    I finished the evening of the 23rd and was back for the morning of the 30th.
    Just felt like a long weekend :(

    I've been a passenger in a car all day. Noticed lots of things that I normally don't notice driving.

    •Even though a certain community in rathkeale love their high powered motors, they also love The Ford S Max. I've seen at least 10 of them today. Mostly white.

    •There are far too many 151 Dacia Dusters in Limerick.

    •Petrol can be got at 1.249 now! Diesel at 1.199.

    •A 151 bin lorry can look about 10 years older after only a few days of use.

    Was going to do my faulty ignition coil today until I went down to get one and some inconsiderate jerk decided to buy them all this morning :pac:

    New bonnet badge and wipers on now though, wipers make a world of difference.

    Hey man didn't realise you had one :)

    1. If i could find m tech bumpers front and back I'd be laughing.

    2. Standard 323/325 exhaust.

    3. Cream leather door cards and two clean front seats.

    You better not be going out of your way man!

    Day 4 of not having a serpentine belt; the motor factors has since given me a 4th belt which again, is too short, upon bringing this one back they insisted that it was the right one and would fit the car, clearly it doesn't

    The saga continues tomorrow

    Anyone know anything about opel corsas?
    Mates wife was going round a roundabout today and the steering lock locked:eek:
    it has since been towed to an opel garage where they have said it might be the loom which they will gladly change for 1000 euro :eek::eek:
    its a 10 reg daysul corsa (1.2 i think)
    do these have steering system issues like the older passat? any recomendations for a good indy/auto electrician around the clondalkin area?

    I'm not too sure whether diagnostics showed a wiring fault or they are just stabbing in the dark. Ill know more tomorrow.

    Can you get the lenght online and count the ribs?
    Try going to another motor factors and asking for an (eg.) 1590mm 4pk belt or whatever.

    Maybe their system is wrong!

    System is wrong! the belt is 6pk2425 they gave me 6pk2868 (a v6 belt) 6pk2413, 7pk2868 and hopefully tomorrow I'll have the right one tomorrow, from a different crowd

    This is just perfection (IMO) :D

    2.3L aircooled engine inside that puts out 500hp!

    Update on this, Opel Head office have come back and said that they have never seen a problem like this on that model corsa and will fix it for free! Their current quote to replace the loom is 1500. Nice one Opel!

    Death,
    Taxes,
    The Monday back after Christmas.

    I don't think I'm on a high enough floor of the building to guarantee death by jumping out the window.

    I strongly considered diving head first out a window today

    I'm home nearly three hours and still have a headache

    VAG are one of the good ones! I've gotten loads out of warranty from them on one particularly bad car!

    It's good they stood over it though - that's a scary bill on a fresh enough car.

    Same here, first day back for all the carpet dwellers today, with a list of all the crappy jobs they were too lazy to get us to do before Christmas :rolleyes:

    And yes I was in work when they were all stuffing their pie holes!
