    Change UK licence to Irish one - accumulated points transferred?

    If you aquire 8 to 10 points in Ireland, (well done by the way, thats hard to do), and you have an english licence, you will not get the points on your English licence. When you transfer your licence to an Irish one, the points will come across and only start their *time from the point of issue...

    130 bhp is a very good engine and seems like a good price for the car. Very good reputation and goes like stink. Go for it!

    07 Audi A4 info - Uk import

    Don't worry about the radio "log" or radio booklet. Once the code is there you will be ok. You will need the code if the battery is ever disconnected. If the car ever looses full power (to the battery/radio) the radio will ask to input the code via the front face of the radio before it will work...

    Is it worth my while buying a new car?

    Re: Is it worth my while buying a new car?? I wouldn't depend on that, i'll bet they will have a way of taxing the very common 1.9tdi brigade (I too own one) soon. I cannot see the gov. taking a hit on a very popular car in Ireland. I'd guess that the gov. have something up their sleeve. (only...

    In relation to Full Service History on a vehicle

    Snap ! Sorry, but get tough. First you were told there was a history. Now there is none. (bull**it!) Second, they said "serviced here" more crap. But most alarmingly, a fleet car with 35k on the clock after the guts of 4 years??????? (less than 10k a year......i smell a clocked car. Land back...

    VRT Examples

    No one in their right mind will pay €2000 road tax for a 1.8 ltr car. Bad co2 or not. The Automotive industry would be up in arms, and they would loose too much money on the sale of new cars. Everyone would buy older (pre '08) cars .

    Mercedes C180 Petrol

    I am not sure but there should also be a hand operated lever in the footwell that will release the handbrake for this very purpose, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I certainly would not let that little point stop you from buying the car you want.

    VW service light

    I was just wondering if there was a way to re-set the service interval light (countdown timer) in a 04 vw passat tdi, without bringing it to a VAG dealer? A buddy was able to use a combination of the reset switch located under the wiper stalk, the ignition and the clock stalk (keep to the left)...

    Speed Camera query

    I don't think so, he has to aim the gun at one moving target to get an accurate reading. He just did the 2 of you more than likely because he knew the 2 of you were doing similar speeds and you were over the limit. Both of you should demand a read out (official print off) in court. I'll bet he...
