I’m guessing it was a Wexford registered rig that was ‘movin on’ if you get my drift. They are known for that kind of stuff. He’s in his 50’s so if there is any punishment his career in this country is over

He nearly had he's run done.
He just had a Lidl bit further to go,I think, if you get my drift!:D

If it’s Lidl then the company is probably based in the premier county

Bit of a long shot, but has anyone got a Ford with a service manual and could scan a blank service page.
Our Mondeos service book is full and it's due a service now, didn't think to photocopy the last page before it got filled up. Can't find any pdf or anything online. Thanks.

Not sure if you do the service yourself or not but if done by a garage I would just photocopy the invoice and leave it in the book. If you buy the parts and do it yourself just copy that parts invoice write mileage and date on it. If anything they are better proof than the service book wouldn’t get too caught up on it, as with newer cars the whole service book and filling it in and stamping every service isn’t even a thing anymore they don’t have it.

I keep a excel spreadsheet for every car with what I spent on it and when parts, servicing, tax and insurance etc but then I have spreadsheets for everything some may think it’s over the top.

Anyone got any experience of AT&T Autostyle in Kilkenny?

I've gotten a notion that I want to re-trim the front seats in my car, they're starting to show all the signs of a car with 128,000 miles on the clock.

I've heard very good things about them.

Having said that, I don't really want to go all the way down to Kilkenny for no reason.

Have two Mk4s at home, will check both of them tomorrow for service booklets if nobody can help you in the meantime

I had no idea what that photo was about as I couldnt really make it out.

Then I spotted this online

I take it that's a load of produce emanating from the trailer. Also the tide came in afterwards. Looks like an unbranded truck.

You can kind of see tracks in the ditch where the truck may have went up into the ditch first then got too heavily corrected out of it, looking at the muck on the road?

Cool pic.

There's tyre marks further to the left that are not on that pic.

Nct looming for the jimny soon, getting a few bits done to it, hopefully it will get through...

What is the story with offset wheels where they protrude outside the wheel arch? Is that a failure?

wotzgoingon

I'm not sure on a jeep but afaik it is a fail on a car.

colm_mcm

Yes.

punisher5112

Get the arches roled out.... Would look massive.

Out in the shed and seen the alloy I got for the car still out there hasn’t been touched since I got it in January :eek: The damaged one that’s on the car is fairly rough looking now at this point need to get sorted. Studying for last college exams this week thankfully might actually have time to do that kind of stuff sorted out with them done.

They are good like that! Sometimes you can go in and chance your arm knowing well that you are a number of days or a week early.

Disaster seems to be everywhere I go recently.
I was in the second car back from this happening.

I heard after armed guards turned up.

Are Mercedes selling both the cla and an a class saloon now or are they the same car?

colm_mcm

CLA is smaller and cheaper than the c class.
CLA competes with Audi A3, C Class with Audi A4

ofcork

But there seems to be an a class saloon now too which is very alike the cla.

When the woman said the car isn’t on the list and I checked my phone message , realized it was next sat and said ‘oh well’ and went to the car

Sat in car for a few minutes and thought may as well ask , wasn’t expecting anything as they were filling up fast

She said, yes no problem

Was delighted

They're doing that as well as far as I know. That's more a rival for the A3 saloon (and 1 series saloon in the case of China). The CLA will be a rival for the 2 series Gran Coupé (whenever it appears) and is somewhere between the A and C-class.

bazz26

The CLA is a 4 door coupe version of the A Class in the same sense that the bigger CLS is a 4 door coupe version of the E Class. The soon to be launched A Class saloon will be a traditional small saloon to compete against the Audi A3 saloon. The next BMW 1 Series will have a saloon version too.

I miss the times when each manufacturer made about 4 cars in their entire range. Each with two trim levels, at least I could half keep up then.
