    Where was that on? 1000 people, that would have been deadly.

    The ulster Hall in Belfast.
    Nearly sure that's what it was called!

    Belfast, looked like a city council hall or something from the pics I saw of inside. One of the lads from work was there, so close he could read the set list from the gallery or so he says.

    FN, do you have a wiring diagram and a multimeter?

    I haven't unfortunately, I'm also stuck between doing College work and actual work anyway so I wouldn't be able to get to the car until Wednesday night when it should be tested with INPA.

    Sounds like a good machine to spend 7000 miles behind the wheel all the same!

    If you were in Belfast this weekend you could've popped in to see the 3-on-3 inline hockey tournament. :P

    There were teams from Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Paris.

    It has been fantastic, 26mpg so it's livable with and just right amount of power for a daily.
    Those M52's are reliable and this is playing good so far!

    Exactly, think of the fuel consumption, the build quality and the fantastic reliability. :)

    The only upside of the Yaris is I don't want to go anywhere with it so it's saving me some money I suppose. Stupid thing.

    Could be worse, could be a Yaris Verso.

    Bora had it's first viewer. Very odd though, didn't even properly look at the car, didn't even sit in or hear the engine run and said €400 max.

    Leave out the bits on the ad about the window and boot, explain them to the person if they come to see it. Don't want to go scaring off people unnecessarily. If all that's wrong with it is the handbrake, why don't you get the NCT done and up the price a bit?

    Not trying to scare them off, just trying to be to be honest. Other than those bits, I don't see anything else wrong with it.

    I already put it through NCT twice. Can't afford to spend like this right now when I don't have a job. First time it failed so I went to a garage, showed them the fail sheet and they replaced the rear brake pads so I tested it again and it obviously failed. I also tried to tighten the handbrake cable but yeah... probably needs new discs or new cable, I'm not sure.

    I took out that stuff about the boot and the window, like Noccy said.
