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.

Decent Mechanic Needed

HL · 2009-07-01 15:15:32

I'm buying a 2nd hand car and was hoping to have a mechanic check it out before I buy. The cars in Blanchardstown. Does anyone know a good mechanic within a reasonable distance who'd come out and have a look at? How much does it normally cost?

Think the AA provide this service.

Things you need to know. Any work done on the car?

Mileage is it reasonable for the year, average is 14,000klm per year.

Was the timing belt, water pump done. Clutch if done.

Any engine sensors replaced. Check shocks, panel gaps.

If its a jap import civic( usually better spec, come with A/C).

Bring a friend any way and don't be afraid to haggle. Good luck.
