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.

Well folks,

Didnt think this warranted a thread, hope this is ok here,

I've been tasked at going looking at a few 04/05/06 Santa Fe crdi's tomorrow, for a family member

Looked at one today, a 05, drove very very well but the interior was dog rough and 3rd gear was a bit too notchy for my liking (and must be bad seeing as I drive an old toyota :pac:) Also the abs light was showing, (possible module trouble as the pads were plenty beefy?)

Researching on the net doesn't seem to show many major issues with them,

Any of ye any experience with them?

Whats to look out for beyond the usual used car stuff?

Also, do any of them come with a centre diff lock or do they only come in the constant awd with no user input?

Thanks in advance

My mother just surprised me with this.........

Lovely gift

I had a t shirt with an SD1 on it (ebay job), was too small for me, sent it over to a lad on a Rover forum that had/has an SD1, fitted him perfectly apparently

My sister eventually has gotten around to replacing her much loved Ford Ka (she's been in a bangernomics Carisma for a year now, a few weeks was the plan).

Anyway, had a look at a 2007 Mini One in a local Mini dealer, €10,995 iirc was the asking price. 1.4 petrol 6 speed, red with white roof and other Cooper esque touches.

Now I thought this was sheer lunacy, even if they knocked a grand off (which I reckon they would have). But I could see the sister being really tempted by the two year warranty etc etc.

Dunno where the folks got her from back in the day :pac:

Go on any of the back roads?

Nahh I didn't but it still wasn't very deep. I was with some Canadians and they couldn't believe that it only took that much snow to cause problems :pac:.
It also wasn't the kind of snow that you could make snow balls or whatever with 'cos it was very wet. I'm sure it was better higher up though.

Drove to Belfast and back today. The snow was nowhere near as good as they let on. Only about 3 inches 4 tops.

Went to the Titanic museum and W5 in the odyssey, was a nice day

'twould be a gamble though, can't test drive it etc as is so there might be more than just the transfer box wrong with it, could be completely unrelated stuff that needs doing too

The other worry is when you google the number

The drif ireland and BMW driver forums were interesting

It's always a disappointment when a car you really want comes up for sale but with a catch

At that price and the transfer box costing (let's be honest) not THAT much, I'd see that as a goer if you have the funds. Less than five grand to get that back on the road (not including tax) would be savage!

Was driving on the M9 today and seeing a garda car on the back of a tow truck put a smile on my face and if someone doesnt collect the tv on the side of the road on the M9 on the Waterford side i'm gonna collect it myself

Car is still not running so I've left it for the weekend. I can do no more with it really. Ill get the mechanic to look at it next week it probably needs diagnostics. It's the unknown is worse than anything:(. Hopefully we will get it sorted next week. It's a kind of inconvenient time for it to break down but I can really do no more. Looking back its defiantly not a nice experience breaking down so far from home. It should all work out in the end hopefully.

Matt Simis did I see your car outside a house before the sweep outside Collon?

There can't be too many black 560SEC's on MH import plates knocking about...!

Reminds me of a Corporal I once used to have. Now that was some experience out on the ground :pac:

Not a lot of info unfortunately but it's not too far from me so said check it out. And it's been like that with a bit no pics etc not on sale from today like.

Can't link on the mobile but there's a nice type s on dd for just over 6k, low miles too and looks clean. I'm sure you could wrangle a bit off the price if it's a good one.
