    'Could be clocked, then again maybe not' is in no way accusing anybody lads. No need for any of this to be aired in public at all, nobody here is of the belief that the car is clocked as can be seen from the replies above

    Probably best for all 3 to take it to pm's in fairness given people are getting worked up over it

    Are you a moderator here now?.. Confab put this into the public domain and he can stand by, or fall by his words as far as I'm concerned.
    In fairness he said it, you replied and if it goes further both parties may regret it.

    It's friendly advice but by all means do it in public and give the regulars a late night laugh.

    He isn't a boards mod but you are, and as such you should know better than attacking the poster and not the post.

    I did not accuse you of clocking the car. I just said it might've been clocked. The car is straight, genuine and running well, but I simply wanted the Motors regulars opinions on this issue. I do agree that it's unlikely and as I highlighted in one of my posts above, FiatECUScan can report mileage incorrectly. End of story.

    It doesn't take a lot to read between the lines. In my opinion you held back on the clocking comment as you knew I follow the motors threads. As for what my father said, I do regret selling the car to you. I thought I was selling the car to someone who was going to take care of the car and put the money into it that I didnt have, but instead your playing around with the timing belt, have crashed it twice and half dried the engine of oil.

    I know its not my business what you do with the car, but you made it my business when "suggested" it may have been clocked.

    No its not, its someone sitting on the fence and casting doubt on the seller of the car, and there's not a snowballs chance in hell I'll let that go.

    I know people here don't believe the car was clocked.

    In fairness, for Confab to cast doubt as to whether or not I have clocked the car even if it is only 5,000 miles is enough for me to make a comment.

    Think you would do the same yourself, if put in the same situation.

    Ok well put it this way, there's a discrepency in the ECU mileage, is the owner of the car not allowed to question that? The chap has every right to question it or ask opinion here on it. You or Kevvv are not above reproach

    Princess Mealy Sabotage wrote: »
    I have absolutely no doubt what so ever that my word would be doubted, hence I'm here.

    It had already been passed by and the concensus was that it's an ECU issue rather than clocking, you guys dragged it up and to be perfectly honest are coming out of this worse than Confab, you making underlying personal digs at him which aren't on. I'm surprised at you tbh Mak, although I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one because you're clearly just trying to defend your son as any father would

    I'd appreciate both of you moderating your tone on this subject, I accused neither of you of anything, directly or indirectly. Nobody else here knew who the seller of the car was and I didn't mention it to anyone else here - your son pointed out that he was the previous owner.

    There's no reading between the lines here, I got the opinion from the Motors forum that it probably wasn't clocked and that's fine with me.

    I have nothing more to say about the matter, I asked a question and got an answer.

    I wish I had my laptop now. I'd post a picture of a dog in a funny hat looking at a clock all confused to calm everyone down

    Unfortunately im back in cork now and back to suckyness again :(

    3 observations from dublin:
    They actually know how to drive there
    They feckin love their 520d's
    Theres a sickening amount of taxis

    Don't forget the cyclists, Grafton st acts, the virtually abandoned shopping centre, the tiny donut place just off abbey street, Leo Burdocks and Café en Seine :D

    Next time your up, get a rambler card and go bananas on the busses. Student discount FTW!!! :D

    Yes, I spend a lot of time in the big shmoke myself as I go to college in Kevin st ;)

    Cool, next time you should really choose your words more carefully.

    Btw he was the previous owner. It was he who put the leather into it, the alloys, new tires and all the other bits and bobs.

    Anyway, best not to go talking about crap online and not expect it to go bite you in the arse.. Your post was wrong, I'm sure you won't do it again.

    And with that I'm off to bed.

    Glad you got the answer you were looking for, could have just gave me a text or a PM rather than air it out in the public though. If you enjoy the car half as much as I did you'll love it!
