1834 is over 1800, according to motortax.ie it goes from 1701 - 1800, no?

I stand corrected, I was under the impression that if it went over 1850cc it was deemed a 1.9..Obviously not

I would actually consider your logic correct. 1834cc is a 1.8 litre in my book as it rounds to 1.8.

1800cc to 1849cc is 1.8 litre. 1850cc to 1949cc is 1.9 litre. This is the way car manufacturers have being quoting cubic capacity for many years despite what motortax Ireland may say.

If you look at a Vectra 1905cc it will say 1.9 cdti on the bootlid....

Edit: Indeed 1750cc to 1849cc is a 1.8 litre

I could have swore that system (1050cc - 1149cc) was used a few years back. Late 90's early 00's.

Could be going totally mad though.

Good old bangernomics. Bought an ould 97 civic saloon last Christmas for 450. It's now passed its second nct with me. Just needed two new tyres and rear axle wishbone bush. Treated her to four new tyres while I was at it. 27000 miles in one year and the engine is perfect. Hit the 201000 mark last week too.

Cheap motoring works.

It certainly beats spending 25 odd grand of money you don't have on a crummy Golf TDI:)

your logic seems to be flawed:

Your very wrong my friend and you have not addressed the argument in hand by posting a screenshot of a motortax.ie webpage. Just because the Irish motor tax is the same from 1801cc to 1900cc on the old engine cc based system does not mean that a car which is 1834 cc is a 1.9 litre.

How come Opel call their 1905 cc engine a 1.9 litre. Would it not be a 2.0 litre based on your logic?

Less chit chat, more bangers. Get a new thread if you have something else to chat about!

How ballsy are you feeling! Flog it now for maximum Wonga, go back to the market for another banger and pocket the profit for Christmas ..... Happy days.

I was thinking this way three weeks ago, but its a straight unabused car which will give me plenty years and who knows my aim is to keep her for two more timing belts. By then she'll be in demand as a novelty nostalgic car and some other can take it on and put go faster ****e on it.

I'd be tempted with this for something a bit different. The mileage is high and the test is short but it has a few months tax and looks fairly clean. Might need to knock a few quid off.

If it's in kph like it says in the ad, the mileage is actually quite low. HDi engine in this?

It say's miles on the clock though

I'm pretty sure it's a 110bhp HDi engine in it.

I concede, what a nice find, HDi and absence of towbar is a plus too Although I prefer the towbar...!

They can be alright. My last car had one and it was grand though.
