Ryan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 So, did you get what you wanted? Did you grab a bargain? I went with a long list and came back with only one of my must buys - a Safari Snorkel. Bargain, well at least I thought so! Described by the seller as "almost new, fitted to my son's Discovery but he changed his mind and took everything off." Tried to beat him down, but got it for £135. Have just taken everything out of the box for a good look and it looks like the only thing that was used was the template!! None of it had been fitted to the vehicle! Saving about £65 plus delivery on a shop-bought item. Me = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 4x 175A Anderson style connectors for jump lead project. Oh ****, I knew there was something I missed off my list. As per my post on another thread, I saved about £65 on the list price of what appears to be a brand new Safari snorkel. A pair of cheap dislocation cones to see me through until I can get the ones I want. And a thermostat (oooh, pushing the boat out there! ) I had a long list, with three must-buys. I got one.

Lewis Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Despite Fridges 109 being on 37"s, on Volvo Portals, and being bright red, I still managed not to spot it in the 10mins I spent wandering around RR3 4.4 V8 elecy fan for £20 it is massive in its own cowling so it should keep my 4.2 nice and cool The engine uses a viscous fan on L322 RR, if you have an electric fan then its the one off of the front of the rad pack for the aircon. They dont shift a great deal of air in my experience. Also worth noting is that the later ones are not 12v and are controlled by the BCM for some bizarre reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeagent Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I'll be honest, I wasn't that impressed with it, there was a serious amount of total garbage being sold there... I've been twice a year for the last 5 years and do think the glory days might be slipping away.. I did get a few bargains though, good (tested) fire extinguisher for £6.50, nice BMW first aid kit for £5, 4 genuine hub seals for £1 each, replacement boot cargo bins for my 5 seat disco for £5 and a monster tyre lever for £25 (not cheap but a good bit of kit) I did look at the 'terra firma' suspension being knocked out by Frogs Island, but as the South African bloke flogging it was so pushy, and didn't seem to know anything what he was trying to sell (like where it was made) I walked away with my £200 intact.. I'm sure I'll be back in April, as there are lots of bits on my list I didn't find... at least the weather was nice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 PIKEY" yes mate it's a full stainles system from RR,there £400 new"ME .but it's a mild steel system.......... PIKEY" Yeh they go that colour after a while" ME. " what ****in rusty!" I hate to break it to you, but they do go rusty on the surface - I have an SS system in my garden and apart from the "shiny grade" silencer the rest of it looks like a used mild system. I only bought one thing - a pair of V8 rocker covers with a longer oil filler tube so I can get more oil in the engine and less on the engine Took loads of stuff to sell, didn't shift most of the good stuff but sold quite a few bits I would class as utter tat people are really strange, they will pay £10 for rusty carp I was going to throw away, but won't pay a few quid more for something brand new in a box... I still have loads of stuff I need to sell - clicky for the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
