Won't be using it much after next week. Think of every train station in Munster (except Cork) and the roads between em. That's where I'll be driving everyday. Still vanless because it has a cracked window. Will be a luas wanker till next Wednesday

What kind of van are you getting hopefully not a 1.9 straight Berlingo/ partner there grim yokes in terms of power it's none existent even the Sdi caddys are more powerful IMO.

Can't see it in that pic, tbh, but I would clean that off asap.

Ye it's the white writing just at the top left hand corner over the brake you can't see it great in the picture to be fair. I'd be more concerned about the fact they are two completely different tail lights.

Why do people do this to their cars if you look really close you can still see 2001 written on the taillight from the breaker. I didn't even think the connector would be the same.

He probably doesn't give a toss and just needed a working lamp.

Plugs are the same across most Nissan models, bar the Tiida. **** the Tiida.

Oh that's right, yeah, didn't notice that actually.

I'm not surprised that they fit since they're for the same car. They'll work alright but I'd rather have the same style lights on both sides.

McDonald's opened up about a minute away from my house in the last few weeks.

Id normally go to McDonald's about once a year but with it being so close and convenient and the arrival of the new baby's think I've been to McDonald's about 5 times in 3 weeks fcukers with there manky food are going to make me fat.

Their McFlurries and sundaes are pretty good. I sometimes get them after training to get my energy back. The big tasty burger is fantastic. It's a shame they don't have it all the time. I wonder if that influenced Big Nasty's username. :pac:

If I had a broken light and had a donor car, I'd rather have the wrong working one (temporarily) than a broken one. Unless the donor has both of them working, in that case I'd just replace both of them.

McDonalds has the most wretched food ever. If you're going the takeaway route, then supermacs is the best imo.

Not always the case, I, and lots others that I know would fix problems as soon as they arise, and fix them properly. But I'm a freak when it comes to anything car related. Any little rattle or noise and I go up the wall.

I was with you until you said supermacs it's hard toss up but I think smacs I slightly worse.

Best guilt free takeaway food has to be Thai no guilt after it :pac:

Whhatt? Neither are great, but at least supermacs don't fry flour and pass them off as chips!!! Anyway, we won't start takeaway wars!

I'd be the same I want my car running right hate knowing it's a sick puppy.

Nothing to do with nct same as it gets serviced when it's due a service not a week before NCT but he's right bar myself and one or two other in my job the rest just service there when the NCT is due. They all think I'm a freak for how i polish and maintain my car.

Any mechanical issues down to tiny ones would wreck my head and I would have to fix them straight away have been told by a lot of people including mechanics that I'm over fussy on the mechanics side of thing anyway. In terms of body work cosmetics I use to not give a fcuk but I'm starting to get a more bothered by them but ultimately a dent or scratch won't effect the car in anyway mechanically.

Anyone watching Top Gear?? Bentley conti gt, Nissan GT-R, Bmw m6 grant coupe

I'm drooling here

GvidoR · 23-10-2015 09:07PM

You can get free cup of coffee from 2 AM to 8 AM at a few Applegreen petrol stations. You just need to mention "RSA" at the register.
Map here: http://applegreenstores.com/perch/resources/documents/applegreen-rsa-driver-reviver-site-names-2015.2.pdf

And in case anyone is wondering, BMW does the free bulb replacement this year too.

Marty McFly · 24-10-2015 01:21AM

It's a Friday night and I'm in work doing overtime bored.

Anyone know any good car sites or even Facebook pages to look at?

YbFocus · 24-10-2015 01:24AM

Pistonheads, I waste hours each week on that

Dartz · 24-10-2015 01:25AM

Driving the Megane diesel today....

Bleeegggh, Blllllleeeeeegggghhhh, Bbbblllllleeeeeeegggggggggggghhhh, Bllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegh,,,,,,

And that's 120kph.

Doesn't even get that good a fuel economy. I mean, I expected better than 10l/100 out of a ****ing tractor engine.

Shift up a gear there, Ted :rolleyes:

Not a chance it's using 10l/100km. Your calculations must be off :pac:

I was so tired when I got home, do be knackered most Fridays, dont be able for anything! Came in the door at half 4 and fell asleep on the couch for 2 hours! You'd swear I was a 60 year old. I'm so looking forward to a break next week.
