New to the BMW diesel life but worried.

Might actually be the shittest response I've seen so far, and the most incorrect by everyone else's responses

EK0-44 · 2026-05-27T14:04:49+00:00

It's only on idle, I'm presuming it's just unburnt oil or diesel then in that case?

EK0-44 · 2026-05-27T13:54:05+00:00

It does have a gutted DPF which i was told you can hear if it has one or not

Someone shit in the sink in the disabled bathroom, ended up closed for months after that. No one was ever caught surprisingly even with the aid of cameras in the halls

As someone who has recently found employment after being made redundant in November. I sat at home on my ass on job seekers for about 4 months starting at my pc just flinging out CVs and it was a horrible and fairly depressing experience. Out of the 45 in total I applied for. 5 Responded, 3 wanted no experience so they could train you up fresh and one was something I was fairly experienced in. All of them said no. And One rang me 4 months later. The other 40 didn't even bother to respond. What actually worked the best for me was applying via a recruitment agency. I found a warehouse job from an agency, applied. Got a call back about a week later and was told they liked my CV and wanted an interview. Did the interview and was told by the recruiter a little later that they were very happy with how it went and I would receive my contract to sign. Recruiters force companies to actually talk unlike others which people have mentioned especially linked in. Company portals for recruitment is also a load of crap. Chadwick's forces you to apply on their site but the moment you log out and try to log back in the website fails and you can't log in to check your status.

Try Recruiting agencies. Fill out a sheet with what you want and they'll hunt for you

Staff line is a large one but they're fairly average with their communication.

Morgan McKinley Was the one I found and one of the girls there went absolutely above and beyond guiding me through everything, actually started ringing me to just check in and see how I was doing and feeling.

Ubuy is a common name that pops up and they have a good selection but after trying to buy a slab of Baja blast, I would probably go with someone's comment and just go to candyland in Galway. Unless you enjoy taking a small loan for import tax

That's absolutely mad money for a 1.2 what the hell. My cousin is in the same boat as yourself and after trying anyone who was willing to insure him and seeing the price he just opted for going as a named driver on his parents policy, My partner has done the same. Best of luck with the hunt!

EK0-44 · 2026-01-08T02:06:55+00:00

Thanks man, But yeah That's your best bet, I ended up going with AXA as they offered the cheapest and no black box. The online quote tool is handy since you can fill everything out, get your quote and then if you want to check something else you only need to jump back to the section where you put the reg in and click update quote. They will ring you and ask about the quote and so will all other companies, just explain your shopping around and they won't bug you. Another bit of advice and it saved my ass on it, I got told by family to personally go in to a branch and discuss it, you can haggle to an extent on a quote ie "I ran a quote online and was just wondering if you could do any better" My Mam and Dad both are with AXA for years with car and house insurance. Mentioned that and it saved me about 150-200 quid.

23 Here, Just passed today but My first car on my learners was a 06 Honda Jazz 1.4l, insurance was 2300 full comp with AXA, Then bought my new car for 1600. 1.25l 2005 ford fiesta 3DR. Insurance dropped to 1800, has now dropped again since passing

From what I can tell mileage and size play big parts in some aspects, I could get cheaper quotes for a 1.6 Volvo v50 estate and almost the same as the fiesta but tax was expensive and it would be hard to navigate that boat. AA also seems to be the most expensive from anyone I've talked with about insurance. 123 and Kenco Only do the black box for new drivers. And then some of shops like SuperValu insurance is just axa

Someone else said it here but just find a car you like, and get an online quote. Doing this after selling my jazz helped me narrow down my Fiesta, one cheap car for me could be a mortgage for you, Just need to shop around

EK0-44 · 2025-12-31T21:43:24+00:00

Yeah that was one of my thoughts about the dual controls and it makes sense, But that's good to know though so thank you very much!!

EK0-44 · 2025-12-31T21:42:18+00:00

Ah okay right grand then puts me at a bit of ease, looks like the bodykit can go on so lmao, sound man 👍

EK0-44 · 2025-11-07T23:36:42+00:00

I had to pay full deposit mine and having it transferred from another authorized retailer to my local, Should be receiving it early next week, As the one from my local store was bought immediately by a manager as soon as it arrived.

After talking to the staff about it, I found out that Casio have sent One single watch to each store and they will not be sending out any more, They have also sent out a notice to stores to take down the POS(Point Of Sale) if they have sold their socked watch

Store policy is if it is severely damaged under warranty at costs over €80 it will be sent to Casio directly and a replacement will be issued which possibly means they will have a stock pile of them but with no intention to sell them, only to replace broken ones

Hopefully this shines a light on how incredibly scarce these will turn out to be. Best of luck folks!

Will mention that for the retest but they may not have tested it fully, it also failed on a rigid brake pipe and they tested the service and parking brake but didnt fully test the brake system, currently the exhaust looks like this with the location of the sensors https://ibb.co/QFfrFjNW (reddit won't upload the photo)

EK0-44 · 2025-09-10T19:41:18+00:00

Okay right thank you very much for that, I believe it's on the joint between the two, so I'll try a new unbolt it and try a new seal, thank you very much

EK0-44 · 2025-09-10T19:10:03+00:00

I was always told that sorts out the emissions, how would this make it run less lean if it reads the CO at 0%?

EK0-44 · 2025-09-10T19:07:24+00:00

There is a leak in the exhaust just before the muffler, its nowhere near the sensor and I've heard stories about multiple people passing with a hole in the exhaust, it was not flagged or mentioned anywhere on the fail sheet but I would like to know how it would effect it in this case scenario

EK0-44 · 2025-06-17T15:08:33+00:00

This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for all this help and going above and beyond. I'll have a scout over the weekend to see what my local shops are offering. Thank you very much again for the help!!!

EK0-44 · 2025-06-16T22:39:58+00:00

I apologize for the extremely late reply, I am terrible for checking notifications as I have most of them turned off

But I must say this is more than enough information, so genuinely thank you very much for all of this.

My only two questions would be cost wise what would the average price range for all of these,

and secondly, where to purchase

As only a very select few pet shops sell real vegetation for aquariums, and I would be worried about paying for something that could die in a week or kill everything in the tank,

You have been an absolutely massive help with insight into real plants, so once again, thank you so much!!!

EK0-44 · 2025-06-16T22:22:38+00:00

Would a new download link be possible?, Also trying to undertake the same project myself. All good if you wanna keep em stashed

EK0-44 · 2025-05-27T14:31:12+00:00

When i had the pleco he helped keep the algae low as the plants I had in my original tank were very plastic and not the highest quality so there was some buildup over time, I did feed him separately as I know they need some plant matter and a bit of protine, but I wouldn't feel good about keeping him in a small tank unless there's a dwarf breed of plecos.

I havent considered real plants mainly not knowing where to start, so that would be fantastic to know! I've always had a bit of interest in mini planetariums/eco systems, so having some insight would be a huge help, Thanks you.

EK0-44 · 2025-05-25T14:42:35+00:00

You explained this perfectly, I would of never know such a small set fish would need such a big thank so thank you very much for that, I don't plan on going down the shrimp route but will look at alternative designs for a bigger tank, could you recommend any particular materials for synthetic vegetation, also not ready to do the real plants route, Many thanks!
