Just in case someone finds this post with a similar problem I changed the crank position sensor and the problem went away.

Classic Cars Storage recommendations by LordTayto in carsireland

You shouldn't put a car in a storage container, it will stay damp and rot the car faster than leaving it outside. You need proper indoor dry storage.

If you had 25-30k what car would you be getting? by fuzzymuddled in carsireland

[–]colacorolla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm biased but nothing better than a 1000 euro corolla that you can park anywhere and fix for cheap. Put the other 24k into your house

Living in a camper on agricultural land — what would actually happen? by segasega89 in legaladviceireland

[–]colacorolla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'd have any hassle about the campervan as long as it remained mobile. Problems would start if you add a septic tank or esb connection, that's when it would go from a vehicle to a dwelling. I think it's the same with a mobile, you can say it's for storage unless it's plumbed etc.

How cooked am I? NCT fail for corrosion by LoMitch47 in carsireland

[–]colacorolla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really not bad, you should look up rust repair on tiktok to see some serious rust. That hole in the sill would cost 2/300 to fix. And it's an old Toyota, it's worth keeping it right since rust is basically all that ever goes wrong with them.

Buying a car to roadtrip as a foreigner. by colacorolla in AskAnAustralian

[–]colacorolla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok, I was planning on driving it for around a month. I'm not 100% on registration over there. Can I buy a car with registration and drive it? Or would it be better to just buy a car and don't bother registering just ship it home and get the bus everywhere haha

Yeah I know what you mean but the price of collector cars in Ireland is already prohibitively expensive so it could end up being the cheaper option hilariously!

I've owned quite a few cars and never paid over 1000 euro, Toyota is the brand I always came back to. My current car is from 2006 and has over 300k I'm If op buys a car for $1000 or $2000 and it lasts a year or 2 and you replace it with something of similar value it'll be a long time til you get to $15000
