  It has come to my attention that a newly registered member has attempted to bypass the site's selling rules - thereby saving £4.50 - by offering parts on old threads AND directly via PM, despite a message from me reinforcing the forum's rules.
  
  Any purchase carried out from a seller like this (I believe they are requesting payment via transfer) is EXTREMELY risky.
  
  I've suspended the account in question as a precaution, but please let me know if you receive any similar contact from other newly-registered members.

  Obviously a reason why the person wanted to fly under the radar. Well done Martin and whom ever was involved in this positive action.
