I'm up that way anyway Sunday, so Imay just mention to the seller whilst I'm there.......

and see how brown his pants go.

Definitely seems dodgy, at least now you mentioned it and I checked other listings.

I can get a box for about £40 form a local scrappers anyway, just the ratios will be different, would have happliy paid extra for the right ratio, as it's what I'm used to, I'll have to learn to drive all over again :P

report as soon as possible, usually within 24-48 hours.

We'll look at the information you provided and compare it to our records
of bidding patterns and other activity involving the reported accounts.
We'll then take any appropriate action (such as warnings or account
suspensions) against the involved accounts to ensure eBay remains a safe
and reputable place to buy and sell.

Sometimes, what appears to be Shill Bidding may actually be legitimate.
For example, a bidder may bid almost exclusively on one or two sellers
whom they have come to trust. If we find there's not enough evidence of
Shill Bidding, we may not take action against any of the reported
accounts.

Please be aware that as it's important that eBay maintains member
privacy, we can't share details of the action we take.

We know your time is valuable and we appreciate you taking a moment to
express your concern to us. Thank you for helping to keep eBay a safe,
fun place to shop.

Bugger that, just stick a tax disc in the SR and I'm laffin.

It's quite nice knowing I got 3 or 4 spare cars and vans knocking about.

I can take my time and wait for the right shit to come along

Well, I got a box from elsewhere in the end, but it appears that the selector rod is slightly different length between the U11 and the T12/72 so just waiting for one to arrive now.



In the meantime I'll just use one of these

do you live in one of those vans ?

If I did there would be a lot more cars there.

tbh, can't see the point in more than 1 project, but i was going to say i would not mind living in a caravan out of the way of the monotony of daily life and people you just can't be arsed to talk to, my mum lives in a big static in france with no cares in the world.
