    S60 seems to be running not too bad, seems to be conking if left idling and needs a slight rev at junctions to not stall. Having Air-con off helps.

    Besaides that im really starting to love my barge

    You haven't had the easiest start with that car. Hopefully it all comes right looks like a really nice car I'd imagine its nice on a long drive.

    Just collected my car.

    There was no fuel in it when i left or in. ... now there's plenty. ... that might explain some of my bill !

    Doing the opposite to this is a reason I wouldn't go back to a garage!
    Particularly when it's brought up and a shrug of the shoulders is a the response!

    Car felt like it had a puncture on the nearside front tyre this evening, was very lumpy driving along.

    Doesn't have a puncture, need to check the tyre pressure, but is it possible I've had a shock go?

    Breakers didn't have the original cd radios for the focus today, but had 3 of the tape ones..... and I bought one, couldn't stand the one that was in it, so it's an improvement, old skewl! Never play cd's anyway.
    Came across this yoke before, anyone used them before?

    Any good? says the sound quality ain't the best. Don't really play music off my phone too often anyway.

    They can be a life saver if you're stuck with a tape deck. The quality is okay, but nothing amazing like Mr. Pickles said.

    I never use a cd player/tape deck in a car.

    I listen to whatever is on Nova and if I don't like it I roll down the window and listen to traffic.

    Everytime I go near the big smoke I have to rearrange all my presets to the local ones :(

    Today fm, and iRadio are all that I really listen to.. or if mam is in the car she needs to listen to the death notices on Mid West Radio :pac:

    And Spin SW, I'm just on the cusp of getting the signal, more often than not it's a bad signal.

    Dublin city fm is a good one around the city. I used to love the morning show when I was commuting. Great music selection, minimal ads, and the traffic banter was actually useful.

    Whenever a new car comes into work, I always have a guess at what kind of person the previous owner was by the stations on the radio :P

    It deeply upset me to be honest. :P Only had change in my pocket after spending €90 in the breakers. Didn't happen to me this time, but have you ever gone to pay for something and not have enough to pay for it, then take the walk of shame to put it back, brings me back to my childhood!!

    60% of Lexus drivers have The Sultans of Swing-the best of Dire Straits in the CD changer. Fact.

    TXFM isn't the worst

    I've a selection of stations.

    RTE1/Newstalk to see what's going on in the world. Off the ball in the evening. And Tom Dunne in the evening on Newstalk. (Where else would you hear Neil Young and then The Cardigans following)
    TXFM or Nova for some music.

    Sports you go to Newstalk. Drive time? I'm usually in work still haha. Off the ball does be on when I'm going home.

    Of failing all that, my phone works instead

    I never listen to the radio, I just use a usb stick with a few hundred songs and sometimes I add or remove some if I get bored. I am the same with what I watch, I dont watch television and instead just download or stream what I want.
