You need a phone with an infra red transceiver. As mentioned, most decent androids have this. Should be able to find an app for it (universal ir remote or something ) if there isn't already an app for it on your phone.

Hah! When I was in primary school I used to have one of those Casio watches that could be used as a TV remote. It was so good being able to adjust the volume of the telly whenever it was film time :pac:

Anyway, I fit an EGR blanking plate on the Focus yesterday. A lot of difference in power delivery mostly when approaching roundabouts in second gear when you are slow for second gear and too fast to jump into first. Before I would have to kick the accelerator to get the car moving quickly in the 1000 - 1500 RPM range and the accelerator would feel unresponsive. Accelerator is a lot more responsive and it feels much better.

Yeah happy out, especially as a 21 year old in a 2.5 "Sport" BMW with a crash in 2011 :pac:

For comparison, Liberty wanted €2666 :eek:

Which insurance company is that with?

Up in Mayo for the weekend. Grand roads but had some unbelievable scenery along the coast. Pity the weather was so sh1te for it. Every second car was a rental car too!!

Noccy, by any chance is your Mondeo a Cork reg? Seen one that was black and had the same alloys that are on yours!

GvidoR

Where abouts in Mayo are you staying?

*were.. Came back yesterday Just outside Westport, place called Loiusburgh?

Was in Waterford today too.. Have clocked up just over 1,000km since Friday night.

GvidoR

Oh.. I thought you're staying there this weekend. If you were, I could've probably met you and let you admire the auld Punto. :P

I did similar miles last week too. Not much driving this week... feels weird.

I actually got the chance to take one for a spin last week - wasnt as bad as what I thought it would be to drive!

After doing that kinda mileage I said to myself "damn I really need a diesel for myself" but I know over the next few weeks the Corolla probably wont even leave Tipperary, only for a couple of spins to Waterford again.

Also, the price of petrol is crazy compared to diesel again. I paid 142.9 today when filling up.

GvidoR

I got petrol at 138.9 today.

Supergurrier

I did not buy petrol.

Today was a good day.

Nope, mines a Mayo reg.

"Engine Prefect". There's your problem, it has an ancient Ford engine in it.
And "Immobiliser Prombels", no, not familiar with that make.

A one-litre Volkswagen is about as much fun as a toaster and will die after 70,000 miles if you do much in the way of highway driving. A Saxo is a Citroen and will drive you to drink, drugs and divorce as it mugs you at knife-point while shouting "Allez les Bleus!!", but it's at least a quirky, fun little thing. Neither of them have any power. I hope that much helps!

Well, the saxo it is then...

Seriously though, looking for a car now is getting tiring..

"Not starting"

Where do these people come from? How can an engine be perfect and not start? Sure an engine that starts but misfires would probably be "mint" to this guy :pac:

Ha! You don’t see old 100E sidevalves calving three grand worth a' fcukan dual-mass particulate injectors, do ya!

Bought some wind deflectors on ye olde ebay for the C5. Only place I could find them. Thought I'd get them on Mick's Garage handy enough, but apparently not.

Judging from the back bumper the driver must of just stood back and tried to throw in whatever needed to go in the boot. I hate seeing yokes like that so abused engines probably wrecked from being run on cheap diesel and not being serviced probably just fit for scrapyard at this stage unfortunately.

Well, if it is in fact an old Ford sidevalve that makes prefect sense as written. See what I did there??

If you do the driving thing and your car is 2002 or above, they may give you a good quote.

What's this malarkey about Merlin Car Auctions getting a sponsored forum?

Any particular reason?

I'm not sure if my ignition test is still valid but they've always given me good online quotes, even when I was throwing in fake information for future quotes.

Ah sure it's a bit of advertising for them, isn't it. Puts a few Euro into Boards, too. No harm in it. Could come back to bite them though when someone gets a trouble car and starts giving them endless hassle on here over it :P
