    I'm calling BS on this. Why would the change cause fuel issues? Its all standard fuel, from the same refinery.

    My car is quite smokey on start up compared to any other when applegreen comes to it.

    Its just there are different additives.

    Why would they waste money on additives to make it smokey?

    No they don't add what circle k does...

    I believe there was a case not so long ago against applegreen for the additives after it left the refinery.

    CCPC took the case on with two complaints one in julianstown garage.

    I will try find the article about it but 100percent sure it’s an applegreen.

    The contract is not with Applegreen.

    And even if it was, NAS use them so it can't be that bad.

    My place is the same. My old division is the new contract too. I've seen a few emails about locations down south too.

    Those BMWs are kitted out by Esmark Finch in Clonshaugh, common enough to see new stuff being transported on that stretch of the N32

    You mean the R139? The N32 ceased to exist several years ago.

    Never seen them in there before I’m regularly around that way. At the back of the “blacker”.
    That would explain it, where were they off to? If it was PSNI surely they would of went the Belfast road not towards town.

    Met one of the ERU lads yesterday and was asking about the siren. He did say there was a new fleet coming and the 'issues' would be ironed out. Had a look inside, still in fairly decent condition despite the abuse they get.

    Incidentally are all the armed unit Volvo estates gone or have they been put out to a domestic role?

    Heading towards the Malahide road for East Wall perhaps? If they were for PSNI would they not half their badge/emblem on the rear quarter windows. Something about them makes me think they’re for the UK.

    Maybe heading the port or something, it went around our car as were stopped but I’m nearly sure there were no emblems on them.

    The XC70 that was in Dublin was moved to one of the border counties.
    There is a armed V70 still out and about I believe other than that I’ve no seen a Volvo.
