I'm trying to find an old thread I set up last year. It was about how much the 05 octavia was worth I know it's obviously not worth the same now but I remember a few good things being mentioned on it and want to read through it again. Is there some way of filter downing to see the threads I set up rather than just one I posted in ?

In your profile go into stats and "All threads started by me"

True, but still I would prefer to buy none. I'm rolling on a budget.

My birthday is April too... Some coilovers would help me forget about that awful day.

@TP, those new wheels on your Saab look even better in person! Can't believe that I ever thought the old ones were better :O

You seen em?

the show up nicely when its clean, although its an incredibly hard colour to keep clean

I only washed it friday and its filthy again

GvidoR · 20-03-2014 12:15PM

Got the tyre replaced... €60 outta my pocket.

Harcrid · 20-03-2014 01:02PM

A few times since I got my car I would get out of it after a drive and get a smell like hot brakes. But the discs never seemed to be overly warm. Had the fan going after shutting off as well. I am only now after realising it was the feckin DPF I was smelling after weeks of researching electric brake problems on Passats thinking that was the issue!

Please tell me interior thieving hasn't reached these shores yet?

Kaiser D · 20-03-2014 03:08PM

Thoughts on black plates lads?

YbFocus · 20-03-2014 03:37PM

They suit it lovely

dar83 · 20-03-2014 03:56PM

Definitely need straightening though, my inner right angles are screaming. :P

The look far better and I agree with the above.

Bpmull · 20-03-2014 06:14PM

Is adverts as bad as ever to sell a car on ? I suppose probably best to stick to donedeal.

Fitted and balanced as well. If so that's very cheap compared to what I have to pay for 18" alloy wheels.

Yeah, I would be a lot happier replacing two as opposed to one though.

Kaiser D · 20-03-2014 06:44PM

I'd feel weird replacing just 1 tire. It would have to be either 2 or 4.

Only interested in the C reg? No D for you, buoy.

I was actually recently talking to a cork guy and he said he would only buy a car if it had a C reg. I couldn't believe it the same guy probably spends a grand on his cars to buy them which probably makes it even harder to find a C reg. my preference when buying cars would be a KK reg. but I've yet to get one so it's not exactly the difference between me buying it and not the reg.

The reg of a car does not bother me. It could be from Cavan for all I care.

Fitted? Yes.

Balanced? Don't think so.

That means I'd have to spend €120. Can't afford to throw money here, there, everywhere. Besides all of them are pretty much brand new.

colm_mcm · 20-03-2014 09:28PM

Saw this on Clonskeagh today. Oops!

Not sure if the 5 series in the pic was damaged.

Saw a Transit towing it away shortly afterwards, not quite sure what happened.

Old diesel · 20-03-2014 09:30PM

E 39 5 series BMW on the bangernomics thread - 1 owner/driver since new.

Thing im wondering - is how do you replace an E39 that you've had from new.
