I already did link him this thread but he claimed a 'volvo engineer' had told him it was a T-5R lol

I see with this second listing he has just created a new user name. Before it was thewoodworm2011 and now its stuart.stu

What a pillock!

Problem is though, not everyone does!

Some people see the 250BHP and go blind and hand over the cash for what they think is an R.... then they come along and join here and think WTF!!!

I know before I bought mine (Not and R mind you!) I lurked about on here for months getting info, pestering people, reading articles etc before buying and I still do lurk about, pester and read because we all have problems with our motors at some point! Fact is people on here 99% of the time will be genuine and honest and this may not be what the seller (or buyer!) in this case wants to hear!

Ho hum, rant over... back to me 'ole!

The listing has apparently been removed, can't say if the seller or Ebay removed
it.

Didn't I read somewhere this morning it was re-listed?

If so, may as well bid £100,000 for it, when the auction finishes, refuse it on the basis its a fake and does not match the description details lol
