Okay, I am sure there is an answer for this somewhere on Boards, so forgive me, but -

I have a car declared on SORD until March 2015. I'd like to get it on the road sooner, though - tomorrow. Can I just rock up to a tax office and tax it?

colm_mcm · 31-12-2014 10:22AM

Yes.
Except they'll be closed.

Shíte.

Online perhaps?

colm_mcm · 31-12-2014 10:26AM

Not certain, but I'm under the impression the online system isn't clever enough to know that the car is SORD'd

toastedpickles · 31-12-2014 11:28AM

Oh hiya payday

Let the fun begin......

Dad is gone up there now as he wouldn't listen to me and said they must be open. He's also annoyed because his log book came today and there was more letters wrong in the name than there was right actually the way they spelled it I'm fairly sure no one has that name.

sblythe · 31-12-2014 12:58PM

Awh nuts, had wanted to impress the in laws with a taxi home from the airport this Friday in the CL.

Camry it is for them then it seems...

Ah he just missed it. The tax is out the end of December so today. Hopefully they will let him tax it on Friday even though his name and company name is all wrong although that's there fault you think they would cross check it of the vat number or realise that there is no company registered with a name spelled that way.

Lads do any of you know what is on in Dublin tonight or some good restaurants in the center?
Had some plans which ended up being cancelled so I'm thinking of bringing the wife to the big shmoke for a gander.
Not a hope I'm staying in Loughrea

Usually the big concert on at college green (outside trinity on Dame Street).
What food are you into, price range?

No preference really, price range about 60-70e.
Thanks for the info, do you know at all if there will be fireworks this year?
I vaguely remember there being some last year.

Should get a good meal for two and a bottle of wine for about that I'm SABA if you like Thai, same goes for Red Torch Ginger.
Loads of good Italian places around for around the same money, Il Baccaro is probably my favourite Italian in Dublin.

Fireworks... Can't remember last year but if they are going, they're probably down along the quays, two wards the docks.

Dublin is buzzing on NYE, no matter where you end up there'll be good craic.

Perfect thanks again

Might give the Italian place a try.
Going by car so no drinking for me but I couldn't care tbh.
Hope it's a good one and happy new years to everyone

Might go to the dun laoghaire fireworks. They were cool last year. Teddy's icecream shop was open too!

EDIT: Cancelled for this year apparently.

Is the following viable? Or am I talking stupid talk

Could I get an uncut flip blade key for the Mondeo off ebay, and take the chip out of one of the current keys. Would it work. And obviously get the new key cut in a locksmith.

Could that be done without needing to visit the stealer.?

If your ever up in dublin autokey are a lot cheaper than ford to supply cut and code genuine keys. The time I had my focus I got a standard spare for 50 quid odd and they supplied cut and coded it for that. For central locking key your still looking at mid 100 euro which is still a lot of money I suppose it depends if you want remote CL.

See I already have two keys for it, which are both like this (blade is different)

What I want, is to replace one of the keys for one of these, because, you know, they're cool :pac:

What I'm trying to get at is essentially could I break up one of the existing keys and use the chip and what not in the "new" key.

This kind of answers my question for me

Autokey want €180 for a remote key for mine. BMW themselves will do it for the same price.

I did it for the Volvo.

Actually Noccy, your key looks much easier to convert. The transponder chip looks more exposed. Mine was buried. The hardest part is trying to put the new unit together, getting the spring to sit properly etc. Definitely worth a shot

Bpmull · 31-12-2014 09:09PM

Anyone recommend a decent car air freshner to use or does anyone here use them ?

MuppetCheck · 31-12-2014 09:15PM

Get chemical guys stripper scent or new car smell. They're spray on but nice.

Stheno · 31-12-2014 09:16PM

Have a good new years everyone
