Best of luck with the sale. It's certainly a very unique car with the amount of performance extras it has fired. Out of curiosity how long did you have it the first and second time ?

Have you had much rubbish via text/donedeal messenger?

I went out with my dad today to a few car garages he wanted to see the new Tucson. Now both my parents really like Hyundai and had a 2007 santa fe and 2010 ix-35. I wouldn't bet a fan of them at all but I have to say the new Tucson is really nice. The top spec one has really comfortable leather seats and they are very big with loads of room front and back. Nice interior and radio display. Not badly priced at all. The only let down in the engine 1.7 115bhp now its a bit big for that engine don't get me wrong its quite torquey and pulls well at look speeds but hit 80 kmh plus you'd know it was 115bhp I wouldn't say struggles but it could do with another few horses other than that its nice to drive and has a nice high up position. Feels well put together and should sell well. That Hyundai garage had about 20 new ones in stock so that says a lot about how confident they are that they will sell.

Then we looked at the new astra I really liked that but you'd want SRI or elite spec for a decent amount of toys. We test drove the sc model 110bhp 1.6. And it lacked certain important things such as an arm rest fog lights and a full trip computer it had nice alloys thought and looked well from the outside. I liked the shape of the built in Drls too they look well from there front. As for driving its a lovely car to drive that new 1.6 diesel engine is very very nice and is well able to move the car in a hurry. However if you want decent power there a 136 bhp which is suppose to be nice to. I have to say I really liked it. Price wise they aren't cheap not all out golf money but not far of it. Elite with a 136bhp engine and all the toys your looking at as close as makes no difference 30k euro which is not cheap.

I go absolutely ape if my glass isn't 100% clear. Can't stand finger prints! If the class is clean, then 30 seconds of the heater has everything cleared, no streaks left or anything.

Dealz sell a little device, a pad on the end of a stick wrapped in a mircofibre material that is great for cleaning the windscreen. Someone mentioned it on here and I picked one up a few weeks ago. Worth the investment (€1.50 i think):)

I've been looking on their site for this yoke since they were sold out in Lidl recently and I can't find the bloody thing anywhere!

It was the Lidl one that I missed too when someone mentioned Dealz on here do them too. I just went into the shop itself. They have a small car section with antifreeze and the like. It was there for me.

I don't want to exaggerate or anything, but it is revolutionary and has improved my life. I think I am at least 20% a better person now I have it too. :pac:

It is a handy wee yoke

Meh, I'll stick to last Sundays paper approach, unless I happen to stumble upon one.

I just use my A/C.

Getting some stuff done, 4 new breaks (+ dists etc) and new 2,5 inch exhaust system and some 272 degree high performance cams, high performance fuel pump and few other things

25.25 litres got me 490km this week. Kildare to Wexford and back and spinning out of work the other two days. Cruising......

50mpg or thereabouts

Guys, as you may know, I got new front tyres and tracking done yesterday. Tonight I noticed that the drivers wheel only is catching the inner arch when on full lock. I can see where it has freshly caught. It's not plastic that may have moved out of place, but metal. What may be the problem? Improper tracking?
