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.

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

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.

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.

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

Just talking to someone there that told me driver was Russian and almost paralytic.
Didn't know where he was or what happened apparently.
I suppose there won't be much more about it in terms of punishment.

I've lost count of how many times i've travelled that road, but never in my life have i come across something as severe as that, minor stuff yes due to the aforementioned kink, but this is extreme. Needless to say the whole unit is almost certainly a write off.

There is a kink in the road there that in the dark has caught out a few people over the years.

Yeah Paul Byrne of TV3/Virgin Media has it up on Facebook, I know the spot well, did the artic go in?

I couldn't see as the Coast Guard had the road blocked and were diverting any traffic up the road to Ardsallagh(the road up the hill after the bridge coming from Youghal.
Loads of lights and stuff going on but only for the Coast Guard lad telling me it was a lorry I wouldn't know.
I live over the road so I'll be passing there again in a little while.

If any of you are familiar with the stone wall just on the Waterford side of Youghal Bridge...I was coming home last night around 2:30 and a lorry was after going over it.

Yeah he said he tried to get it over the line, but just wouldn't. I made sure the engine was good and hot too before going in. Engine temp was recorded at 110c according to the report.

That's a sickner. Was he revving it for ages?

Had my 06 Fiesta in for its second NCT retest today, after failing on just emissions on the original test. Since then I've added dipetane and another fuel additive to the car and driven it for a while. The first retest the results were slightly better, but today the results were much better, it actually passed on the low idle, but failed the high idle by 0.01%, I was fairly sickened when he told me how close it was. I reckon a bit more driving to clean the system and I'll try again next Thursday or Friday and I should be good to go, saving my over 500 on replacing the cat.

Kkv your driving is ideal for a diesel....

As I said look at 1.5dci Renault as they are very good and you were of course stung and so were others as the cars weren't driven as they should have been.

You bought a car from the era of chapel tax syndrome where absolutely everyone and their granny bought them for chapel tax....

If you get a proper looked after motor it should in most cases be perfect....

Petrol must be breaking your heart on cost of fuel.

Ev such as the i3 would be ideal for you.... Yes yes not fully EV but it has a little generator to charge as you go along if needed.

Im going to be selling my 1.8 mk1 diesel focus this week. Send me a PM if you want to have a look at it.

I would have it ten times over a Logan or any other Dacia..

To be honest, I don't think I'd ever be spending money on a diesel again. I know a few people, and I myself have had diesels, and it's amazing how the letters DPF have come up in conversation with people, without me myself having to prompt it. Turbo issues seem just as common.

Petrol cars (rightly or wrongly) seem a lot more basic when they go wrong.

I'm still driving a 2007 1.8 petrol Mondeo I got on boards cheaply (about €600 if i recall correctly). I just threw €200 worth of tyres onto it over the weekend. It's NCT is in November and although I'd like to say I'll still be driving the same car, hassle-free, for the next 5 years, I just don't really see it happening.

Hence I'm already starting to mooch around and see what's out there as an alternative. Part of the issue I have is I never really seen anyone in my day-to-day travels. So if the bumpers were hanging off the car and the brakes squealing, with plumes of smoke coming out, it didn't matter. Nowadays I'm starting to see more people in my day-to-day work life, and as a result I need to ensure that my next car is somewhat presentable, too.

But I seen the Logan, and thought it looked like a runner. (I actually really, really like the look of the Logan Stepway, though I'd never spend that money on one; they seem new, but they look really good). I also need a car with cruise control, which muddies things further. :rolleyes:
