Or those seeming simple jobs that you think will take less than an hour to do and it takes the entire day. Or those ratings in a haynes manual which are clearly lying....

We all had to start somewhere

From our experiences we can share them with others to help

Come to think of it, bmstuff does all this kind of wiring, routing and all that for a living. Maybe ask him for his input too!

However the microphone lead is miles long, and he who owns the car is now pondering why I can't run it behind the dash and have it magically appear beside the sun visor :rolleyes: .............

I'd just leave it to be honest, horrible job that offers little by way of reward once all done

I've an awful lot of time on my hands at the moment, so I'll give it a go and if it annoys me I'll get it done as it does look nice when you have it done paid or not

I used build and repair pcs, that's a horrible job

Didnt know where else to put this but it made me laugh:

Jaysus, the Mondeo's got more miles than my 15 year old car. Haha

In the NCT centre again, hopefully things will go smoother this time.

Dartz

Probably motoway miles.

UK Rep-mobile perhaps?

Provided it's been looked after it'll be fine. It'll have spent its life cruising between 50 and 70, so it shouldn't have worn too much out.

It's not the mileage in asmuch as it's the type of mileage.

CianRyan

Yeah I was thinking that, he says he'll VRT it, if its the same price then it's not bad.

You didnt spot the "2.0 Ford Mondeo Z-Tech for sale" then??

Hahaha, I did actually.

Not 1 spotted, from the bottom of Kildare to the top of Louth. Normally I'd see one in the first 2 or 3 days.

Now I'm off to bed, goodnight all

Saw my first one yesterday in Dundalk. Silver Mondeo think it was 17 or something. Couldn't get used to the 131 though.

CianRyan

NCT PASSED!! :pac:

I think you need to gather up some countrymen, lie in wait and show them some 'lithuanian love'

****, that sounds rough.

That reminds me though, on my way to the NCT centre I met a red WRX like yours, only difference was this one had a wing, carbon defusers(I think) and the driver was messing with me and spitting flames like a mad man.
I fell in love with it.

Didnt those Millionaire boy racers say when they go into a shop and leave their car parked up, they would find spit and rubbish thrown on the cars - people dont have respect for their cars, well the majority of Irish people think their car is for getting them from a to b!

Careless people are careless SH. Once me and dad were sitting in his car outside a chipper when there was a bang on my side. Some stupid inndividual with a Rav 4 had left quite the dent on his car, with us still inside! :mad:

People leaving dents like that don't see cars as someones interest, a hobby or way of life, they see it as a miserable chore to get them a to b in their miserable rotbox *cough boggo spec kia picanto *cough and think everyone else is the same. A widespread diseased breed of people I'm afraid.

On another note, bosch took precautions to prevent people tampering with the stop solenoid on their mechanical pumps. Did it stop me getting access to the solenoid? Did it f*ck :pac: I'm on my way to that 11mm hybrid pump

@ SH that sucks, people just don't take care

Just back from visiting my brother in the hospital. He was cooking using a pressure cooker last night and noticed some steam escaping, he went over to adjust it and the whole thing blew in his face. He has second degree burns on his face and chest and is very very lucky he got his arms in the way so it didn't hit his eyes. I am never ever using a pressure cooker after seeing that.

Bloody hell :eek:

I burnt myself with one of those home wax kits that you used in the microwave at home years ago

Was wearing a vest at the time, took it out and it exploded all over my chest and neck just missed my eyes that god. Tell him when the scars have closed enough to start using bio oil on them I did and I wasn't left with any noticable scaring.

Dr.Rieux

Cheers all. Fiona I'll tell him that though the doctors have said that there shouldn't be any permanent scarring but if anything might help make sure he'll try it no doubt.
