    You need a phone with an infra red transceiver. As mentioned, most decent androids have this. Should be able to find an app for it (universal ir remote or something ) if there isn't already an app for it on your phone.

    Hah! When I was in primary school I used to have one of those Casio watches that could be used as a TV remote. It was so good being able to adjust the volume of the telly whenever it was film time :pac:

    Anyway, I fit an EGR blanking plate on the Focus yesterday. A lot of difference in power delivery mostly when approaching roundabouts in second gear when you are slow for second gear and too fast to jump into first. Before I would have to kick the accelerator to get the car moving quickly in the 1000 - 1500 RPM range and the accelerator would feel unresponsive. Accelerator is a lot more responsive and it feels much better.

    Yeah happy out, especially as a 21 year old in a 2.5 "Sport" BMW with a crash in 2011 :pac:

    For comparison, Liberty wanted €2666 :eek:

    Which insurance company is that with?

    Up in Mayo for the weekend. Grand roads but had some unbelievable scenery along the coast. Pity the weather was so sh1te for it. Every second car was a rental car too!!

    Noccy, by any chance is your Mondeo a Cork reg? Seen one that was black and had the same alloys that are on yours!

    Oh.. I thought you're staying there this weekend. If you were, I could've probably met you and let you admire the auld Punto. :P

    I did similar miles last week too. Not much driving this week... feels weird.

    I actually got the chance to take one for a spin last week - wasnt as bad as what I thought it would be to drive!

    After doing that kinda mileage I said to myself "damn I really need a diesel for myself" but I know over the next few weeks the Corolla probably wont even leave Tipperary, only for a couple of spins to Waterford again.

    Also, the price of petrol is crazy compared to diesel again. I paid 142.9 today when filling up.

    Nope, mines a Mayo reg.

    Mine's also a fraud, having the chrome strips under the windows, add the sony radio to it and I like to think I have a titanium :pac:
