    Humph. You mean all they have to do to mesmerise some gobadaws is masturbate in front of them? If I did that in front of a chungwan I'd be arrested. I'll just stick to the tweed sports-jacket, brown Dubes and leaving the old wallet in the Jaaaaag awfully sorry old stick, would you mind getting this? :D

    they're subsidising it's price to promote it's usage as it's good for the environment.

    you'd do well to start stock piling it now while it's cheap, get an old home heating oil tank and fill that up, fill up your bath and toilet cistern, any empty coke bottles on the back seat, get 'em full! save yourself a packet.

    Ordered some ditchfinders for the XC90 on Oponeo.ie. I called Red Cow Tyres and they said they will mount and balance them for €10 each. Works out at €103 per tyre (235/60/R18). Not too bad :)

    Crude oil is trading at less than $30 a barrel for the first time since 2003. Hence the fuel prices trickling down, very slowly though.

    Just wait till there's even a rumor of it going back up again. prices at the pumps will be up by 3 cents before the newsreader has finished the sentence.

    All depends how many miles a year one's driving. Driving style's a significant factor as well. My corolla wears down a set of tyres a year, doing approx. 25.000 kilometres.

    Ah dang! I see, I'm guessing the rubber seal would be a bit steep from the dealer?

    A bit yeah. Roughly 100 notes + VAT.

    Shoot a photo of it, give me few more details about a car and I'll look around.

    That's what I chose. Never tried Nexen before but the price is fairly cheap and the EU label isn't bad...

    I only called up for the bulb, that went there on the weekend. I've already bought the replacement though, but handy to keep them as spares. The airbag replacement is a bit overdue! I wonder if they'll give me a list of all the things *wrong* with my car.

    At the heart of the problem is the airbag’s inflator, a metal cartridge loaded with propellant wafers, which in some cases has ignited with explosive force. If the inflator housing ruptures in a crash, metal shards from the airbag can be sprayed throughout the passenger cabin—a potentially disastrous outcome from a supposedly life-saving device

    :eek::eek::eek::eek:
    Your airbag exploding and showering your face with white hot shrapnel is definitely not safe. Even I would sue if that happened to me!

    I think he means his diesel isn't an "old nail", i.e. a clapped-out Massey. You know he tries, but his German isn't great. He should be saying "ACHTUNG!! MEIN DIESELWAGEN IST NICHT GESCHITTENHEAPEN!!"

    :D
