    Happy to have been proved wrong.  The one you've seen may be a reconned model but that makes no difference if it does the job.
    Yeah I should've said really :D It was a recon one through their own eBay account.

    Not too bothered to be honest. I'd rather get a recon one from the actual manufacturer with a 12 month warranty than a "recon" one from some other seller which basically just means they've taken a wet wipe or an air line to it and given it a bit of a clean.

    Vax. It'll last a year, certainly. But I wouldn't give it two. At which point, you'll be back at square one. 
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Reminds me of a time I was asking about a problem I was having with my car. The clutch to be specific.

    Anyway, the chap on the forum I was asking said clutch is on its way out, it'll be gone if you don't act soon, I give it 3 months tops. You need to replace it.

    Well 3 years after his post, the clutch was still fine enough, didn't need replacing, had covered an additional 20k miles. 


    Maybe you'll be right, maybe you wont be. We shall see.
