Motors Chat Thread Round 3

Alanstrainor

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Had to create a new thread, as the last one was on the fritz!

Have fun everyone.

I'm a bit of a fossil, and like books/manuals, but I'll definitely have a look there.

I learned what a big end was due to howstuffworks and amused my mechanic with my correlation of it

Lads, I know most of ye know far too much to have bothered with it, but did anyone ever use the dummies for car mechanics (auto repair and maintenance) book to learn a bit more about mechanics of a car?

Not that I'll be servicing or repairing my car, but more to learn about the physical makeup of the car itself and be able to understand it better?

A haynes manual. Your only man.

Yep, you'd be very much taking your chances with one 2nd hand as even with full SH they give turbo turbo relatively fresh. The Uncle is on his 2nd and no trouble but that's in new ish cars.

I'd be very slow to advise anyone to buy one.

I know one or two lads in car sales that won't retail anything with the PSA 1.6 unless they have thousands built in for warranty issues and they prefer not to take them in too.

I've mentioned more than once that my uncle drives a 1.6HDi powered C5, was talking to him today, turbo failed last week, 08 car he's had from new, 125k kms and full main dealer service history, €1700 to repair in Citroen main dealer.

Enforcement of court orders act 1940 and 2009.

Section 7 (d) of the 2009 act:

(d) if he or she considers it appropriate, and
subject to subsection (8), order the
arrest and imprisonment of the debtor
for any period not exceeding 3 months
(which order shall specify the amount
of the outstanding debt and costs,
including the costs of that order), and
the debtor shall be arrested and
imprisoned accordingly.

In theory yes. In practice the sheriff is as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Is there an implied contract with eflow? I.E. if you use the road then you agree to pay?

Anyone know what happens when you don't pay a toll and the subsequent fine?

It goes up to €41 and then €156 when the Kerry mob get their hands on it. They will eventually take you to court.

I'm sure some of the other operators have similar options these days as well, they were the only ones that had it when I was looking for a tag. I can't stand the thought of having to have €12/15 minimum in your account before they pull more money from you for no real reason.

eFlow postpaid account all the way. Costs €1 a month if you use it or not, but if you use it more than twice in a month you save that Euro anyway. It's a win/win and it means they don't hold a 'float' of your funds to ransom for no reason.

I really really hate eFlow, I may have to try and get over that
