nowtelse2do Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 100% feedback so thats a positive but too good to be true. It doesn't say anything about payment method. If it's kosher i'll kick myself. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletguy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 FE51 PCX doesn't register with DVLA either. Quite why these idiots bother listing what will obviously quickly be found as a scam i've no idea other than there must still be dummies out there who part with wads of cash without even looking a vehicle over first and checking the documents. A fool and his money as the saying goes. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordThornber Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's true that some folk think eBay = bargain. I sold a 2 year old Samsung tablet recently for £72. The exact same item was at the time for sale in Argos for £79. Kerching :D Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithl Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 You have to enter the make to match a pop-up description, in this case VOLKSWAGEN. If it doesn't match you get the error :-( Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there's one born every minute but i wouldn't do that until i'd looked the vehicle over, checked the docs and checked they related to the person and address i was buying from.

Fadcode310 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This should be a good warning to everybody, dont trust anyone, and never part with any money until your standing next to the item your interested in, even if sellers have what appears to be very good feedback, which is easily obtained buying and selling items to friends, etc, Ebay are not interested if you get scammed, and remember Ebay own, Gumtree, and a large chunk of Craigslist, so they have the monopoly, they even have a warning about paypal payments on Gumtree, and Ebay own Paypal and Gumtree. Now to a little problem I am having, does anybody know where the split charge relay is on a 2004 Miller Winnipeg, on a Ducato Chassis, be obliged for any help as i have looked everywhere and cant find it.

You would be better starting a new topic to ask this, however I think it is behind the passenger seat in the seat box . I think there you will find a fuse box in the panel, and that in turn is part of the Nordelettronica control unit. It contains all the relays as part of a PCB assembly module. The cable from the alternator will run from here under he plastic step insert in door way and then up to the fuse box behind dash and be spliced into a cable there somewhere....probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadcode310 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks for the info, I thought it might be behind the bank of fuses fitted to the bulkhead behind the passenger seat, I will check tomorrow, thank you in anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
