    KCR

    Diesel 128.7

    Petrol 136.7

    Never thought I'd see diesel below the 130 mark again!!

    Yup passed that KCR station at the weekend and thought I had gone to a UK station.
    Great the prices are coming down, lets hope this trend continues. At 128.7 it's still too expensive and remember over 50% of that price is tax.

    It's bit reaaally a Qashqai though is it? Just a heavily tuned GTR with the body bolted on? Still hugely impressive though, was there a price on that article? I didn't see one.

    Much want, that is seriously cool
    I'd want one with no visible signs (as far as possible) as to what it is underneath.

    Some yoke alright. Imagine being behind it and thinking its a normal qashqai. Then it accelerates off a roundabout litterly like a rocket sub 3 seconds to 60mph. They are dangerous quick tbh I wouldn't imagine it would be that hard to flip one or put it in a ditch. Still a high enough centre of gravity.

    Sub 3? That thing is probably sub 2 to 60! 1150hp like, in a cross over SUV.
    That's hilarious!

    The Esso in rathoath heading out towards swords/airport/N2 roundabout is 129.9 and 134.4 for petrol. Still see 135 for diesel in places.

    The sad thing is if you had one in Ireland you'd still have idiots going "nice qashqai she 1.5 dci lad?" Your reply "ah no it's actually 4.1 litre petrol producing 1100bhp" idiots reply "ah right that's a pity" :pac:

    WOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOO LIMP HOME MODE!!!!!!!!!!! FCUK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'm at my wits end at this point, I just can't seem to get any effing luck with the car.
    I was driving it this morning to work and needed to do a quick bit of overtaking in 3rd gear, car lost power for a split second, then came back. It repeated this 2 more times before it went into limp home mode and the glow plug light constantly flashing.
    Seriously depressed with all of this. And they say Alfas are unreliable.

    I've no ****ing idea what's up with it.
    I had two Alfas and none gave me this much hassle so soon into ownership.
    Internet seems to suggest the fuel filters. Honda created the filter in a way that you couldn't just buy one from whoever except Honda. Robbing bastards.

    More that is read about the issue the more people are saying it's the fuel filter. Can't wait to see how much Honda ask for it.

    Have you talked to George Dalton about it, not saying he will be able to fix it over the net, but he knows the solution to most common problems off the top of his head!

    Just incase he reads this and gets a swelled head........you're still a bollix George :D
