Went to change a side-light bulb in the Space Wagon today and what a mess that turned out to be!! :rolleyes: Had to remove the battery and disassemble the airbox and all connecting parts and then found it was a torx-head screw! :mad: Got it out anyway, replaced the bulb, put everything back together, connected the battery...and nothing. New bulb not working! WTF!!?? Had to take it all back off again and have a look. Got it sorted anyway and everything back together. Fucking 90 minutes to replace a tiny bulb!! Pain in the hole!!
It's a load of bollocks the way they do that, to try to make you go back to the dealers to get the bulb changed!!!
I found with my fiesta, the driver side headlight, you can't change it easily, but if you take the screw that holds the coolant tank in place, and hoist it up and out a bit, you can get in at the back of the light... Pain in the arse though!0 -

Yep, feckin smart arses!! Nah, I'm too stubborn, I'll hack away til I do it myself...or break something trying!!
My partner went to do his driving test today, the NCT is out by a week and we had booked it but the only date available was 16th Sept... thought if he brought the letter along we'd be fine... (same as if they Garda wave you on if you have it booked) but nope... not allowed out... €75 down the pan... I can understand why, but still stings.
Yeah, feckin money racket!! The OH's licence expired and she has to do a test before she can get another one. And she can't go for the test as the car has no NCT and we don't have the money for a school car. So I've been slowly getting stuff done. Car hasn't had an NCT in 6 years, so there's a bit to do. :cool: But nearly there now. :pac:
On another note, herself os gone to a hen night in Mullingar, so I have a few cans, Lethal Weapon is on TCM +1, followed by Lethal Weapon 3...I'm set for the night.

Haha yeah there's a crack in the power steering fluid well in our car so we just keep topping it up with fluid... will have to sort something permanent out... anyone know if that's a big job?! I also crashed it last week... well when I say crashed it, I went to turn into a car park and didn't bring it forward enough so crashed into the wooden fence at the side of the road... fun times....
Hope the other half has fun at the hen night, enjoy your cans!0 -

Is it definitely a crack or is there a seal gone? If it's a seal, I came across this stuff today (which I need for my own car) and if there's a leaking seal (which I have) it will soften and expand the seal and then seal it completely. It's expensive at €14.00 for a 300ml can, but if it works, it's well worth it. If yours is cracked, then a replacement wouldn't be too expensive, as long as the problem is the reservoir and not the pump itself.
I think we tried that before... it wasn't a spray... more a tube type thing... will have a look for the spray... definitely a crack in the tank, himself got under to have a look.:rolleyes: FFS! :rolleyes: Hope you learned something! :pac: :pac:
Lots... fecking big cars.
Ah I can't go too mad, three kids in bed, I won't be able to do much if I'm lying face down on the carpet in a pool of puke and piss! :cool: :pac: :pac:
Ah sure, what fun would that be anyway?!0 -

Put them in a locked room with nothing but Slayer playing over and over for a day or so and they`ll soon snap out of it.
Optional to not feed them or let them use toilet facilities for the day or so.That`ll learn them to listen to **** music!!!!!
Thank god my dd has some taste left.Half of them Ive never heard of but at least it rock and metal...pierce the veil,sleeping with sirens.
Im trying to get her into Sepultura now but shes not budging (yet)
Had her interview today for the Tattoo place and shes starting in a couple of weeks. Might even be an apprenticeship in it for her if she sticks with it.0 -

FFS they had one direction in tescos in Maynooth last year and I couldn't even get into the place to buy my beer.Not a happy Hellrazer at all.
That would have been an ideal time for a spree killer to show up.
So why did you not take advantage of the situation and dish out a hiding or two?? :pac:
Had an interesting one day...most of ye know I'm a debt collector part time (sort of) and there's nothing as annoying as someone disappearing on ya. I had a guy a few months back, borrowed €2500 and moved out of the house the next day. Haven't had a trace on him since. Anyhoo, collecting from someone today and I seen him. He was standing outside his "current address" talking to someone about a car that was in his driveway.
I asked my customer about him and she said he's a scumbag (which I knew already) but she was telling me the car in his driveway (a very nice black Mazda RX-8) is for sale....but it's a stolen car on fake Northern plates. He got a bogey logbook and advertised it on Done Deal. Apparently he was waiting on a buyer to come from Cork to collect it today. I figured as soon as the guy finds out he'd be back up with the cops, and she said this guy has been moving furniture out of the house all week, he's moving out of the house completely tomorrow.
What a fucking dick!! Some poor sod thinking he's getting a bargain RX-8 only to have it confiscated when he goes to re-register it! So I called the cops, told them what was going on and informed them that he moved the car from his driveway and parked it round the corner (in front of someone else's house). They just said "grand, leave it with us..." Chances are they won't do anything but I tried to stop a bloke getting stung and losing out on money...my conscience is clear. 0
