That seems to be the lower end of the scale, 09 ones go up to nearly 8k pounds! That said, the mileage is around 40k miles. Am I right in saying vrt wouldn't be as heavy on a 1.4 tsi as opposed to a 1.9tdi?

Don't be posting them up here :pac: I personally wouldn't touch that older type 1.4tsi with the supercharger and chain trouble maybe it was sorted by 2009 though. As for the mk6 there was no 1.9tdi in them 2009 ones were 2.0tdi 110bhp and when the new engines came in in 2010 they were all 1.6 tdi 90 bhp in Low spec and 105bhp high spec and the odd 2.0tdi cr engine in 140 and 170 bhp. I think if I was going for the 1.4tsi is go mk7 2013 onwards as by then all the issues were fixed but maybe they were fixed in the mk6.

Found it

Looks like a "put it out there, hang it over their heads, then expect praise and thanks when you don't follow through on the threat" kinda thing at the moment.

Toyotafanboi · 07-10-2015 10:36AM

Ffs.

Gotta love Irish politicians. They're a parody onto themselves.

They must have heard the fact that Renua wants to put up fuel and there's an appetite in the population for motor tax to be abolished and fuel prices to be increased.
So Noonan thought this would be a good plan, with one little adjustment...
And that's what happens when you shout for tax increases loud enough.
I thought I saw his name on a pack of bread the other day, but then I realised it said "Thick Cut"

Sorry I was in the airport and couldn't post a link but I'm fecked off with that tit. He does nothing for the motorist at all except fleece the living bejaysus out of them.
Fags and pints are on the up too, sure feck it I've given up the fags (for now) and I don't head out to a pub enough to be pissed off about it but for the love of Christ could they not leave the fuel alone??? Surprised they haven't thought about increasing the tax rates...

Special Circumstances · 07-10-2015 03:27PM

Bet it won't happen, they are going for the "sure don't ye have more money in yer pocket now after us" buzz. They will wave this around the place and then when it doesn't happen some people will be thick enough to believe they are better off.

Every time I think I have money in my pocket the price of something goes up or a new stealth tax appears. Sorry I didn't f*** off to Canada years ago.

Marty McFly · 07-10-2015 03:28PM

They want us all driving nissan leafs or 1.2 diesels and sure if ya don't fcuk ya how dare you enjoy driving sure why would you want a car with power sure your only allowed the speed limit and sure every car can do that :mad:

So. Two new rear brake discs and a new caliper, as well as pads. Also, I mightn't have the General back until Monday. Immortan Goose is most displeased!! :mad:

I was taking the Ballymun exit on the M50 northbound this morning.

Lane 1: empty.
Lane 2: L-plate driver undertaking
Lane 3: Citroen van doing 90~ km/h and a cop on a bike behind him

The sirens went on and the van was pulled over. Unfortunately the dashcam didn't pick it up as it was to the right side of the car :pac:

Success!

GvidoR · 07-10-2015 04:26PM

3 lanes. Fancy. I'm lucky to have one over here. :pac:

3 lanes on the M50 are about as useful as half a lane in the country side to be fair. If you want to drive at 100 km/h you need to weave between the 3 lanes :eek:

Was that a white 02 shape bingo van? And what time? I encountered a silly dickhead at the same crack on the m3 at about 8.... Being an absolute nuisance

Well, it would want to be considering I use it every morning....

CIP4 · 07-10-2015 04:46PM

I'm kind of surprised that everyone is so upset over the fuel obviously it's annoying but I had kind of excepted that there would be 1 or 2 cent on the price which will equate to under 50 quid extra per year for most people. I'd be more concerned as to what they will be doing with PAYE and USC. USC in particular as to me that's a fcuking joke and a step too far. It's sickening looking at your payslip looking at how much your down especially once you go over the low bracket of 35k euro which most do.

Toyotafanboi · 07-10-2015 04:48PM

The thing is that it won't be 1-2c if it does cone to fruition. Go hard or go home, iirc the last jump was 5 or 10c was it not?

Ah well there is no way they are going throwing 5 or 10 cent on it as they want to get in again.

Nothing would shock me. Patriculalrly seeing as diesel is down to 1.10 in places, that's nearly 2007 money.

07-10-2015 05:07PM

Obviously, these are everywhere
