Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

The old GT has been though a bit since I last posted. After fixing the timing chain noise caused by the tensioner, I started to notice a tappy knocking noise at certain revs and loads. I dropped the sump and my worry was confirmed, a spun bearing causing rod knock. Very nearly the end of the Primera!
Luckily I caught it in time and the crank was not past it. I replaced all the rod bearings with ACL's and it's been fine since, just back from a trip down to Mayo and didn't skip a beat. I have changed the oil 3 times in 3 months so far! Alot of sludge build up from poor maintenance in the past, fingers crossed I've got the best of it now and with more tuning up and TLC it will live to fight on for a few more years.

I changed to a Lexus IS250 (220BHP?) which subsequently changed to an Astra OPC (240BHP), then to a 320i (170BHP) then to a Nissan Murano (250BHP?) and I'm currently on an Insignia 2.0l 220BHP. Its been a busy 4 years.
Young family means I now need 4 doors so will always have a saloon, but the S2000 was by far my favourite car and I will look to get one again in the next 18 months as my "bit on the side"

Not everyone is as bat**** crazy as some of us on here with our motoring choices as it goes against the grain within the culture fostered in ireland of low tax and shurre what do ya want a petrol for what do ya need a 2.5+ for etc.
Alot of people do big milage and work hard for their new cars that many might see as dull and grey (Interiors are glorious on new audis however as is the infotainment system across the whole VAG family). Personally i couldn't care what anyone drives as long as they are enthusiastic about it and it brings them joy in whatever form they seek it.
You're right. Everyone can enjoy whatever they want to, and people can have a variety of opinions but to me the other cars were more interesting than the Audi. Can a man not have an opinion on that and comment on others cars?Hugh Mungus wrote: »Personally I wouldn't have mentioned the Audi...
Perhaps! But if we all have 20:20 hindsight then the world would be boring! 0 -

I'd have bought it back only for i wanted a change, it's probably a fair whack faster than the zed too.
It's only faster because you haven't started throwing money at the Z yet.

Its a 2008 2.0l Turbo, Elite spec. Petrol obviously!
Pics to follow - car (badly) needs a wash first!
Absolutely brilliant! Fair fecks for buying something so different, and one that isn't a diesel!I am pretty sure i've met 166 and found him a nice guy, i've no grudge with him. He has to be honest in his posting though - he made the comment about the Audi to get a reaction and he got one simple as. If it didn't interest him then there's no other reason for mentioning.
We can all make comments about how X,Y or Z is a lovely person to know in real life. We've all made friends from here but we also have to be a bit respectful and exercise a little more cop on when someone who is not a regular pops in and posts a pic of their pride and joy.
I mentioned reasons for including the comment? I honestly don't have any interest in it. Does that make it a bad car? Am I ''dissing'' someone's pride and joy? I'm not.
Yourself and OSI have taken it personally as ye're both VAG heads. Am I not allowed to not have an interest in it? Jaysus lads the overreaction here is real. :eek:Supergurrier wrote: »Rule 1 of motors as i see it. Don't diss someone elses car, or atleast if you have nothing nice to say then swallow it.
Who say's it doesn't really matter to be fair.
SG - as I said there was no ill spoken of his car? I don't have an interest in it? I don't get why the big song and dance over this..
