Mahons, for the craic, go to any main dealership and say you want to trade it in, see the reaction they give you when you say it's an import. You only save money if you can buy it cheaper and still sell it at the normal asking price! You won't be able to sell that car for the colour of 40k. I...

I wouldn't mind the english imports, any one who buys an english import isn't saving anything if it's an every day sort of car ie. passat, saab, bmw etc, every day dealers are getting more and more info on imports and most have had milage adjustments, so if you buy it €3k cheaper, you cannot...

Havent heard about an increse in VRT. I think a lot of people would like it to go back to something like what car prices were, a lot of people's car's have come down in price and that effects the price of your trade in. So if a new car has come down 5k then your year old car will lose at...

Not so sure on the law part, but as far as I can remember there was no factory option to get a sun-roof that people went for back then as it was to expensive, most got retro fitted with a sun-roof and as far as I can remember that is as far back as they did go back. Take a look at the glass...

Turn anti-clockwise, sounds like your tightening it.

You have different rights, it's Arbitration, not so much a legal route of court. I can see why you might want your money back after buying one of those but usually if it went so far that you were sat in arbitration it cost every body, you might get a new car but you might end up spliting the...

It's not a faulty car, it has a fault, which will be rectified, that's what the warranty is for and will cover any faults that may occur due to a manufacturing fault.

You can't just hand the car back! You have a warranty and it will be fixed, does the car have a Towbar?

That could be down to poor qualith gear oil in the box or a low level, if the oil is not right in the box you can get morning when you cannot select some gears till the engine is hot and sometimes the gearbox gets so hot that when you want to change gear it wont let you. Re-con engine is one...

Could be un-lucky! but unlikely. If your not to up on cars a clutch will always look dirty and so will a fly wheel, if those "scrapes" were in the flywheel when the mechanic took the fly wheel out and bad enought to be making noises you would have defo also felt it in the clutch pedel when...

If I was you, I'd go to the garage and drive the car myself, check it and if the noise is as the way you left the car in, I would refuse to pay as it's mis-diagnoised. As regards the 3k for a recon engine and three month warranty, try and price IVI engines on the Naas road 01-4500011, used...

Tell them to stop and price up everything, a lot of lads won't do a crankshaft, they will want to put an engine in. From what I can see it looks like they diagnoised a clutch and when had it stripped out saw damage to the flywheel (prob caused by the clutch). Not sure how they found damage to...

Was it a main franchise dealer? What sort of faults have you had?

Dual controls on a car doesn't make any difference to the steering, they put in a second brake and clutch pedel. They don't fit another steering wheel!!!! Ask your gf what excatly happened, did lights appear on the dash before she crashed (electric steering on them) was she going around a bend...

Is this a main franchise dealer in Ireland? Have there been one fault that has failed to be fixed or a couple of faults?

I'd get lessons every two days or so if you can, bear in mind that you might also be brought in to Newbridge to get your test done also, When your booked in to the Tougher est for the driving test you can be brought to either town.

Lucky it wasn't a main dealer I would have had to listen to all the usual crap about service in main dealers. Bring the car back to him and ask for your money back, did you get a reciept? Is he vat registered? What document's did you sign when you bought the car? Were these things not...

That's were his problem is I think, he locked the car with the key at some stage and didn't set the alarm, when he came back to the car he would have again un-locked the car with the key and pressed the fob to unset the alarm but he actually activated the alarm. Best way to set them up again...

RS2K, it's not really an engine noise level problem the op is talking about, it's more so a struggling noise the engine makes while driving the corsa at speeds it's supposed to easily do but makes a noise doing it. Unless you have driven one you won't be able to grasp what the problem is, it's a...
