    Just a small thing I discovered this morning. The 3 check bundle offer on Motorcheck.ie costs €65 whereas it's only £30 on Motorcheck.co.uk. At current sterling exchange rates, that's about a €30 saving using the UK site...or half a tank of diesel in my current car :)

    Or get the motor dealer to do it for you and email it on to you for free, it's just a prelim check so going to be superceded by pre-inspection check anyhow, that's what I did anyhow, sales guy had no problem with doing it for me

    Yeah, I got RAC to do a check, just got a call from garage and then the RAC guy, he spent just over an hour on the car and then 10mile road test, flying colours so I've firmed up my deal. Interestingly he performed an electronic full body paintwork depth check to test for respray or repaid work and it was 100%, just a few minor cosmetic scratches was all he could point out, glad all good and I'll have the detailed report emailed later and have for future resale when it comes to it.

    have a €5 discount on a full check for motor check if anyone needs PM me. I went onto motor check.co.uk and got the full check for £15 or about €18. Its €35 on the Irish site. Some rip off.
