Oil pressure a bit low on tickover?

No. The oil pressure on the M103 engine will drop to 1 bar (ish) at tickover particularly at that temperature. The viscous cooling fan should kick in about 95 degrees. The pressure should build back up very quickly at about 1300 rpm. Great engines.

This could be a promising Winter project. €1250

Cache of parts with it too apparently

That's not the way it works. The date you bring the car into the country counts. The inspector will want an invoice (that in fairness you could fabricate yourself) but they also want your ferry ticket.

And an August '89 2l car will need €710 motor tax, at least €720 VRT and then there is the NCT it will still need to pass...

Thanks for sharing! My car does this as well. Now I know why

Or park it up until August next year, then a road trip to NI, ferry to Scotland and back via Holyhead. Fit in the Highlands, Borders, Lake District and North Wales. Or do West Scotland and the Hebridies and back by the Ballycastle ferry, and Bob's your uncle.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 28-08-2018 5:04pm

Maybe a silly questions but why is a ferry ticket needed?

SCOL · 28-08-2018 5:13pm

to prove it came into the Republic on a date.

I bought a car up north in march and all I needed was a handwritten receipt (which anyone could have made up) Different from the mainland is it ?

Parked on the main street in Castledermot most of the time but driven regularly, it's not a bad car

Duke O Smiley · 28-08-2018 7:17pm

Not bad indeed, heres a (terrible) photo of the other side from 2014

Would Brexit and or getting pulled over by the British cops for no Tax/MOT not be potential banana skins for that plan?

Well, he was speaking about Northern Ireland, and was wondering if there is a different requirement if the car was coming from [ the mainland ] UK ( thus requiring a ferry, so a ticket might be apt in that scenario).

Is that the 'ffs' or is it for something else?

He was on about the difference importing a car from GB to RoI as opposed to from NI into RoI. GB is not our "mainland". If he was on about bringing a car into NI from GB then there's no issue as you don't actually import them.

You have the wrong end of the stick, but you seem happy enough to hold on to it so I'll let you be.

q85dw7osi4lebg · 29-08-2018 11:36pm

I meant mainland UK, i.e England, Scotland, Wales and not their islands nor NI. Think of it as a UK company providing free mainland postage if you will. I'm only asking why you need a ferry ticket from England, Scotland, Wales (mainland), when you can just hand write a receipt from NI (not mainland UK).

A post-it receipt was sufficient for revenue from me.

RobAMerc · 30-08-2018 5:49am

I guessing if the car is registered anywhere outside Northern Ireland then they would want some proof of entry onto the island of Ireland.

NI reg'd cars I am sure are treated differently.

Yes, unless you have bought the car from the previous owner while he was visiting his family in Ireland / was on holidays. Then they may want to chase the previous owner for the ferry ticket :pac:.

Piss still being taken by someone in Waterford about their still unsold Merc 300 T, It's a nice car by the looks of it but he's dropped the price once from 5500 to 5250 in the three months I've been aware of it.

Meanwhile in Armagh you can get the same model for 2800 sterling, and only months away from classic tax.

August MOT on the NI Merc suggests it has a year to go before classic tax, so with VRT and 12 months tax that's 2 grand on top of the asking price if you want to drive it now.

If Brexit doesn't get sorted out the way the Brits think it will, then anything with a UK reg that isn't cleared by March 29th next year might have duty plus VAT added to the bill

VAT cannot be charged twice.

Yes that's what I thought but apparently nobody knows exactly what will happen after Brexit.

You would think that any car registered in the UK before they leave will be VAT paid in the EU.

Only within the EU.
If you buy outside the EU (for example from the US) you will pay their state VAT "Sales tax" and you will pay our VAT on import.

1984 SAAB 99 manual. A two owner car from new with just over 61k miles backed up by a full service history

I'm half thinking of buying a classic for weekend use but I can't get anything too nice as I don't have a garage.

SAABs are pretty much rustproof so it can handle the outside elements pretty well. They had to endure Sweden winters so i figure ours is a piece of cake in comparison.

iv see a few older ones with rust, the bottoms of the doors usually rust on them.

elperello · 14-09-2018 10:00pm

I wouldn't advise leaving any 30 year + car outside year round.
It's the unrelenting damp that will do for them.

KevRossi · 15-09-2018 8:45am

That SAAB deserves a heated garage. Or a concrete floored turf shed that will soak up any moisture.

He means a concrete shed that also has turf stored as it soak up moisture and dampness that is inherent in concrete buildings.
