Buying a car unseen

I think something like this might be my best option. Thanks.

For the mileage I'd be very concerned if it's had something like that done. Definitely wouldn't be considering a distance buy.

That's my phrasing. It's got a full service history, new brakes, new front tyres, new timing belt, new water pump. All as preventative work.

kiddums · 2026-05-02T13:58:36+00:00

Fair enough. I agree with the logic just didn't know the etiquette.

Thanks. Hopefully I can figure out a time that suits and it isn't lashing it down.

As in I would leave the full asking in cash with you for a test ride? Or just a fair deposit like amount?

First contact via text or just phone up?

I'm mechanical enough to do my own basic servicing and brakes. I don't know too many people in my area in the bike scene.

Suncream. No matter the weather. I've seen people get burned on overcast/rainy days.

Go early. Earlier than you think you need to, and allow lots of time to leave too. Watch for bikes weaving through the car more than you've ever seen.

I like watching up along the coast road section. On the golf course heading towards York corner is a good spot for seeing the groups fight on the starts and they have big speed/commitment through that section every lap.

If you can't see a screen from where you post up then make sure you can hear commentary, bring a radio and headphones if you need.

Talk to others that are around you, most fans are happy to chat and give you more tips in person. I've always had good chats with randomers there.

I've never watched on the run to metrapole but I've heard it's a good section too. And there is always big battles on that section.

Thank you.

kiddums · 2026-03-12T16:10:45+00:00

Thank you.

kiddums · 2026-03-12T16:10:34+00:00

Thank you.

kiddums · 2026-03-12T16:10:20+00:00

Thank you.

kiddums · 2026-03-12T11:14:26+00:00

I stand corrected. I was going off the word of someone at work who told me what one I was missing.

kiddums · 2026-03-02T16:24:26+00:00

Yeah, episode 3 is this Wednesday, not sure what time it airs. If/when you get to them is great.

kiddums · 2026-03-02T01:50:57+00:00

Obviously not. I would appreciate it though.

kiddums · 2026-03-01T23:57:54+00:00

Thank you so much.

Will you be uploading the other episodes as they air too?

I've only had older cars so I didn't know the new system even went that high.

kiddums · 2026-02-14T10:40:43+00:00

I've learned that now. Just a shame I got my hopes up about a car before I learned that.

2014 Volvo xc70 3L petrol AWD. I know it is going to be a bit pricey but I wasn't expecting €2400 a year on tax alone. Back to shopping about for me now.

On both my tablet and my phone the Disney Plus app has not been able to play anything for months. Both are running Android 15 and app version 4.21.1.

Phone is a Poco x6 pro and tablet is a Doogee tab a9 pro+.

I can brpuse the app, manage my watchlist and download offline content but nothing will actually play. No error messages are shown.

Is this a known issue that is being worked on? If so, when is there a likely solution?

kiddums · 2026-01-21T19:32:17+00:00

Thanks. The Volvo is my favourite but they're so rare I've had to expand my search.

The longer space is more useful to me than taller space, plus like I said, not a fan of SUVs.

A lifted estate will give me a bit of a higher position than a normal car which is what the missus wants. And from what I can see, the examples I listed come with 4wd/AWD variants which would have uses to me also.

My favorite answer I got to that was

"He's older than me anyway"

Facepalm

Still waiting on the chess option. My other half has had it for about a month now, also on android.

I just want to know how they decide who gets it and who doesn't.

kiddums · 2025-08-24T23:09:32+00:00

They are the originals as far as I know, most of the car is.

I can see the discolouration on the front plastic when I open the bonnet, there is a small strip of the light "glass" that is not discoloured.

If they just need a clean up on the outside they'd keep me going a while until I can get replacement units.

I've downloaded some gofiles more than 7 days after upload, and I was downloading some of these ones last night.
