    Landcruiser Roof Rack

    Anyone got recommendations for a Heavy Duty Roof Rack for a Toyota Landcruiser (2005 D4D Model) ? I heard Mr Bullbar makes custom ones for the trade, but not sure if this is the way to go or to buy one of the ready made ones instead. Should be able to carry up to 200Kg safely. Any...

    Renault Grand Espace anyone?

    Assuming you need a Full Size 7-Seater, rather than a more compact 7-Seater like the C4 Grand Picasso or the Opel Zafira (where the 2 rearmost seats are really only for small children), I would recommend driving the Galaxy first. There is a larger Citroen -- C8, I think. Work colleagues in...

    Citroen Door Handle & Trim

    I own a 2007 model Citroen C4 Picasso with rear "up and over" door. My wife, who is petite, opened the door yesterday and the handle & door trim came off in her hands. I checked it and the trim had sheared in 4 different places. The local dealer is looking to charge me 397.52 Euro to fix it...

    has anyone ever brought the county council to (the small claims) court? :-pot holes

    Re: has anyone ever brought the county council to (the small claims) court? :-pot hol Yes, I made a successful claim. It was the third time I had hit a pot hole and the most recent time I wrecked the wheel bearings as well as the tyre. Previous times, I just bought new tyres myself but this...

    Octavia or Superb.

    Don't let the impression of "Too Big" put you off the Superb. It comes with many lovely extras as standard, which make it very comfortable & luxurious. That does not necessarily mean it's an old man's car. I have many experiences of women thinking a car is "too big" only to have them settle...

    Octavia or Superb.

    No Doubt about it but the Superb is a much better car, although I am not impressed with the most recent styling change. I prefer the older model (2008 ?). Since it's larger, it really needs the larger engine to have enough power to pull it. Trying to put a 1.6 engine into it would not do it...

    Location of the repossessed cars in Cork

    He's not actually in Charleville town itself. He works out of his home which is about 2 miles due North of the town, just inside the Limerick Border on a side road that runs parallel to the Main Cork-Limerick Road. I would not advise calling there unannounced, as he is not always there. Call...

    Location of the repossessed cars in Cork

    OK, Fair Enough. I just checked the car I bought off him recently and his details are displayed on the Tax Disc Holder, so he should be OK with getting his name out there. I already sent him a text that I referred 2 potential buyers by PM. > Mike McCormack Car Sales, Charleville, Co. Cork...

    Location of the repossessed cars in Cork

    To the person who asked if I had something to hide ..... I have certainly nothing to hide. I am not in the business of promoting someone elses business in a public forum without their permission. The reason I requested a PM is to keep it private between myself (a satisfied customer of one of...

    VW Sharan same as galaxy

    If you want something really safe, especially for the 3rd row seats, then consider an 8 seater Toyota Landcruiser but be prepared to pay the higher road tax. I use some of the children's allowance to pay this extra charge as it's going towards their safety and well being. I've had Ford Galaxy...

    Location of the repossessed cars in Cork

    If you send me a PM, I can give you the name of a Registered Dealer in the County Cork (North) area who buys direct from the banks at considerable discount when compared to the dealers. I bought my current car from him and he's scourcing 2 other cars for my friends. His business is booming...

    Satnav Tom Tom/Garmin??

    I read an article in one of the car magazines comparing both Tom Tom and Garmin. They are pretty close, with each one having small benefits over the other in different areas. What swung me was a client of mine who lives in the UK travels to Ireland regularly and he used both and said the Tom...
