does anybody know if they do vehicle renewals at nct places on saturdays.
-
What do ye mean by vehicle renewals Doc?
-
actual vehicle renewal.
the new circle stickers on the windows.
-
actual vehicle renewal.
the new circle stickers on the windows.
Licence Renewal......no,Mon-Fri.
-
oh bbbbbbbbbollocks.
-
On the plus side it's currently free, gratis and for nothing.
-
i knew the nct was free did'nt know the licence renewal was on the arm as well. that's brilliant.
here's my problem.
a few months ago my brakes were in rag order. i can't remember exactly why i could'nt go to my mechanic.
there mira been an outbreak of the cough at his place or something.
long story short i got these bogey russian cunts to change them and they made a bollocks of it.
i've been experiencing intermittent loud squealing from the brakes ever since.
i knew my licence is up at the end of 31 jan 22.
that means 01 feb 22 it's gone.
problem is for the last couple of weeks all of a sudden i've been gettin loadsa brake related fault lights and warning messages.
they'd pop up for an hour and then dissappear for a week.
i had my regular mechanic fit the brakes properly and booked the nct but the warning lights came back and i hadta cancel the nct.
he had anudder crack arrit and the warning lights went away. they came back and i hadta cancel the nct a second time.
the car has to be looked at a third time tomorrow and fuckin stripped down.
the russian cunt is after damaging something.
the next earliest nct i could get is saturday and presume i'll pass.
the soonest possible time i can ring the licence renewal crowd will be monday which happens to be 31 jan 22.
when i go for the new stickers the follyin day or whatever the licence will have lapsed bur since i'll be ringin them on the last day while it's still valid i'll be ok won't i and i won't be on the hook for a 500 pound late renewal.
what do yiz reckon yiz cunts.
i'm in a nawful state here.
-
It's all a loada bolsheviks Doc.
-
very good.

Hopefully a phone call to the NTA will ease your mind.
-
You aint looking too good there DMG, but at least there is the NTA discount fer short late renewals;
Expired Licence Replacement Fees;
Replacement of any category of SPSV licence after expiry date €500
Refund Payable if any category of SPSV is re-licensed less than 10 days after expiry date €250
Refund Payable if any category of SPSV is re-licensed more than 10 and not less than 30 days after expiry date €150

I reckon that you will be hit with the Monkee late renewal fee but you should get a 250 refund if'n ya get it sorted within 10 days.
To be fair to the NTA they will assist you well to get you a suitability test on short notice once you have an NCT cert, but you might have to travel to get it.
-
when i ring to book the licence renewal my plate is still active though.
i'm not ringing to reactivate a licence that's been on ice for a few months or whatever.

I dunno about that DMG, your on thin ice there and the odds are not in your favour.
But Best of Luck with it all, at least it's only 250 after the refund.

Dem's the brakes.

i reckon i'll be grand.
-
i reckon i'll be grand.
No, actually I think you won't be grand.
I'm just remembering back about 7 or 8 years ago I left everything till the last minute and after passing NCT the NTA managed to get me an appointment in Waterford just a day before my license expired so I had to drive to Waterford (2 hours) to pass my suitability test or else be hit with a late renewal fee.
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings DMG but I reckon you will have to pay the Monkee late renewal fee upfront and then make a refund claim fer the 250 if you happen to pass suitability within the next 10 days.
-
There might be another way, ring me, I sent you my number by PM.
-
good news.
my electronic handbrake is bollocksed along with some other gear.
fork out for a brand new one or wait for a second hand one off ebay.
proper repair bill to look forward to.
i can forgerrabow being able to renew it in time.
mechanic reckons the botched brake job is'nt at fault and was coincidental.
i'll havta get her to ring up the nta and say he's no money. he's goin around with holes in his jacket for fuck sake etc.
-
There might be another way, ring me, I sent you my number by PM.
send us a message there.

I did by PM, but sur tis no good now anyway as you won't make NCT and suitability in time.
That electronic handbrake fault on the Avensis is often related to the DPF being full.
-
I wouldn't be giving up just yet DMG !
I still think there is a way, it might be a long shot, but ring me and we see.

i know that but my dpf is gone and this is exclusively brake/handbrake fault warnings.
were yegonna tell me to disconnect the battery and reconnect it ye dirty little monkey.

I thought NTA abolished late renewal fees on account of the COVID '19 anall?
-
Found it;
"Late renewal fees waived until 30 June 2022."
Delira. I'm gonna go up the NCT now and tell them to look over there for 10 minutes and unplug the battry. see if it gets ridda the fault codes temporarily. letch yiz know how i gerron.
-
Can't wait.
What make of car is it?
-
avensis T27.
how come ken did'nt know there was no late renewal fees.
gangster.
-
To be fair, Watty's usually on the ball with stuff like that.
-
Or the erm... There's no better man than the erm to tell you how to get stuff for nothing. He put me on to a free ADI licence including training course worth 2.25 large in total and put me wide to the baby PUP (PTSE)... still getting €131.80 free money every Friday with no restriction on earnings.

