Fleabay purchases

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

That one is OK Jim, I purchased a mirror and grill from them. The guy also does ABS module repairs...although I got a new ABS ECU for my V70 from Midwest ABS in Michigan.....

Speaking of the US: I just watched 'Vanishing Point' film, that's how imagine life is all the time in America :) :) mmm superchargers

How impolite....the seats that were in the advert from GoodCosmicEnergy and that I paid for, are now advertised for sale with the seller I linked above....seller is ClassicCarsAndCustomCarsAndParts....

It's the ones with the coloured squares. Recent photo too from last month. Grrr - reported to eBay

I saw this new seller and immediately thought 'Hang on a minute...'
They (Gina) have really let themselves down by using the same style pictures!

I take it James it's still not sorted yet :(

I can also say Jim, that one seller (Tim) is very good. Have purchased from him over the years for my V70 with good results ;)
Poppy sold 2 year ago, sorely missed :(

Now driving my 98 V70 AWD inherited 8 years ago!

My other car has a supercharger with 330bhp. It tends to like a drink though, especially when its cold weather :eek:
Still I've never had so many Nectar points :wink:

Davey, no still not sorted, well apart from the fact I have sourced leather seats from elsewhere.....hence Grumpy Cat avatar is no more! GoodCosmicEnergy is not a registered user anymore so unlikely to see a refund. And the 'roller boot cover' they sent me doesn't look like the ones I have seen in Celebrations...when I get the brackets I will check then post it back to the home address in Islington for these clowns, as I located them eventually.

Case closed I guess, put that one down to experience

Glad you managed to get some leather eventually James.

Although, much as I like a bit of Wonka, the place isn't gonna be the same without grumpy cat...

I might have to give him a home now!! ;)

The condescending man (Wonka) rules! A bit Saville-esque creepy tho so will probably change again. I did some snowboarding at the weekend dressed as my favourite anti-hero so that will be the theme. I'm pretty rubbish as just learning.
