    What type of car and who is the dealer?

    I found a 02 Passat that was clocked a few weeks ago as well. It said 65K on the clock but it was really 188k miles!!

    No I've no link. HPI was the best £19 I ever spent. The car was on sale for €12000 and it looked immaculate. I couldn't find any signs of high mileage at all.

    Same thing happened a mate of mine. He printed out a load of leaflets and posted them to the nearby houses telling people about the garage, he also pasted them up all over the front door of the garage! lol

    Consult a solicitor. It may not be too late.

    Its a Honda Civic Type R. Going through the solicitor at the minute but reckon it'll be a long dragged out affair.
