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 hope boys at top wont decide t bring us to the new normal of 1.80eu with few additional taxes.

Still though, I wonder what's the story with it, why it dropped so nicely.

Saw petrol for €1.52/ltr somewhere on my drive back from Mayo this morning, can't remember where though!

My understanding is that the price of petrol is coming down because the US dollar is getting weaker relative to the euro and oil prices are always sold in USD per barrel.

I wasn't going to say anything though incase it gets jinxed:p It's like saying the weather is nice :pac:

Also my Maxol in Harrolds Cross in the cheapest in Dublin at the moment:D:D:D 155.5

Fella's if I was buying suspension components for a 156, would MicksGarage be the place to buy 'em or is there anywhere else you would recommend?

I'm sure the mechanic doing the work could get them for less if you ask for the breakdown of the quote and compare.

Definitely go through a mechanic, some of the suspension parts have four different part numbers depending on the car, they need to be matched to your engine chassis, no point you picking up stuff, and the mechanic finding them wrong.

Let the mechanic deal with it.

Have you done the NCT so?

The fecking crutches are lethal on smooth/slippy surfaces.

My car is crying everytime I pass it by

Ouch!

I know the feeling, I couldn't drive my car for about a week due to the power steering issue. I missed driving it, even though it's not a pleasureable driving car....

I know the feeling, I've given up the low profiles and lowered car scene for now. Even the momos couldn't make things comfortable when driving on rough surfaces!

A 2010 Scirocco. Long he's had a car in the last 20 years was 4 years.

92 Vectra
95 Vectra Diamond
98 Vectra
01 Passat base
04 Passat Comfort
06 Passat Comfort
10 Scirocco.

Alllll 1.6 petrols bar the Scirocco which is the 1.4 tsi 122.

All probably the best value second hand car you'd get, all absolutely immaculate, well serviced and max mileage probably 20 k miles.

Ah I see, But are the wipers a common problem with the Scirocco.? Still a lovely car either way..

Not sure. Haven't looked but they seem to have a very good resale value, plus his in in a good cokour. Hed probably buy a new one if they changed it but its pretty much the exact same since 08 bar the interior, and you can't get the R line in rising blue.

The shed is tightly packed with vintage stuff too so no room to expand their either, lol.

No, its just they're three years old and last winter took a bit out of them!

Ah right, well at least this winter isn't as bad. Although, it did snow a little up this way. But didn't stick.
