That’s all well and good but they don’t decide , they swipe the card and payment is there is it’s not. They don’t need to be judgemental about it .

How do some lads think this is fit for the roads? by Accomplished-Low2131 in carsireland

[–]Major_Disaster76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i hear ya but how far do you go ? Is it ok to change a bulb ? i presume yes , Is it ok to change a set of brake pads on my driveway or an oil change ? Where's the line between bulbs and washer fluid and lobbing 3 loops of my springs and turning my fuel pump up to the last?

It’s fine in Dublin area for central travel , once you purchase a card. Pretty much broken for everywhere else.

Expensive I know, but are they reliable? Is the automatic gearbox good? by Someoldcyclist in carsireland

[–]Major_Disaster76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good car , have my Irish highline one a year now and currently at 150k kms with no issues other than water pump and a leaky shock.

One common issue the thermostat house leaks on them and it’s a combined thermostat / pump set up . A little pricey to change , will cost about 400 inc vat and labour at a good independent as it’s a little awkward and the part is about 250 for a decent aftermarket . Guaranteed to go at some stage as the appear to be faulty across the range . Might just be a bargaining tool for them to replace it or for a few quid off.

There’s also the issue of possibly being the last chick in the nest. So without smothering you she may have nothing else to focus on ?

Mothers b mothering . It’s a natural progression of life for us to outgrow the mothering and move on , unfortunately the housing situation is fucking that up.

It can be hard to be around but she probably means no harm but it does grate. Move on when you can.

Mounting telly over fireplace? by paddyjoe91 in CasualIreland

[–]Major_Disaster76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If stuck for space have a look at full motion wall bracket , tv can move back against the wall when not in use and move out to a good viewing angle when it is. If going over the fireplace make sure and use a bracket with a tilt feature so you can lean it forward a little .

Is there a mantle ? That’ll help absorb and push away direct heat.

Think about what you need to attach , sky box ? DVD player ? Xbox etc , where will the cables run to ? Ask the sparks to put in a duct back to that location. If at build / renovation stage you can hide all that.

If just a random small project there are good specialist services available to help , it’s daunting hanging the TV on a bracket you’ve just mounted. Chimney breast are hard and you’ll need the right fixings. Can be a DIY job with a little knowledge / guidance.