disconnected the battery for 15 mins and reconnected but the warning lights remained. the nct chap said it's only a visual retest. no charge. i've been driven mad the past few months by this buzzing/vibrating/crackling noise that seems to be comin from the back of the dashboard. when the engine is really working on the motorway that's when it happens. investigating around a month ago i found a single hexagonal bolt just sitting near the engine. what the fuck is that off. it must be rattling around and causing the noise but the noise remained. when i was disconnecting the battry i hadta remove the air filter box to loosen the positive cable and happenned to look at the filter. was'nt sittin properly. there was a sheet of foam from the fuckin box still stuck to the filter. the filter box is bolted down from the inside with 3 hexagonal screws with 1 missing. when the engine is working hard the box is vibrating like fuck and causin the noise. jaysussssssssssssssss

DMG get yer hands on an OBD reader.I think Halfords sell them.Clear the codes yourself hopefully without messing with the battery.
https://youtu.be/JF-KJ5-KNQk
-
i've noticed all these little cunts that are being broken in by my mechanic the last while. i'm wondering what the motivation was to attempt to unbolt the air filter box from the inside and then botch putting it back together.
-
this is me when i can't find out what's causin irritating noises.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Oiy5RcDf40
-
Could have been an old repair to something underneath the airbox and it's only loosening up now.I hate letting anyone near my car.
-
there was a bolt removed from it and that was the one sitting there rollin around on a panel beside the engine.
-
Just incompetence then.He probably couldn't find the bolt for whatever reason and couldn't be bothered telling you.A lot of mechanics are under pressure and are working on two or three vehicles at a time while they wait for parts.
I dunno but I'm assuming he air filter box needed to be removed for access on a previous repair.
-
Here DMG I found a vid where ya need to remove the airbox to clean/service the fuel filter on a t27.Probably other things too.
https://youtu.be/3KJoXE8iKR4
-
ah fair play. i did'nt know the fuel filter sat behind it.
can't put a fuckin filter in properly or put the bolts back on properly.
little cunt whoever he was.

my plate is expired.
if i gerra call from my regulars over the next couple of days will i be gameball if the roof sign is off.

i know that but my dpf is gone and this is exclusively brake/handbrake fault warnings......
Handbrake fault light and DPF fault lights often come on together fer some strange reason.
I'm having the same issue myself fer the last 5 months, seemingly it's all a DPF problem ??
My Joe gone into Toyota main dealer this morning to finally get it sorted.
I want the DPF either cleaned properly or replaced, shit sick of all the lights on the dash.
-
Is it still under warranty?
Do they cover the DPF ?

Nope on warranty !
I bought it in July 2020, first DPF light came on in Aug 2021.

i'd mine removed a few years ago. kept gerrin all the brake and check engine light warnings and the car would go in to limp mode. silly way of warning you because it's confusing. the new avensiseses say clearly dpf full on the dashboard. they usually have a lifespan of around 200,000 kms. when you remove it you'll gerra very strong fume smell owa the exhaust. whatcha wanna do is add a lirrle birra dipetane at every fill up. cost 2 big ones for a brand new dpf.

I've noticed a few heavily armed Garda checkpoints up above in Dublin of late. Put your interior light on as you approach so they can see you're white if all you documents aren't up to date.

Did you not get that fixed a few weeks ago... or did your so-called mechanic just fuck the same stuff you did in the tank and charge you 4 times the price of it?

i added that stuff to my car frequently when my dpf was really starting to act up but it did'nt help.
maybe my yoke was too far gone for it to do antin.

Maybe time to buy an EV, Doc?

i folly the school of hermann goering when they were developing the amerika bomber.
1000km/h, 1000 kgs of bombs and 1000 mile radius.
in this case i would'nt buya lectric car unless it hadda range of 1000 kms.

Yea, that seems to be the case constantly, Toyota had me Joe ready in 2 hours on Mon morning, I'm sure that's just another band-aid job.
The wynn's DPF cleaner and the higher grade diesel in circle K help, but I reckon it needs a proper fix ??
-
You'd think the main stealers would know what they're at. I can read the soot levels in my motor with my €30 (VAG specific) OBD Eleven device. AFAIK, if it doesn't regenerate at 24g and return to <=6g after regeneration the filter is fucked and needs to be replaced, althogh there are specialists who advertise reconditioning. Anyway, I haven't had an issue with mine yet. Hopefully, the bit of motorway driving I subject the motor to will keep it that way.
Are you using the correct grade of engine oil and changing it in accordance with manufacturer recommendations? Our bog standard EN590 diesel is as low sulpher as can be got so I don't see any point in paying more for something that's no better. In fact I bet the "better" stuff is EN590 as well! However, oil quality is apparently relevant to DPF soot levels.

Toyota yesterday turned off all the dash lights (FOC) and gave me a written estimate fer a replacement DPF filter and rocket cover, 2464.77.
I'll talk to my local mechanic tomorrow and see if a clean out from a DPF cleaning company fer about a Trummer might suffice ??

