Anyone in that locale know anything about them? Good, bad or indifferent? They have a nice-looking W202 C220 CDi on their website (www.prestigediesels.co.uk) which I'm considering going to look at. Just wondered if there is any local knowledge on here about them.

TIA, David

Hello mate.

Only just seen this thread after being away for a day. They are only about a mile from me, I could do a reccy for you if you like?????

Portzy,

That would be fantastic if you could. :rock::bannana:

Potentially it could save me a wasted journey down from Carlisle!!

Much appreciated,

David
 
OK, Its Morrisons tomorrow morning and this place is just over the road so I'll pop over. Anything specific that you want me to checkout?, general appearence, staff, warranties, etc?.

Check that the glass is the same brand on each window, check the spare wheel/tyre, check for toolkit and first-aid kit. Check panel alignment and dents/scratches/stone chips or other paint damage. Take a peek in the engine bay and look for any signs of oil or other rubbish (see earlier salt deposit thread ;) ). Check driver's seat wear, steering wheel and shift knob wear. Check everything electrical works, won't take you a minute from the driver's seat.

Take a camera with you and takes loads of pics!

How's that for a start? :)

is it? where abouts. i kept thinking it was motorhouse but i didnt say antying coz i didnt know where it was.

i drove passed the old Alpha Romeo dealers t'other day. the one that became a pet food shop down from More Reasons. its a restuarant now. Bit like the AFC Nissan dealer that turned into Murgatroyds.

Round there Bradford Road Idle becomes Idle Road Bradford and so on. Their web site wont load up for me at the mo proabably because I'm at work, (sob sob), so I will look tonight at home. You should have said you were so close, I'd have put the kettle on:D

Shude. I'll do my best;)

mite try and find it on my way home from Greens this evening!

actually am rummaging thru Google earth to find it now.

but the pic seems to be 2003.

and another point. It was named enterprise 5 or E5 as it was known as 5 lane ends...but there is 6 lanes there! even the pub changed to The Lane Ends!

there is one hell of a quarry round the side of my house, looking from the air that is. well nearly next to it anyway.

and that web site wont open for me either


still cant open the site but found the delaer. it used to be a motorhome dealer, dont know when it changed. but it will be some years ago. i dont know anything about the dealer and have not heard anything either. been around some years tho.

Found it, its on the other side of the five lane ends roudabout, towards Undercliffe.

OK, Its mettalic burgundy with a beige cloth interior, the inside is quite clean and doesnt seem to have been owned by a smoker before, the bonnet and wing fronts, to be honest, are well stone chipped and some of theses have been left to fester and rust has started, they have been touched up, but not very well, but you can see the rust beneath, the boot lid has some chips and small dents also and these have been touched up, the body work below the waistline rubbing strip has definately seen a recent respray and the alloys are chipped badly and also milky in lots of places, also there is a bit of rust still evident on the arches, the engine bay is spotless and there was no mayonaise in the oil cap or inside the oil filler opening, it also has aftermarket stereo., there is an aledged FMBSH.


It was right at the back of the showroom so it could not be run or driven, the lot itself seems a bit 'Frank Butcher' or Patrick Trueman, ala Eastenders if you know what I mean!

Thats about as much as I can tell you really but, tbh, it does not seem to be a genuine 'nice clean example' when you see it close up from the outside.

Regards.

Dave.
 
Dave,

Much appreciated. You've saved me a journey and I owe you a pint. :rock::rock::rock:

Your're welcome, anytime mate.

As scumbag says, its Charlotte Church at some sort of awards ceremony and I blagged it from the BBC website. Some folks thought it was my missus at first:D but I said "she's prettier".:rolleyes: Mrs P does look on here now and again;) !

thats the dream answer to the question you aske just after you pick up the phone and say, "who is it please?"


i would even throw Paris Hilton out of the house if Charlotte called round for tea!

now all i need to do is get Paris round so as i can throw her out when Charlotte calls! and perhaps if someone could let charlotte know where i live!

:cool:
