Decking waste water pipe under the kitchen sink snapped, oh put the dishwasher on and we went out, I came back to a kitchen with water everywhere

After months of rattles, humming and knocking the Honda is finally quiet

Turned put to be the wheel bearing, completely rusted through. New wishbone cured the knocking and with silent injectors the car is back to normal

To the Silver 00 corolla saloon driver.

I am sorry about the flamethrower attack this afternoon i was merely changing down a gear to go home for some dinner. I hope we can all move forward from this and come out the other end better people.

That is all.

When your that gvidoR come down to portumna.
We're drifting there tomorrow

We had a track walk tonight, we felt like f1 stars

ShaunieVW · 27-06-2015 09:34PM

I'm about 10 mins from Mullingar, feckin raining on and off all day, Mullingar has a special aura to it, the natives are either riding their sisters or stopping random cars asking for a lend of a score (true story) all with an underlying hatred for anyone with an endumacation this is accompanied by the official town scent of a mixture of BO, Stale Dutch Gold and McDonald's. Great place altogether.

In all seriousness though the show is looking like it'll be a great one. Hopefully the felters haven't heard of it lol.

What time will you be there? Don't know if I'll make it there or not.

From 8am until late man! Just when you're down this way!

Ye may remember me on about this golf a while back. It's been up nearly 2 weeks, updated today, and I'm not lying, there hasn't been 1 single call about it, not even a timewaster!! Priced dropped from 3950 to 3650, although still ambitious, there's others on dd, with lower specs for similar money. I thought this yoke would be sold in a matter of days!

That's a decent unmolested golf, I'd put the original grille on tbh it looks better and also they aren't recaros.

Are they not? Look the exact same as them, bar the recaro stitching.

I explained the grille situation last week, basically, the little dip that's taken out of the bonnet for the vw emblem has been filled in and resprayed, so the original grille won't fit in properly, unless the fillers are hit out, which would damage the paint then... etc. I'd have it on if it was me, looks mank the way it is. Still shouldn't deter a youngin who wants to fcuk the car up anyway.

Where's everybody? :eek:

Not much you could do there then!
Most people didn't bother Filling the notch and it bugged the bejaysus out of me, no they are VW sports seats is what there called I think. The recaros bolsters are far deeper and the material is different too.

Considering you payed very little for the car, the VRT isn't very much.
The S40 still has to be taxed and NCT's, tax will be more and they are known to throw up issues.

Transport is irrelevant if you drive the car. Take the long road, make it fun.

True, but still costs extra,depends on how you are.. my cars never had issues because I fix things all the time and don't want for issues to happen

NCT will not find anything lol.

I think the VRT is a lot for a car that is from 1992... its actually more than I paid for the car

MX5 In Ireland (exc all import, vrt etc): 2614 / year

Volvo S40 in Ireland 2418 / year

Big Nasty · 28-06-2015 11:07AM

An extra €196 p.a. not to be bored of your t1ts.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

CianRyan · 28-06-2015 11:19AM

You will never notice that price over a year, it's less than €1 a day.

Honestly, the S40 doesn't even compare to how much fun you'll have in the MX5.
