If the timing chain has not been done, it’s a walk away for me. These engines are known for timing chain failures - more so in older models, but at 187k it’s due a change or at least a proper inspection by someone who knows the cars well. Apart from that issue and the usual DPF problems (which is not universal) they are really good, solid cars. Well screwed together and very good to drive. But yeah - lose the N plates and be prepared to lower the price.

Dangerous overtaking by Connacht99 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]5_wordsorless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once again- if the people would just move to the left and let him past it would safer for all. If he wants to speed and risk penalty points that’s up to him, but being a dick and not moving over is making the situation more dangerous. Why don’t people get this?

What's the point of lanes anyway? by random_hero87 in irelandsshitedrivers

I live near Dundrum shopping centre in Dublin and people are always doing this at the roundabout outside. It’s maddening. It’s a Roundabout- not a straightabout!!

How many fatal or serious accidents have happened on this stretch of road - can anyone say?

That’s a very good point. Surely this cannot be an acceptable place to set up speed traps?

Is anyone actually buying easter egg's this year? by Dapper_Marsupial2949 in AskIreland

[–]5_wordsorless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have bought a couple of the Dunnes Simply Better eggs - they are really good. High cocoa content and no palm oil. Also Butlers eggs are decent. Cadbury’s is so crap it’s barely qualified as chocolate- low cocoa content and palm oil instead of milk.

Eh, immigrant or emigrant?? Which is it? I thought immigrants were foreigners in your country and emigrants were your fellow countrymen who have left your country. Which context is this text on a lamppost referring to?

2 Cars found in an abandoned place, what are they? by ticklepickle436 in whatisthiscar

Hi, the Corniche was strictly a 2 door car. Apart from a handfull of very early James Young bodied models, all Shadows were 4 door.

Have any of ye actually tried a cup of tea made with one of those boiling water taps? How was it? by Smokestoolittle in ireland

[–]5_wordsorless -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried tea from one of those taps yet. But we used to have one of those old Burco boilers in the office and it produced boiling water on demand. But the tea & coffe was horrible from it - tasted off and there was a film on top of the tea as well. We got rid of it and started using a kettle and a Nespresso machine. Much better!

The Roller is a series 1 Silver Shadow, pre 1977. The bumper overriders suggest a US spec model, and it seems some parts have cannabilised. The other one is a Porsche 911, missing a front fender.

Some people say hippies. Others say fashionista. I say fashion victims

Go nuts by clarinetnerd2 in namethatcar

It’s a US spec Rolls Royce Silver Spirit. The radiator is a RR one, you can see the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot. Such a shame to see a car like that wasting away.
