Just discovered a German expert who is really partial to Porsche; I may drop by and introduce myself. Trusted German Auto Solutions for All Your Porsche Needs in Leicester and Rutland

I can't remember the name of the topic, but it's about independent music in and around the UK.

I understand.Thank you, I will have a look. Per my post for newbies...Please share whatever information you have on reliable suppliers of parts, suggestions for wheel refurbishment, how-to guides, etc., because I am an amateur mechanic working on a project car in my driveway. No less so on an E91 / M47N2..320d. All is okay thus far with the excellent information obtained from this forum's thread expertise, Touch Noggin. Just in case I find up in a situation where my skills are inadequate, I was hoping someone could suggest a reliable independent BMW specialist in my area. Area of Rutland LE15. It would be most appropriate to start a new thread with that title, right?

If you're looking for filters for any machine, go no further than TJ Filters.For some years now, I've utilised them on a variety of vehicles.

Yes, I was only looking for some honest feedback because I needed an oil filter today and, out of curiosity, I decided to check out Halfords since I was parking near it. The stockrooms were too full of bikes, numberplates, and tents to have one in stock, but you can order a Bosch for £6.88 (including shipping) and pick it up the next day online. I spent £11.11 (excl. tax) at NAPA Auto Parts, the only store in the area. So, the pricing is fairly reasonable.

In my opinion, a good place to get name-brand components is from a distributor like Parts in Motion. Filters supplied by BMW original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) Mahle, Mann, and Hengst. Once again, it's a popular brand of oil, and many of them are BMW LL 04 spec. Oils by Opie are reasonably priced. Does Halfords offer very low prices? Maybe I'm being too pessimistic, but I seriously doubt it.

Hello, I was wondering if I was correct in assuming that Halfords sells genuine OEM parts for vintage BMWs. I have recently verified that all of the oil, filters, coolants, etc., conform to BMW OEM standards. Example of a coolant: G11/LC-87, developed to meet the specifications of earlier BMW models. Oil - Halfords 5W30 N9 commercial motor oil, developed to match BMW Longlife-04 standards You may match the oil filter to the OEM style of your BMW! I figured I'd use my trade card (I got one through my carpentry business) to get a discount on any near-by, off-the-shelf items, but what if they sell OEM parts? Should I use it? Please understand..While I appreciate doing what's right for the environment, I fail to see the value in shelling out exorbitant sums for name-brand items when there is such a fantastic substitute. Much like the Febi vs. BMW own case. Who has ideas?

good!

Absolutely from first enquiry through to delivery, everything happened pretty much as explained. If they keep operating like this, I imagine they'll build quite a strong reputation in the repossessed vehicle market.

Not gonna lie, I expected this thread to end differently. These days every other story online seems to involve somebody getting scammed. Fair play to Zolee Logistics if they're doing things properly.

Well that's encouragin looks like I might finally give Zolee Logistics a call tomorrow about that Volvo.

Brilliant news! Enjoy it!

Evening all, the 3008 arrived this morning, the lorry driver called several times with updates and arrived exactly when he said he would. The Peugeot looks exactly like the pics and description no unexpected damage no warning lights. Massive thanks to everyone who replied in this thread because it genuinely helped me make the decision. My wife has already claimed it as her car!

I'm following this because they've got a Volvo V60 Cross Country listed that I'm quite interested in.

Hope it goes smoothly always appreciate when people come back and update these threads rather than disappearing

Hi everyone I've decided to proceed with the purchase, we'll keep all infromed

Last summer I purchased a repossessed 2022 Seat Ateca from Zolee Logistics, the whole thing sounded questionable at first. Low price, bank transfer, vehicle unseen etc. Every warning sign imaginable, yet everything actually happened exactly as they described. Vehicle arrived after about eight days.I inspected it, had my mechanic look over it and eventually decided to keep it. Sometimes genuine deals do still exist.

To be fair, I felt the same, but that's exactly why the inspection period exists. You still have the opportunity to get a mechanic involved before making your final decision.

I still struggle with the concept of buying a vehicle online even when companies have positive reviews. Maybe I'm just paranoid!

Mine was split into two payments. Reservation amount first, and then around two days later they sent the balance invoice before dispatch. What reassured me was their explanation about the segregated company account.

That's useful to know did you have to send the entire payment before delivery?

I can actually help here, bought a Landy Discovery 5 through Zolee Logistics around three months ago and honestly, I expected something to go wrong because the price looked suspiciously low compared with dealer price but Zolee Logistics explained the vehicle had come from a finance recovery auction. Delivery ended up taking nine days and once it arrived, I had the full 14 day testing. My local garage checked it thoroughly and gave it a clean bill of health. In the end I kept it!!!

Hi, Can't comment on the vehicle sales side, but we've used Zolee Logistics through work. We shipped industrial equipment from Northern Ireland into France last year. Everything arrived on schedule and communication was excellent throughout and based purely on the logistics side, they seemed very professional. Rgds
