Jaysus, all this jail bait it short shorts makes very bad influence on my driving. All you can think off "please be 18!"

One of the most dangerous times of the year for drivers. Be careful on the roads lads!

Ya, does that make a difference?

It's an import, maybe that explains it?

I nearly went over to the Uk in 2008 to buy a 1992 registered Nissan Bluebird - the T72 model we got over here that was discontinued in 1990.

There was a 1998 registered Scania 143 too - it was featured in one of the trucking mags I seem to recall

I've had the misfortune of driving by wes a few times when it was on. All I could think off was I never want a daughter and if I do, I'd sooner let her go to coppers at 14 than wes...coppers is tame in comparison.

My one six octy complained on startup today,usually a pet to start, I check for faults and got
00516 - Closed Throttle (Idle) Position Switch (F60) - Sporadic
Any who found the accordian hose split at the engine breather, replaced it €40 for a hose. I cleaned the TB and cleared the code. Fingers crossed.

My steering wheel wasnt worn when it went into the garage.

Was nice, shiny and freshish leather. And now its worn to bits.... quite annoying.

possible to freshen it up ?

MuppetCheck · 13-06-2014 10:50PM

Could be oil from dirty hands or gloves. Try a damp cloth.

Did they sort the problem anyway what was wrong with the car ?

I dont know yet. First step was rreplce fuel filter, hold it for a while and see how it goes but the glow plugs / relay showed up on the diagnostics so gonna get them checked/changed sooner rather than later as it could be the issue also.

The issue is very intermittent on cold early morning starts !

challengemaster · 13-06-2014 11:16PM

Tbh, glow plugs do **** all in Ireland anyway. It's rarely ever cold enough to actually need them. I'd be willing to bet half the diesel cars in the country have faulty glow plugs if you did diagnostics on them.

If it's the cause of the warning in the dash then I want to get them sorted anyway

Try start an XUD with faulty glow plugs and you'll know about it

toastedpickles · 14-06-2014 01:24AM

Happy days! Haven't settled on anything then I'm guessing?

Noccy_Mondy · 14-06-2014 01:28AM

That honda's been up a while judging by the background...maybe more of a reason haggle?

Ardennes1944 · 14-06-2014 01:30AM

Yeah it has Ive been keeping track of it. It started at 4,500. Theyre really not shifting unless theyre kitted ones.
I was delighted with the mywheels.ie history checks until I realised they dont give mileage checks

toastedpickles · 14-06-2014 01:30AM

Get yourself the volvo if it checks out, I drove koppabergs s80 and it was a wonderful place to be, moved like no ones business and stupidly comfy

Supergurrier · 14-06-2014 01:40AM

Buy a T5 S60 or E39 and stop fluting around with oddball hatchbacks

Meant to add to this before. Competition was held by my "local" audi dealer - especially for fathers day. There were only just over 1000 entries, so I thought the odds were good for me :pac: The prize - 141 audi A6 S line auto worth €51k!! :eek: If I had won it I would probably just sell it and buy and older/cheaper car and save the monies!!
