Yep, ever so slightly. Have you reported the item yet? It's easily done.

It's also an important lesson to not just blindly trust any dealer service stamps in a service book. I always make sure that I call up the dealer in question to confirm that the service book is correct.

I'm sure there are plenty of online retailers who would make up any "stamp" you wanted yes

There is a 'Report Item' link half way down the right hand side of page. I've already done it but the more, the merrier.

This link should take you directly to the correct page:

Has anybody had dealings with Stratstone Hagley in the past? It might be worth notifying them directly.

Oooh, oooh, let me bite, please...

Custard? Or, more to the point, why do you bother with your attempted wind-ups?

The thing is, unless this item is stolen then there isn't any reason why it can't be sold or owned (AM logo copyright notwithstanding). It's only if it is used in an attempt to defraud by deliberately misrepresenting a falsified service history does it become an offence.

But if you really want to be Mr Serious, then crack on.
