What's the toll on the Limerick Gort motorway? I forget...

And anyone down Limmers side, what exit do I take for Castletroy?

As in the Limerick tunnel? €1.90. 28 or 29 for castletroy depending on where you're going. Where are you going? Might be able to give you handy directions

Fake NCT disc in the car. Fraudster.

05 D 64664

Next NCT Due By: Jul 20 2015
NCT Certificate Expiry Date Jul 19 2013


It's certainly not an error in the system - it would have corrected itself by now after three months, and after NCT it updates straight away. My car had a new date, two minutes after the test was finished.

Was driving the girlfriends car to work this morning and the windscreen wiper came flying off when I switched them on. I fitted them months ago so if they had been incorrectly fitted surely they would have been lost prior to this. I've a feeling somebody tried to liberate them last night but failed as they were under the edge of the bonnet so couldn't access them fully. Driving in torrential showers is not for the faint hearted with no wipers.

Special Circumstances

Is it an audi A4, passat or (less common these days) an aventiss?
You want anything on those cars welded or glued on.

James Bond Junior

2006 audi a3. The wiper arm was fine, the clip where the wiper blade fits on was still intact, it was the piece of plastic between connecting the wiper itself to the clip on the wiper arm that was broken, which left me to think someone had tried to pull it off.

You can the can of course the camera on the all 3 lanes bp. The can can camera can from the top of the garda hill also.
The garda can camera can cannot take regs, only read can speed so can give chase to drivers.

CAN.

Sorry am in ikea didn't spot the mistake it was one of them new type transit custom garda speed vans not a car but it was up on the raised ground with garda only on it. So can it scan the 3 lanes take regs and send out ticket like a normal van.

Still exit 28 then? Is that before the Limerick tunnel?

Special Circumstances

Castleconnell turn off is well before the tunnel. Not sure of exit numbers.

It is junction 28, same one for Annacotty/Lisnagry and Newport.

Bloody express lane is where I first learnt the Golf had those annoying "I'm braking really heavily so I'm going to flash my hazards for all the world to see". Was coming out of the M3 toll after Dunboyne, just passed the express barrier, decided to floor it in my shiny new acquisition and enjoy the noise. Just pass the cash booths and instantly spot a Gard standing the other side of them with a speed gun. Slammed on the brakes, cue the hazards flashing. I don't know what was more obvious the hazards or my bright red face.

That sounds a most annoying feature!

Phew, I was mentally counting the lost expenses from all my trips up and down that road

Was in Pavilions shopping centre earlier, came out and lo and behold some muppet in a micra which has seriously low tyre pressure is blocking the exit as they "forgot" to pay

Cue the security man arriving and manually lifting the barrier, at the same time as my one moves.

Said muppet nearly crashed into me

Guys does this sound like a wheel bearing?
For a while I had been noticing a groaning noise which increases with speed but doesn't change depending on which way I turn so I cant figure it out.
Would tires.give the same symptoms?

Not if he is coming from gort. He will have to go through the tunnel and continue on for exit to castletroy etc
