  1. Looks Stunning Jake! Hopefully will see her in the New year!
  2. Government here is making anywhere but here very attractive! Over the last few months, the stats on emigration was something along the lines of 1 person every 13 mins! 111 a day, 3000 a month! To get stats like this you have to go as far back as the famine!
  3. VRT , is the nail on the coffin for any decent new engine sized cars over here! So I'm sure at least some of you have heard the ads they have been running. "Beat the VRT Tax Increase by ordering your new Peugot by 21st December". Seems all over bar the shouting. My sources tell me the top rate is going to a staggering 40%. If people are crying over the dearth of good second hand metal around the place at the moment, just give it another few years of this and it will be game over altogether. Consider something like a BMW 550i. The pre tax price of this car is €50k. On top of this there is currently €12k VAT, then a further €35k VRT giving a retail price of €96k approx. The tax on the pre tax price of the car is 92% or thereabouts plus an annual tax bill of €2.2k. Going forward this car will attract a further €6k in VRT approximately, bringing the price to an eye watering €102k, with a total tax on the car of 104% and the road tax will be heading towards €2.5k. And they wonder why there were only 9 petrol 5 series registered in Ireland this year?
  4. Come Wednesday It is not a matter of getting some vascile it how much do I need! Proposals for another VAT increase here, up to 24/25% + but the EU stepped in and said Brussels cannot dictate a VAT increase. But no minister has commented it was not increasing again! More UK shopping for me! Heard we have an off license tax coming, anything with a bottled cap will be taxed further; unless you get a pint in the pub! But at close to 6 euro a pint and over 6 euro after 2230; I can see everybody cutting down. Looks like everything is going up here for PAYE to Universal Social Charge, plus the addition of Water charges, Property tax, communications Tax plus I fear that they will get rid of declaring your car off the road. Plus VRT (Vehicle Registration tax) is increasing Rumour is if your car is registered it has to be taxed, only way out is to either scrap it or sell it over sea's(de-register it). In theory you could have a car registered here but it might be sitting up with no engine in her and you will still have to tax it! Outlawing cars , especially performance cars! Registration Plate Change From next year, there will be two distinct registration periods. Cars bought and registered between January and end-June will use the 131 number, while those purchased between July and December will use 132. The system works around fears about the superstitions people hold about the number 13 but SIMI also hopes it will spread car sales more evenly across the whole year. "superstitions people hold about the number 13", not heard such crap!
  5. That's why they changed it from 'Road tax' to 'Motor tax' a couple of years back You wont get away with a commercial tax on her in Dublin, they are even clamping down on Commercials. If stopped you have to prove you are on a job outside of 9-5 hrs Mon-Friday

  10. Hey I have the snap off kit, it uses 7 pin connection Is this the correct approach to take to connect the horn? Using spade terminals
  11. Mine was the Aux belt, So I replaced the Belt and Idler Pulley
  12. •The oil sender does not have an "OUTPUT" . its a variable ground •In an Auto setup (More pressure= less resistance, makes the gauge go up), •More pressure= less resistance •Less pressure= more resistance What I can do: •Remove the wire from the sending unit. The gauge reads full scale. •Short the wire to ground and it reads "0". Question With the Gauge and Sender off the car , How do you trick an oil pressure sender into measuring pressure?, so I can get the variable OMH reading on the Multimeter or is the only way by putting it on the car with the Engine running?
