Bendy 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Only probs with 2nd hand ones is you have no idea what state they are in. sure a clean looking set of coilovers may "look like new" but they could be facked inside!!! Wouldnt want someone getting stiffed on egay or worse for that matter. Just imho i'd get new 1's rob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex303 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Ok, this might help, had a similar problem sometime ago so did a search on the web for translation software and found a program that lets you translate German into English & English back German etc. You can download a free demo version for about 30 days (adds itself into MS Word on your PC as another tab) after which you've gotta register & pay (so should give you enough time to use it for free then just un-install it). The softwares called 'Translution' its not perfect as the Translation kind of reads a bit like 'Pidgeon english' in places but its better than nothing, and helped me understand what the guy was selling exactly. Basically you just cut & paste the txt from the e-bay add into Word & then run this Transultion software! Same goes if you want to send the seller a message just write it out in english & then translate to German & cut / paste into the send messages tab.....like i said definitely not perfect but better than nothing! its websites http://www.translution.com/ p.s. make sure you you've got 'system restore' switched on in Windows XP (before you install) so if you want to get rid of the whole thing afterwards (i had a problem un-installing it) you can just roll back your PC's setup a couple of days or weeks.
