From the Ad I thought it was fairly top end price anyway. Deservedly so for the mileage but it certainly wasn't worth more.

might be worth asking to see what they'd let it go for. Could have it rebuilt in a day providing i've got all the parts on hand. Or source another complete lump to drop in.

mmmmm would have to leave it completely standard though. Maybe even change the wheels for the standard grey 5 spokes. Just so happen to have a mint set kicking around.

Matt,

I'm fairly sure that in this situation you do actually have a legally binding verbal contract, however proving it would be difficult and it prob would not be worth the agro.

Therefore I would us the well known legal response, suggested by my solicitor for just such a situation. The filter does dilute the content slightly but you get the jist.

Tell him **** the **** right off. In fact take a picture of your middle finger and email it to him with the words "**** off you ****ing ****er".
