    It seems that the main mod had a word, don't know what happened to the seller, but the thread was deleted etc

    I will post the reel back if I am paid postage or the seller sends a courier to pick it up, I won't be out of pocket

     

    Oh and Andy, modman sent this message

    Oh and by the way, please tell Andy that I am actually the administrator for the site and can change anything and everything.
    Create forums and everything.
    I thought his post was amusing, and shows just how little he actually knows.

    That is very bad. Why, if the reel has been misrepresented, do they (does he) need to shut down the thread? Makes no sense to me.

    I've sent him a reply and also posted some pics on the reel ad 

    Told him it doesn't reflect well on the seller or the site if nothing is done 

    Oh the drama 😆

    My thread has been closed and I've had a PM of nick phillips saying that although he agrees that it was misrepresented, no forum rules had been broken

    If the ad is still running I'll put a couple of pics of the reel on there

    Maybe stop some other gullible twat from getting caught

    Touch wood, my 57 reg LR Sport 3.6TDV8 is a super vehicle, and in my opinion one of the best tow vehicles around. Geoff. ☺️

    I hope you have the Unicorn of RR's, 1 new gear box in mine before I bought it and another after about 3 yrs of ownership

    Plus the air suspension pump (fixed myself for £25) and an airbag (suspension)

    I got off quite lightly really, Oh and around 19 mpg

    What section is the post in, I can’t see it on private mode. They won’t let me in anymore for some reason. Probably to do with COVID or something. 

    I put it on chatter, it's where all the egos live

    Mine was a Disco 2 TD5. After I went through new ball joints x2, air suspension bags x2, a major service, a new gearbox and a weeping core plug all in the space of 6 months I got rid of it.

    They say the two best days in a boat owners life are they day you buy it and the day you sell it... the same was true for my LR ownership.

    I agree with that, also add Range Rover to the list

    How the fuck are they still making them so unreliable

    Thanks. I'm hoping to find somewhere that is still lively and informative although I might not always have a great deal of knowledge to add.

    There are some knowledgeable people on here and then there's the rest of us, clueless but up for a bit of craic

    His full name is Norman Berry he used to be the owner/editor/producer of a free sea fishing rag called "Sea Angling News" distributed through tackle shops.

    He is also apparently a freelance reviewer of fishing tackle,  I think he needs to purchase some glasses (should have gone to specsavers)

     

    Go nail him or his reputation

    I see you've replied on there, cheers 👍

    I'm trying to get a bigger audience and then I'll name him

    He's sold loads of tackle on there all given for review no doubt

    And so you should. Terrible that he thinks it’s acceptable. 
    Name and shame the twat

    I put a post up with pics, but no poll

    I'm just gathering an audience atm and a fair few of the usual suspects have replied, I'm waiting for a mod to get interested

    This shit stirring is well worth 75 quid, it's quite enjoyable 

    No one has asked a name yet

    He has god like status unfortunately, he worked on some fishing periodical. Has he mentioned it? 

    No he hasn't

    I will put a post up with a poll attached and ask them to describe the condition, then explain why 😇

    I shouldn't really be bothered, but I will

    Hope your not tiling on that 9mm board!

    No boss, aqua board in wet area, it's only 9mm as it's so tight to get an 800 tray in

    I always (well, apart from this job) use 1/2 " backer in any wet areas, whether it's tiled or sheeted

    With a classi seal on edge of tray

    I have reels that are 25 plus years old in better condition and I'm not fanatical about maintenance either

    No worries, I'll put it down to experience

    But if I lived a bit closer, I'd find the prick and ram the reel down his throat

    How old is it? Did he include any pics with the advert?

    No pics (it's obvious why now) He just told me it's 8 yrs old

    That's what you get for being too trusting I spose

    I'll see how I get on with Paypal after I raise a dispute
