBay transactions. I agrees with RobT as regards some sort of minimum number of posts to enter future roffles. Might be a good option. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms206 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The Carina is quite rotten. This has saddened me a bit as I like it, but the welding required is a bit on the sore side. Today I went to scout out a potential replacement... which is out of test, needs four tyres, a stereo and... err... sills. FUCK SAKE. Reckon I'm still gonna buy it anyway. Fuck it.

egg Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm sorry about Jim's situation, I genuinely am. I also don't like PayPal's almost monopoly (yes I know there are other providers as mentioned above) - lets call it an Oligopoly...but 99% of PayPal transactions work well and facilitate moving money around like just wasn't possible 20 years ago. Next time I do a roffle, I'll stick with PP. I think Rob's suggestion about post count (I'd add a certain time period as well - as you can easily power post to any given total) is wise and useful extra terms we could all apply.

bramz7 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Merc went for scrap today. Redcorn (who else, seriously?) came and got it, and put it on the spec lift at the back of a (brand new) transporter. £203 cheque already banked, £53 profit!

vulgalour Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Balljoints - requires 45mm socket. I don't have a 45mm socket. No local shops stock a 45mm socket. Ordered one from the local parts shop who can get it next day and it was predictably expensive because, presumably, nobody wants 45mm sockets. Brake calipers - Simple case of stripping and rebuilding so I can get them on the car. Problem the 1 is that I hadn't bought new brake pad shim/spacer/anti rattle things so I've had to order those. Problem the B is that only 1 pot is willing to come out on each caliper, so I may have to dismantle the ones on the car to rebuild rather than the spares. We're going to attempt to use the Hydragas dalek with a male-to-male adaptor since it can put out more pressure than the puny little compressor at our disposal, allowing us to get a decent seal with a fitting that screws into the hose input holes on the caliper. In theory, this is a sound idea. Spare Hubs - CBA. Just... they're not exactly difficult to strip down to the useful components so I can scrap the worn out stuff, I just CBA. Steering column bush - ordered a couple of new ones, but they haven't arrived yet. Amazingly, this is a very easy part to acquire, and cheap too!

vulgalour Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 That will be employed in some quantity yes. I don't think it's going to be a good substitute for the bits that require replacing, which looked like this on the spare calipers.

BorniteIdentity Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Have posted in the shitely delivery thread but will drop it in here too. I have to deliver a vehicle to Knock, West Ireland in about two weeks time. I am happy to drive anything back that someone wants as long as I can get to it easily enough and costs are covered. Particularly if it’s a Toyoda Starlet etc. Dirk Diggler and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
