I know there's a section in the classifieds for Morgan Aero's, but it doesn't appear on the classifieds page.

There is another problem as well. If you go into the classified section (1st page) where all the listings are, the number of cars next to the model description is not tallying up with the number of cars when you actually view the model.

For example

TVR Tuscan says there are 44 cars listed on the listings page but when you go into the TVR tuscan listings it is only showing up 21 cars.

This is happening on ferrari F430 as well.

Audi R8 shows up 35 on the listings and there are only 25 cars when you go into the listings.

I haven't checked all the make's and model's but my guess is there is a problem with alot of the listings at the moment.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe any are listed on PH at the moment, hence no category.

If you're in the market I would recommend ringing dealers and asking them to contact you in the first instance something comes in - since the Aero 8 was discontinued they've become very popular with collectors (as any garage will tell you), and I was beaten to two cars during my search, finally buying one with the perfect spec over the phone, without viewing it in the flesh. I thoroughly recommend the Aero though, an amazingly unique car, and potentially an investment!

The whole classifieds section is up the swanny - loads of recent adverts have disappeared. I am sticking to the 2010 theory!

Actually, you could be right - browsing this evening, I found categories which showed vehicles but contained no ads whatsoever. frown

So is anyone actually looking at this or are the administrators all on holiday?

I emailed adverts@pistonheads.com and got the following automated reply -

The PistonHeads offices are currently closed for the Christmas break. A reduced volume of emails will be answered during the holiday period, and the rest will be replied to when we return on the 4th of January.

In the meantime, remember that most questions can be answered by visiting our FAQ by clicking below:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this delay and wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year.

Kind regards,

The PistonHeads Team


So I guess they are all out hooning until Monday

We are not back from the Christmas break until Monday, but Pete and I do pop regularly to keep any eye on the technical side of things, as do Garlick and Stuart to look after the moderation/business side.

Once Mrs Will gets home from work and can take care of our daughter I'll take a look and see if it can be fixed from here. Failing that it will be my first priority on Monday morning.

Hope that's okay! smile

Can we get an update on this Mr Will? Did it work or do we need to wait until Monday
