  1. Hey everyone, I’m on looking for a first car for my daughter's birthday and noticed a 2022 Fiat 500 on FB Marketplace posted by Lamsam Logistics. At first blush I thought I was dealing with a private seller, but it turns out I’ve stumbled upon a Belfast based transport company that’s also in the business of selling repossessed vehicles. They’ve thrown their hat in the ring with home delivery to Somerset, promising it’ll be on your doorstep in a week to ten days. That all sounds like pie in the sky but I’m feeling a bit like a cat on a hot tin roof about shelling out cash before laying my eyes on the car. Has anyone walked this road before? Or did you actually bite the bullet and buy from them? I’m all ears to get the lowdown on the process, payment, and vehicle details. Your thoughts would be worth their weight in gold.
  2. I settled the remaining balance today, and I'll keep everyone in the loop!

  4. I’ve taken the bull by the horns and settled the deposit invoice this morning.
  5. Weren't you biting your nails about sending any money before the car hit the road from Northern Ireland?
  6. This is my main worry, as I've never taken the plunge on a car online without laying my eyes on it first. I usually cast my net wide across different platforms for local cars and then hit the pavement to check them out in person. However, my daughter seems head over heels for this car, and I want to make sure that Lamsam Logistics are on the up and up and not pulling the wool over our eyes, if you catch my drift.
  7. It can only be attributed to a poor connection. When you jump-start it, are you utilising the jump point located under the hood? Inspect the ground connection as well as the one on the engine.
  8. We also experienced a leaking windscreen.
  9. Thank you, but the issue existed before to the chain; it is an occasional error. It can last for days without occurring, and then it will. Additionally, I am alarmed by the local garage's report that someone had their chain replaced, only for it to fail again within a year.
  10. Hello, I hail from Cheshire, United Kingdom. Regrettably, I have recently lost my husband, who possessed a 2016 diesel Evoque. During the most recent MOT, it was noted that a minor rattle was audible from the timing chain. The vehicle has travelled 67,000 miles. The replacement of the chain and related components incurred a cost of £3000. My spouse was unwell at that time; he just drove the car back from the garage and never drove again. He stated prior to his demise that I am It is presumed that you will retain the Evoque given the financial investment made in it. I appreciate the automobile; yet, I am somewhat apprehensive after reviewing the negative reports regarding the Ingenium engines. My emotions convey one message while my intellect communicates another. It exhibits an intermittent malfunction whereby releasing the accelerator results in the vehicle maintaining or increasing speed until the accelerator is pressed again. I am apprehensive that the chain may break again or that the turbo may fail. What should I do? I would like to retain it, but I fear it may become a financial burden. My vehicle is a Nissan Juke.
  11. Thank you; the swap has already been checked and is not the issue. The infotainment system lacks electricity; but, after removing and reinserting the fuse, it resumes operation, allowing me to toggle it on and off using the power switch.
  12. Greetings to everybody! Occasionally, my radio-satellite navigation equipment fails to activate. After I interrupt a circuit (by removing and reinserting the fuse or disconnecting the battery for charging), functionality is restored; but, after a few days of use, the issue reoccurs. Has anybody had a similar issue? What may be defective and need replacement?
