We'll see if this is true when I inspect it. (Spoiler alert: it's not true!)

1. If Mr. Smith is the genuine, salt of the earth person he portrays himself as, why doesn't he arrange for me to inspect his vehicle in Durham? I will pay the Garage for an hour on a lift or a ramp.
2. Mr. Smith says he is going to take me to court. I have already made him aware that under court rules as a sole trader I am considered an individual and so the case will be heard in my home court of Coventry. That means two trips to Coventry for Mr. Smith. One for the pre-trial nonsense and then when the case is actually heard. He must know all this because his deposit cheque was drawn on a firm of solicitors. I'm guessing that his wife is a solicitor. So if he is prepared to make two trips to Coventry why is he not prepared to make just one trip to my premises to let me carry out rectification?

This thread isn't really going anywhere past rehashing what was said in the first few pages.

Both sides have had their fair say and people can make up their own minds.

If either @cachophrastus or @Richie24hr have anything significant to add PM me but until then this thread is now closed.
