Nice to see Dunph spending his share of the advertising revenue since afr shut
Good luck with the bently dunph and dont be putting digs in the back of her
Didnât like it lads, back to the drawing boardâŚ
What went wrong Dunph? Share your pain
Wasnât comfortable enough, will stick with the Merc for another while.
any recommendations for bluetooth/car radio kit? changing cars and am getting one without a bluetooth connection so want to see about getting that sorted.
Donât know any good ones but stay away from anything from ICE-they are shit from personal experience.
Get a different car.
Close to trading my 08 Passat for a 2011 Mondeo.
Passat diesel pump needed to be replaced and the DMF is starting to rattle a little which means a 600 euro bill sometime next year.
Any opinions on Mondeos, despite all the badge snobbery they appear to be a more reliable car than the passat. Ideally I would go with a Honda Accord but hard to justify the price and hard to get a nice second hand one.
Mondeo is a 2.0 litre Zetec, 140 BHP. 38K on the clock.
Fine car KP, the snobbery is wrong.
But, for less money you will pick up a Mazda 6 which is a very similar car.
A Skoda Superb is another worth looking at, esp this side of Xmas as dealers will be keen to shift stock.
Now is probably the best time possible to buy a used car imo.
Yeah, thats what I reckon. I need a diesel CarryH and the Mazda 6 diesels wouldnât have the best name in the trade from what I hear, no doubt they are a lovely looking car.
The Passat had given too much trouble of late, A/C went, radio went bust, sensors keep going, Diesel pump, DMF etcâŚ

Enquire about this for the craic and see how much they would want KP.

Bit of value for a 12 reg car. Your trade in is pretty well sought after in the current climate too so you might be surprised.
Thinking about trading my S40 in chaps. I see Volkswagen are doing a 0% APR finance on new cars, unfortunately it would feel like trading down if I went to Volkswagen. My last three cars have been S40s and Iâve really liked them - thinking about purchasing my first brand new motor as it happens so are there any other good offers on at the minute.
Youre not from around hilltown by any chance are you totti?
Not a million miles away.
Bought a cracking 06 type r civic 2 weeks ago,delighted with it very smooth drive and not bad on petrol for a 2L!
Check out a new Audi or Merc Il Bomber Destro. Some good finance deals available with most new German made cars as their money is coming from German banks.
Another Volvo S40 is only an option in a hatchback, would you not look at a S60?
Iâve been advised by a mechanic to get rid of car. Could do without the hassle & expense of that now, probably get fuck all for it from a garage and I donât really want to sell it private cause it has a few issues.

Audis are for pretentious wankers as far as Iâm concerned. Whatâs the story with Saab? Are they gone bust or what? If they are, what is the market like in terms of buying a second-hand one?They have one lovely model which I donât know the name of.
Audi, Merc, BMW and VW are all out for me - all for pretentious arseholes and far too common. I am a big fan of the S40 for its understated elegance, some of the Japanese manufactures make nice cars - the Honda Accord for instance.
Just asking cos the only lad I ever knew to drive successive volvos hailed from near enough to hilltown. You didnr live un rathmines back in 2000 ?
Christ, just when I thought you couldnât get any scummier. Do you wear a baseball cap and have your ear pierced as well?
