People who moan about driving. people who moan about other peoples driving. people who moan about sideburns. people who moan about cyclists. FFS STOP MOANING BE GLAD YOUR ALIVE.................................

Oh, Jesus..... Macca's turning into one of those happy clapper religious types.


This might take a while......
I came into a small amount of money recently. So decided to take the opportunity to change my gas guzzling car to something a little more economic.

Decided on the Vectra 1.9CDTI (150) Auto Estate. Found a nice looking 04 model at a dealers described as 'everything works as it should'.
The test drive involved endless circles of their compound dodging broken walls, concrete blocks & pot holes you could lose a cruise linner in (They are in Liverpool and going by the motorway condition the closer you get...the compound was no different). Everything was fine, suspension, steering, etc. Some service history & loads of receipts & MOT paperwork. I bought it... ?1400 cash

Only to find out later that day when I started driving around town that this has an issue, a serious issue. Low gear start with power... 2nd to 3rd step up at 4000rpm or higher results in the gearbox disengaging until the revs drop. Had it checked. Gearbox ECU fubar, possible water in gear oil. Then I found out the ESP doesn't work! Sideways on a roundabout with no warning. I wasn't even pushing it, just normal speed. Nearly pinballed the car next to me into the barrier.

Estimated ?2000 to fit it. Of course the dealers are ignoring my calls, or they were. The stupid b a s t a r d s made a serious mistake. It was part ex'd by a disabled driver who has free tax, that was taken away by the owner. Instead of completing the V62 form to change it back to diesel class tax & put 6 months on it.....they just put a tax disk from another car into the window & hid the reg details.

Of all the dodgy tricks to try!! But it seems the fear of trading standards getting hold of the car & tax disk has made them very agreeable. I get my full refund & costs back tomorrow...... Trading standards will be getting video & stills for the tax disk if they try to screw me over.

Never buy a car from the Liverpool Motor Company on Goodlas Rd

As well as the electrical & mechanical problems they fitted barely legal tyres on the front that were the wrong size & one of the rear tyres looks like it was driven on while flat. None of that bothered me at the time as I would be putting new rubber on, servicing & replacing the water pump & timing belt. Not that it's going to happen now . The balls on the bloke must be huge. When I pointed out the front tryes he even tried to tell me there was loads of grip left on them. You'd need a micrometer to measure the gap between the legal limit markers & actual tread.

Used car dealers like this need to be shot.
