    An Iveco Eurocargo just charged up through Slane, either with a straight pipe or a knackered exhaust. There was an epic boooooooo as he changed gears :cool:

    About €27-50 each depending on what quality I want.





    That was the dealer, he looked up the reg and chassis number for any field action items, and said nothing came up so basically you're on your own.


    Trying to decide if I can justify a set of red top Audi R8 coil packs instead of one regular auld GTI one :pac:

    That's not too bad tbh I thought they might have been something crazy for a GTI. I meant to ask you this ages ago but I didn't. Did I by any chance see you at st Patricks cathedral Tuesday or Wednesday last week?

    Thursday evening/Friday daytime maybe? Would have been the only times I was around there.

    It might have been Thursday alright. Didn't get a chance to see if the front lip was red or not.

    Ah cool, I know you said he was changing gears but he coulda been down-shifting too which is why I thought exhaust brake. It was mostly the 'Booooooooooooo' bit though! ;)

    Offs

    It seems from two weeks time I'll need a fob to get in and out of my estate however we've never been given one.

    Any cheap solutions?

    If you need a fob, it's not an "estate" unless you have it all to yourself.

    Not sure what a public development would be; I guess you live in a gated community - the sort that like to keep others out. My brother lived in one in Dublin in the early 90s; I think they wanted it to be posh but as 1/2 of the places fronted onto the DART line, much of it was student heaven. The gates had to be opened by keypad which would have made it a faff if he had a car - he passed his test last week at 43 after less than a year's driving. Funny thing is an uncle of ours bought one of them as a Dublin pad at the height of the boom. Not a nice loss to take if he ever sold. More of the pension savings down the drain.

    Exactly where was this as it sounds EXACTLY like where I'm living. Would it be named after the most expensive square on the monopoly board?

    Basically I want to get 1/4 inch ratchet set. They seem to be very handy my dad has a very good c.k one that I use a good bit. But I'd like to get my own I found this one in halfords and has everything I want specially the torx bits which seem to come in very handy. What's halfords tools like ? Would anyone recommend a different set or is this as good as it gets for 30 euro? Finally does anyone know how the axa discount card works i found out my dad has one would this give me discount in halfords ?

    If your only doing your own work there perfect man, they take abuse and haven't broke on me :)
    I think they are good quality tools for the work I do on my own car and family cars.

    That's all I'll be using it for just light work on my own car and maybe the odd family car. I think it would be handy to have one and every time I go looking for my dads he's either gone off with it or it's lost at least I can put this one in my boot and know I have it handy. And for 30 euro can't really go wrong.

    I got one for christmas man, it had every tool any of us lads could ever want.
    It was about €130 at the time or that and was a chest with drawers and all.
    Just that you'd get way more if you can outlay that much.
    Where you based by the way as I have a contact in Portlaoise ;)

    @Ybfocus that sounds good alright for 130 euro. But I just need a small set to leave in my car. My dad has a good few of all those bigger sets so I can use them if I need them. I just want to get a small handy little set if you know what I mean. I'm in Kilkenny by the way.

    Ah right sure they'll do fine then sure, I don't even know if they have them anymore :)
    Ah right you ain't a million miles from me really :)
    Anyway the tools will be 100% for what you want to do with them. Ask about the guarantee because on the expert ones I think that there is lifetime cover on them... Again could be wrong so don't go giving out to me if you look like a silly billy :D

    Grand thanks. I'll see if they have any left in Kilkenny at the weekend when I'm home from college. There is no major rush anyway. Not the end of the world if I dont get one for a month or two. Thanks for the help Ybfocus good to know there fairly decent tools and will do me for the bit they will be used.
