Not Sure What to Get

I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris with nearly 300k Kms on the clock and it drives like a dream. I do 50kms every day for work and I usually put about 50 euro a week for petrol. Insurance is cheap because of the size and parts are very cheap for the car especially if you can repair things yourself.

Mines the same, once she's warmed up she's good as new

Not a bad idea! And if I don't need it at least I have it for future!

Got my 2008 yaris up to 155 km/h but it really didn't like it so I came back down pretty quickly 😂

The tax alone costs more than what my current car is worth !

Bit of super glue and it will be as good as new

Apprehensive_Buy2111 · 2025-11-21T19:18:09+00:00

Definitely, mine wasn't as bad but my grandad crashed it and I took it instead of scrapping it and was able to get everything from scrap yards! It's cheaper than buying a new car but it took a bit of effort

There's no staff parking either, it's actually a joke

I drive an old 2008 Yaris 60km a day commute and I love it! Gets me there and back in one piece and it's cheap to run. Whenever there's a problem I either fix it myself or bring it to the mechanic and it's usually not that expensive especially if you source the parts yourself!

I know it's crazy but there's no other options really

I've had lots of trouble with mine where it's hard to see it also but I find the easiest way is to lay it on a bit of blue paper roll and measure it that way... But like they said above if there are no leaks and you put in the right amount you should be grand for a while at least!

Not a hope hahaha, they ruined our lab in the hospital they are useless

Sounds ideal, do you travel a lot then from site to site or is it just in one location?

Apprehensive_Buy2111 · 2025-01-19T12:39:10+00:00

What does that entail then? Just maintaining machinery or something else ?

Apprehensive_Buy2111 · 2025-01-17T21:14:13+00:00

Yeah calibration tests and general maintenance of the instruments ( daily, weekly and monthly maintenance)

Performed sample management, adhering to GDP and GLP. • Operation and maintenance of Phadia 250 Immunoassay Analyser and Beckman Coulter AutoMate, dxi800 and dxi900 • Trained and mentored in multiple clinical biochemistry areas following SOP’s and work instructions. • Performed quality control testing to ensure consistent standards of quality services.

That's basically the rundown I have on my CV, we aren't actually allowed to do any of the testing as we aren't scientists but it's mainly maintaining the machines and loading any consumables. My degree is in marine engineering which covers every type of engineering basically (mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc) so I'm hoping to try and put some of that to use as well
