....
Ordered a new cabby roof over ebay from Germany due today
Ordered some sport check seats and a leccy window mech from BMbitz due today
Ordered a roof cover seal from Preston Hall BMW due Tuesday gone.

The roof won't be sent until the echeque clears on 11th October!
The seats that I gave my card details for still have not been sent, there is a mark on them and despite twice saying that is okay over the phone, I have to confirm in writing- I got the email at 5.15 tonight.
I sat in today waiting for them to come and only found out at 3.00 that I'd be free to go out because nothing was being delivered. So I went to Preston Hall (33 miles away, but near to my work). And they had ordered me the wrong bloody seal!!!! I even showed the kid the seal on the car.

What a waste of a day.
Still managed to buy a new stat and the temp sender/ temp sensor as well as a washer nozzle. No time to fit the buggers though!

If those seats don't arrive tomorrow they can get ;oinfq3vlknve;okcljhbcx

Easier method for buying from Germany is to get their bank details and do an electronic transfer of funds. Lot quicker and only costs a little to do !!!

Good luck with seats !!!

Tried it, Barclays wanted Ԛ£35 quid and then the German bank may have wanted a fee.
On top of it all I had to pay Ԛ£16 for the privelidge of using paypal. Grrrrr!

sounds like the mark on the seats could be a convenient excuse for a delay,hoping that youd refuse to take them! best speaking to older guys in any dealer,young folk dont have the knowledge or experience for older cars,or any interest...usually, (no offence if your a young one yourself :D ) good luck anyway.

jimbob, I have resized it and it looks nice and small on my machine. If it continues to be a problem I'll whip it off.
