    On DoneDeal, a private seller is a 'publisher'. For example, at the bottom of the ad, it says "Publisher's Details".


    Can I ask.. what's the difference between a "Trader" and a "Dealer" according to DoneDeal?

    I believe Trader is just someone who shifts more cars than your average seller and then a dealer is the full blown dealerships and smaller garages.

    The 2.8 is the biggest pig of all time. 1/4 of a tank would disappear so fast!

    Wind along this west coast is absolutely mental. Have the misfortune of being only a mile from the coast tonight, of all nights!! Mondeo was actually swaying side to side quite bad a few mins ago, so I moved her into a carport.

    Yep :pac:

    From what I've heard though I'm delighted I went here, no overcrowding, time to actually talk to lecturers and CIT is better for my kind of degree.

    I happened to be in that building twice today. Sure what could go wrong building a building on a flood plane and then sinking all the ground floor lecture theatres into the ground they must be the guts of 10 metres undergound. How could anyone possibly predict they would flood :pac:

    This one's pretty good actually (2.5 intercooled), reckon I'm getting around 25mpg at the moment, The type of driving I do is mainly short trips on bendy roads, with copious boot-planting & always in 4wd.

    Compare that to my old 3.0td hilux surf which could only manage 28mpg at an absolute maximum while hyper-miling as much as possible.

    Both are/were painfully slow in comparison to any slightly powerful car.

    I doubt it but you never know! to be honest the only reason is that it was the only place with a date this month i could find when i was looking, plus the father lives there so, two birds one stone kinda job, anyway, I'll stick up the results tomorrow!

    One thing I'm enjoying about being in thesis/dissertation year of my masters is that the lecturers put much more effort into building a relationship,they all teach all the modules but when they become your supervisor they are just nicer.

    Unrelated, can I pm you for advice about a prescription?

    Last February was genuinely frightening and that was orange for limerick. Did it even get upgraded when trees and walls started coming down.

    I think a few people have been over compensating this time after being caught napping the last time.

    That or nobody outside limerick really cares one way or the other...
