i would be nice to have something a little different to the rest

Lazy-Ferret · 25-03-2013, 21:30

Well, this will be a learning curve... I hope it is OK.

Just trying to sort out how to get it from where it is, back to here, as I will probably have to tow it, as I do not want to insure it until after Easter.

I wondered if it will fit on the towing Dolly, that will give the T2 something to think about...

I like your thinking...

Last time I looked into 1 day insurance, it was about the cost of 4 months of proper insurance.

clivvy · 25-03-2013, 22:05

woah, you bought it??!!!! Nice one fella, im well chuffed for you!! Cant wait to see pics, and hear your report. I really hope its as good as described mate

spiderpig37 · 25-03-2013, 22:23

It cost me 22quid to insure a merc vito for 24hrs a few weeks back so i could drive it back different trucks but might be worth looking at think i did it through a compare site

Fez_uk · 25-03-2013, 22:24

Cost me about £40 to insure my 90 to drive it back for 1 day.

Looks like you might be right, I have tried to contacted him twice now, and got no reply...

I can't believe you would not be watching the auction end, let alone checking it very soon after, so no reply to an email 24 hours later kind of gets me worried..

Don't suppose any of you guys wrote the phone number down when it was on the advert?

spiderpig37 · 27-03-2013, 00:28

Has maverick fox got a number he said he tried ringing them
Bit rich when he says he has legal insurance to cover non payers when he doesnt get in touch
I would give it a while longer and then report no contact to ebay

I Sent Maverick Fox a PM, but he has not been on since I sent it.

Like you say, a bit rich... We won't be able to collect it till after Easter now, as we are away for the weekend, but I did tell him that in both the emails.

spiderpig37 · 27-03-2013, 03:54

Hope it turns out ok in the end looks like a nice truck

Lazy-Ferret · 28-03-2013, 00:45

Good news, the guy has got back to me, and seems to have a good excuse for the delay as well. We talked for a while, and he seems really nice, and happy to tell you absolutely anything about it. It has all it's paper work, including a cross reference parts list, so I should then know which UK Nissan vehicle I need to ask for the parts from.

Only down side so far, is the spare wheel carrier was removed and lost, so it does not have a spare wheel, or anywhere to put it.

We pick it up on Friday.

He said that someone drove from Devon to have a look, who was a Nissan Terrano fan, was it someone from this forum?

spiderpig37 · 28-03-2013, 06:16

Good news
I think you can pick those swing away spare wheel carriers up no problems
Landrovers tend to fit them to take the weight off the back doors

clivvy · 28-03-2013, 09:04

excellent news, really excited for you. I dont think there is a single club member with one of these?

Yeah, the spare wheel carrier should be obtainable from somewhere, or you will just have to stick it in the boot for now or on the roof, or on the side, or on the bonnet....!!!
