Car is a S15 btw. A PSV inspection on a S15?

The diff is welded, blatantly they caught him drifting or something or seen him taking a sharp corner and the wheels kicking!

Definitely get it out. You can get it out easier by having a mirror resting down the gap so you can see what your doing.

It could be filled with gunk from bad fuel or not enough motorway blasts that those cars like

I'll follow this guys video. He uses an aul mirror too.

Can you clean a throttle body with carb cleaner? Just wondering because theres a can of it in the shed. If not I'll just get a can of the proper stuff

Not only does the front window washer seem to allow water up on both front and rear (there's a seperate switch for the rear), it now sprays the water INSIDE the back window onto the parcel shelf, what

Had that happen on my old A class. The junction on the pipe inside the car had become loose and was spraying washer fluid & water all over the parcel shelf. It was a bitch to get the trim off but other than that an easy job.

If you're in Dublin and need a lend of trim removal tools gimme a shout.

Sure ya do never really see the AGS around meath outside of the towns - she must have been seen doing roundabouts or something and a garda car was passing

She must have been caught in the act, lots of mini roundabouts near the hotel. I had a car (e30 318is) seized by the kind Gardaí driving the blue 2.4 Camry one random night in bray , for vrt avoidance, who kindly left myself and my friends to walk home! I still get the chill's every time I see a fecking Camry lol

Well considering for the same price you could get this:

http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/02-bmw-325i-nct-until-08-15/8379047

With an 8 month NCT then he seriously needs to reduce the price or NCT and then sell it for 1600e. Without the NCT let alone any tax I'd hazard at around the 1k mark.
What year is it anyway? How long is the NCT out? And why doesn't he put it through the NCT?
Questions which potential buyers will need I'm afraid.

Customs were there one day dippin vehicles going towards the motorway from Gormonston, that general area seems to be a haunt for that sort of lark for stopping people!

That Camry normally hangs round the old R147, been behind and infront of it on my normal commute all too often... :eek:

Anyone know what the deal is with checking the VRT for vehicle brands not listed on the VRT website, I take it you have to give them a call?
