Who did you pay in Japan and you should of been emailed the auction papers, if you paid the money for the car to the Broker you bought the car off him not Japan according to Dept of Fair Trading.

i sourced the car out myslef, i got given no auction papers i just saw it on another site, it was an auction listing and i told him thats the car im intersted in, soo bid for me. as for the money goes i paid it all to him, i stil didnt get any auction papers of any sort or have seen any at all of my car., in that case i would have bought the car off him, hence does this mean that he is now liable for the damages???

this is confusing me, i know its not his fault but i do believe that he is party responsible because he didnt arrange the service of safe tranportation, when i said that i would pay extra for the far bar to be taken off. soo i think he is liable a there.

this is all f*cked, i just want my front bar fixed, and he better deliver a cheap prices too. as for service goes, im happy with everything, just that he couldnt provide a simple request.

buying a car without seeing the auction report is very dodgy. Paying money to your broker when he doesnt own the car is very dodgy. Someone you have hired not following out your instructions is very dodgy.

gl with your car :D

I dunno how some of these brokers seem to get away with doing nothing in exchange for vast quantities of cash. I source cars for people over here in the UK. People tell me what they want. I then do all the auction searching, get vehicles inspected, get auction reports translated and only if the person wants me to bid on a car for them do I take a £500 depo. Then I get the car inspected again before shipping and then the person pays me 50% to get it boarded. Then, they don't pay me anything else until they've had a chance to inspect the car here in the UK.

If there's a good reason for it being turned down then they get their money back (so no risk to the customer). If there are small issues like cracked spoiers then I get them sorted for them. Only when they take delivery of the car do they pay the balance. The way I see it, I earn my meagre profit by being the one to do all the legwork, stump up money up front and hence take the risk on cars, and get everything sorted (new tyres and all that) for the buyer so they don't have to do anything at all to get what they want.

I guess that makes me more than a broker - I'm assuming all a broker does is handle the financial transactions and take a cut?

i uderstand that he was under preussure because of the 15 yr old rule and every1 was going crazy, but the car is here and the if i dont see the same FOB price on the auction sheet when he hand me over the car, il cerrtain ask and raise all these questions.

the car is here now, so i know that hes done his job, but its seems alil dodge to me too. i think i just have to wait and see.

Cheers Sumo. Prob is I'll never be rich and I spend months worrying about every car I supply! It's bloody stressful when you want to do the right thing for people and see smiley faces. And it truly pisses me off when I seen some guys living the life of Riley purely because they take the piss, while at the same time I've developed more wrinkles on my face in the last 5 years than my grandma did in 80 years.

My passion is cars though, which is probably why I do more on them than perhaps I should, so it's a good job my Mrs works as well to feed the nippers. Sometimes I think that I could skimp on buying a set of tyres at £500 and instead go on holiday, but somehow I always end up at the tyre place moments later!

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
