This is very unfortunate and hope can all be resolved in the spirit of forum etiquette.

IMHO even if the sale was a genuine oversight after he bought as genuine a2 items in the spirit of sale of goods it should be responsibility of vendor to resolve. I assume you have checked images of the initial advert by previous vendor? I would hope to see the admin team step in here as both parties will need impartial support.

I hope the young man in mention reflects if he has been disrespectful and comes good as it is a shame from someone who is a passionate enthusiast on here.

good luck in sorting this.

Let’s not get the “ Today I..” thread locked, it’s one of my favourites. Let’s hope you can all resolve the issue in private and amicable manor.
 
I suspect the mats in mention are possibly for LHD Audi a2s.

sincerely hope for both parties who are regular enthusiasts on here a resolution is forthcoming swiftly.
 
Agreed. The team are aware and will help so far as we are able to mediate. Can I please request that this thread does not descend into something unwieldily and posts in ‘Today I...’ revert back to the topic in hand.

Yes I hope so to ..especially as I have payed a premium of £165 for a product that’s not correct only fair for a full refund to be issued and said items collected ASAP ..

The issue is in progress with the Admin team, we are engaged in full and frank dialogue via PM with the affected club member. Meanwhile, mindful of the nature and tone of some of the preceding responses they have been edited to be more suitable for a public forum.
 
Today I fitted a new wiper arm and blade (wow how easy is it to change the blade) repaired the glovebox switch and fitted a Glovebox repair blade supplied by Depronman :) and changed the interior lighting to LED's except the vanity lights still got them to do once I get the LED's. checked the rear brake shoes to find them cracked across the both shoes between rivets (is it a common fault) so ordered new shoes and fitting kit, just weighing up if I should change the drums as well. That's all for today as it got dark :(
 
Got Mabel out of storage as taking her for new tyres tomorrow in preparation for her MOT in a couple of weeks.

Getting back in her after a while made me realise that I really miss driving her. Barney is such a bag of spanners compared to Mabel. They are the same age and only about 15,000 miles difference between them, but my girl has aged much better than my boy!.

I shall keep her out for a few weeks I think ?
 
Tried to get new tyres fitted to Mabel, but because buying tyres is pants, the ones I had ordered hadn't arrived in time ?
They were very apologetic and will chase up tomorrow. It's a pain as I'm so restricted when I can go

You really don't seem to have much luck with buying tyres. Hope you get sorted.

Having only recently rejoined this forum after a long sabbatical if you don't mind me asking, why is Barney such a bag of spanner’s compared to Mabel?
 
Today I cleaned my wiper blades with white vinegar.

I cleaned the windscreen and floppy blade thoroughly, I then added added white vinegar to hot water and cleaned the blade again. Now as good as new and streak free.

I’ve been doing this for years and I haven’t had to purchase a wiper blade in...... now 23 years despite keeping cars between 3-5 years on average. Let’s see how long I can make this one last knowing I expect to keep this A2 forever.

A fantastic no cost fix and sticking to that New Years resolution of keeping spend to minimal or nothing (save for a replacement interior motion sensor switch).
