Motors Chat - Round 7

I noticed the NCT have a lot of new rules in regards modifications, After market Seats, Steering wheel's and steering components all need an Engineers report now.

Surely if he just tells truth he'll get away with it?

well, that's bs!
If they are supposed to test the roadworthiness of our cars why do we need an engineers report aswell?

I know where he was caught, and tbh a dog with a hammer up his arse would know to slow down as plod and the gocash vans live on that stretch.

I'll be on that stretch tomorrow morning, not enough road (or engine

) to get me up to 200 there, anyone want to lend me a faster car:pac:

I noticed some coolant on the ground a few weeks back and noticed the coolant reservoir bottle was low, I am always watching out for HG failure just incase but there is the possibility of a split hose. I got the car lifted up on ramps but couldnt find any leaks. Oil is fine, no mayo and the car does not run hot.

I did the rad cap off test and when I rev there are bubbles and the coolant rises. The rad was very full so coolant from the reservoir went back into the radiator, what should I do? Get a compression test?

My car runs hot, but the temp needle sits happily in the middle of the dial, i do need to top up my coolant about once every two months though, not by much now, but none the less, ybfocus done a compression test on it and it was apparently better than it should be, the rad does have a small leak on it though, been meaning to swap it out for the one i have here, but ive feck all time to do it

I left Swords at 7:05 Monday and Tuesday and got to the Sandyford exit at 8:30 each day :eek:

In August that would have had me at my desk at 7:55 as opposed to 8:55 if I'm lucky

It's seriously insane and enough to drive me to jobhunt

Four hours a day at 12.5mph is not a happy life

Galway is without doubt one of the worst cities to get through. Took me an hour and a half to get from Newcastle through the city to Bohermore (grand total of 3.7km!!!), albeit during rush hour. I don't know how some of ye go through city traffic every day, it would crack me up!

Cork is fairly horrific for traffic too. Hitting dunkettle anytime after 7.30 from m8 side good luck that's 30-45 minutes to travel the 2-1.5 km back up to the roundabout. Makes me smile when I think where I have my work placement out in the wilds no traffic at all I think there is only 1 set of trafic lights on the commute. Oh thank god I didn't get cork on placement.

I was once sent down to Galway on a day long assignment, which meant leaving home at 5am as my work were too scabby to pay for a hotel overnight.

I arrived there at 8am or so, and then got lost.

Finally reached where I was going at 10
