I had a look in the commercial showroom but there wasnt much around. Just 3 cars in the showroom and the salesman was outside moving cars. We left there and headed across to the Skoda and Volkswagen part.
I've to head down to Cork in the next few weeks, I'll certainly make sure to take a detour to have a look at that garage
My local Vw dealer, Tom Harvey, is a tad bit expensive but he is 100% honest & reliable and would do anything just so your vehicle is A1 again.

They are abit in the middle of nowhere well it's in newmarket but there is not a whole lot in newmarket. You could always give them a ring or email. My dad started by emailing them as he was working in the uk at the time and couldn't call during the day. The salesman really went the extra mile he answered email after email my dad had with questions. They were the cheapest by a long way in our case. Just the attitude they have is great if it's possible to do it for you they will.

Thats really what you look for with a garage. Do they have ad's on carzone do you know? (carzone wont open for it today for some reason so I cannot check).
I'll make sure to keep them in mind anyways

They advertise very little of their stuff. So you are as well to contact them and they will tell you, they have a sh!t load of demo stock it's unbelievable. My dad contacted them to say he'd have to go with another garage as he needed to buy a demo straight away this was November and that he couldn't wait till January for a new one. Salesman was like sure we have 2 demo golf vans here 1k cheaper than the next cheapest demo straight price.

We went up to look the one he bought had 1k km on it they agreed to give him mats and fitted vw mudflaps (200 euro extra on a golf) then when we collected it they put a full tank of fuel in it and then the salesman seen I had a mk5 golf and gave me a set of genuine vw mats too without even asking. We left I was like so how do they actually make money. No doubt it's through repeat business. It's the first place Id be heading to get a replacement for my current car.

"Ooh look, another new reply to the picture thread, oh, wait, it's just people talking about golfs again."

Do you drive a GTI by any chance? You'd see a good few around Kilkenny.

Ah yes yes. I was really just wondering if you're one of the many lads around Kilkenny driving a tdi with an R32 kit and badges, which I assume now you're not :pac:

There's one fella you'd see with a blue 1.9tdi, full R32 kit, R32 badges, the whole lot, and it's just plain hilarious. Couldn't sound further from a VR6 (no disrespect to the tdi).

Oh ive seen them all they wouldn't be my thing at all. Perfect looking GTI cars on the outside then they start them up you can't hide the tdi sound no matter how hard you try. No mine is completely standard from the factory even has has front dogs and alloys which are almost rear on a mk5 as most are poverty soec wheel cover editions.

Did you get rid of the Focus?

This is my donor FTO

mhackett102 · 08-03-2015 12:14PM

Feel its necessary to post pictures of a car like this
In the showroom at Audi Kilkenny
Once I sat into the drivers seat, I thought I was never going to leave - the interior is exquisite and it was just a nice place to be.
Unfortunately, they were not interested in doing a straight swap with my Mondeo :pac: :pac:

skipz · 08-03-2015 12:34PM

Out for spin today with mate. Bit eventful, he nearly rolled his hilux and I ripped the front wheel arch off coming up out of a deep rut.

Only got two quick pictures, busy day!

Noccy_Mondy · 08-03-2015 12:59PM

Snow pic from last month.

rizzee · 08-03-2015 04:53PM

Edit - sorry on my phone so cant rotate pics. New reg plates will be going on after nct in 2 weeks time.

Have LEDs in at the back for the Reg playe bulbs, they'll go through the NCT grand wont they?

colm_mcm · 08-03-2015 06:51PM

Yeah. LEDs no problem for nct. Some cars have them from factory.

Great thanks! Bulb warning on dash, damn canbus. Looks well though.

colm_mcm · 08-03-2015 06:59PM

Oh, maybe get ones with a resistor built in.

rizzee · 08-03-2015 07:04PM

Yeah i will if the warning annoys me that much :pac:

GvidoR · 08-03-2015 08:07PM

Now you can look at rizzee's Punto without tilting your head. :pac:

colm_mcm · 08-03-2015 08:09PM

They came up right-way-up for me anyway

Or wire in a set of regular bulbs as well hidden in the boot to fool the canbus.
