Quite simply don't let anyone give you a slating for breaking a fine car fella. As there is a reason for a break.

Cheers
Tony

Default breaking

Hi all. I too cant see a problem with this thread . My tourer is getting old, Polly will be 13 yrs old this year. With the help of Jules, I am hoping Polly is going to be around for a couple of years . Will there be a tear in my eye, you bet there will . If it all for the good of the "75" model, people do not know what they missing out on. I am not a regular poster a such, but just to visit here if I have a problem and I usually sorted. You can fix summat that's broken, but there is a fine line.

Just sold a new Thermostat housing, radiator fan and a new condenser to a 75 Taxi owner .

Present mileage 440k still going strong !!

He's owned many different cars as Taxis and this is by far the cheapest to keep on the road than other makes and he's tried them all.

Half a million miles by next year you wait and see.

No need to scrap these cars just because they need run of the mill MOT stuff.
ie
Springs
Brake pipes
Lower front arms
Lower bushes

The point I was making was the traders on then do not like non traders breaking cars and if you state your breaking a car and not a trader 'then your breaking the club rules'! And you will get emails from traders having a go at you!
'Been there and done it'.
So 'breakers' on here have the sole right on selling parts ?

Without doubt they're doing a good job keeping cars on the road, but sometimes it can be more profitable to sell the parts yourself

Need to read up on the club rules I think

Found it
Quote:
14. For Sale & Wanted Sections
We are keen to ensure that the ability to buy and sell items is as easy and convenient as possible to all people who frequent the club, so anyone can view the For Sale & Wanted sections. However, due to continued abuse by opportunists and profiteers there are some important points with which you are required to comply.

14.1 Use of the For sale section is for Subscribed Members and Subscribed Traders only. If you wish to advertise an item in this section you are required to subscribe as a member or Trader. To do this, click on the Subscribe button at the top of any forum page (Potential Traders need to contact a Moderator first via PM or the Contact Us button for full instructions and options). The club cannot be held liable for any adverts published for the sale of goods and or services, either by members or by any other organisation

Members listing allowance
Subscribed members = unlimited items per month *subject to a fair use policy
Unsubscribed members = 0 items per month
Subscribed traders = unlimited items per month

Fair Use Policy
Whilst we are keen to see members help fellow members by placing their unwanted items in the for sale section, the unlimited allowance of items for Red Subscribed members will be subject to a fair use policy. This refers to any member who repeatedly uses these forums exclusively for the listing of goods or services and little else.

In such cases, posting history will be reviewed and a judgement made on whether a particular member is just using our boards as a business platform to turn a profit. In such cases a trader subscription will be required, or listed items will be removed and additional steps taken.

This rule has had to be introduced in order to protect the value of the trading subscription on our boards for those who pay a premium to make a living here and in so doing, help to support the club in meeting it's financial liabilities.
14.2 Items posted for sale must carry the asking price. Asking for offers is not allowed. However, the only exception to this rule is when selling a vehicle as a whole, then the use of ONO or OVNO is permissible, as this is acceptable practice when selling cars
Think it comes down to what is 'fair use'

What cracks me up is 'Unlimited subject to fair use' which actually means 'Limited'

And what about traders helping members, not mentioned in the rules? Only their financial contribution to the 'club' seems to be of concern.

Sort of the problem you'd expect when enthusiast forum goes Ltd. company

Well............that's me banned

If you want to break a car and use its bits and sell the remains then go for it.

Don't let the puppet masters and bullies on here who think they know best tell you what to do.

You will be frowned upon for half a hour then it will be forgotten about.