Rocker covers or rocker boxes are covers that are put over the rocker arms in a combustion engine. Their main purpose is to keep dirt away from the rocker arms whilst keeping the oil in. ... The rocker cover gasket in turn seals the joint between the rocker box and the engine.
Soz!
-
I have no idea of the difference between a rocker or a rocket,
but my estimate clearly states rocket cover ??

May the good Lord forgive my blasphemy but Christ, that's pricey.

how many kms on the car ken?

Ken I hope you sort it out cheaper.
Who tops up the oil in it ken?
I remember a thread where you overfilled the oil in your last Avensis.Apparently, that can damage the catalytic converter.
-
ye should'nt be havin any major problems until around the 200,000 kms mark.
a mechanic can either wash the carbon out of it or they can do what's called a forced regeneration of the dpf which burns all the ash owa the yoke.

It will I know of 2 lads that have there’s taken out and both recently passed Nct . Personally I didn’t think they would , I myself paid €600 to have taken out , cleaned and replaced and not convinced it made much bloody difference.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTERS – REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE
At David Stokes Motors, we offer a full DPF cleaning, maintenance, and repair service. Our years of experience combined with the latest equipment and technology mans that we are your one stop shop for all your DPF needs.
A DPF, or Diesel Particulate Filter, fitted in the exhaust system, to catch any particles such as carbon and other pieces of dirt. This essentially reduces emissions and ensures these pieces are not released into the atmosphere. A DPF is a relatively new type of filter, and we have found that many of our customers are unsure of what exactly the DPF does, are unaware of the warning signs of any issues, and simply don't know the importance of properly maintaining the filter system.
An effective DPF is hugely important to the overall safety of your car, and any blockages or problems can cause issues in other parts of the engine or electrical system. That's why routine cleaning and regular servicing is needed to ensure that your DPF runs smoothly at all times.
DPF REPAIRS
David Stokes Motors are DPF specialists. That means that we quickly identify any issues in your DPF and have the issue rectified quickly. We have invested in all of the latest DPF equipment and technology which allows us to provide a fully comprehensive DPF service to all of our customers.
The majority of DPF issues begin with blockages. The DPF is a self-cleaning system. However, if you drive short journeys, regularly drive in the wrong gear, or drive in a lot of start-stop traffic, this function cannot work properly. The build up of particles and dirt will block the filter and ultimately lead to repairs, or even a replacement being necessary. If these issues are ignored, problems can start to appear in other parts of the car such as the engine or ECU. At David Stokes Motors, we can quickly and correctly identify the cause of the problem and conduct the necessary repair work. We are the only garage in Europe who can currently test for the efficiency of the DPF and the production of particles while the car is running.
DPF WARNING SIGNS
There are a number of ways to tell if your DPF needs to be checked by a professional mechanic.
These include:
Engine Checklight Appears
Loss of Power
Smoke from the Exhaust
Burning Smell
Poor Fuel Consumption
If you notice any of these signs, you should bring your car into David Stokes Motors as soon as possible for a free diagnostic check.
If there is an issue we can repair it quickly before the problem spreads. We will also provide you with an efficiency report to certify that your DPF has been repaired and is now working properly again. The cost of replacing a DPOF can be up to €5000 so it always better to have it repaired as quickly as possible.

Thanks Tarmac, hopefully JD motors in Cork can do similar.
-
Looking at that site they want you to send them the dpf (removing it probably another few hundred depending on how friendly your mechanic is)
-
They are only 10 minutes away from where I live, so hopefully I can drop the car to them and collect it the next day.
Even if it is a Monkee, it's a lot better that 2464.77 !
I must talk to my local mechanic first (whom I trust) before making a decision about what to do.
-
Ken do your sums and see how much it would cost to upgrade to a second hand Corolla hybrid.This DPF is gonna keep costing you over the next few years.Sell the avensis while it's still worth something.
-
Maybe DPF failure is Toyota's real reason for ending production of diesels?
With Ken's luck the battery would probably explode ifn he bought a hybrid. I guess the conundrum is that his motor is wort €10k scrap against an EV and probably will be for a few years yet regardless of condition.
Would removing it be an option with a mind to having it cleaned and replaced if it fails the NCT? I know lads with the old petrol Avensis who used to get CATs fitted just for the test, a lad in Donabate sorted them out. Maybe a similar policy for the DPF i.e. fit for test, take out next day?
-
Someone said before that that particular engine was developed and borrowed from BMW as Toyota had given up on diesels.Not many of us on here would wanna taxi a BMW but essentially that's what Ken has.All the unreliability of a luxury brand in the chasis of a boring Toyota.
Set it on fire Ken and claim off the insurance.Everyone makes mistakes...
-
i removed my dpf yonks ago.
passes the nct no problem.

Stands up on bus upstairs and shouts.."I don't know what a DPF is"... ??? ??? ???

It is indeed a BMW engine as my local mechanic told me last week.
Boring ? with a D4D 2 Liter engine it is hardly Boring !!

I will get it fixed this time around regardless of the cost as I do really enjoy the car and there is 5 years left on the license but if it acts up again I will have a re-think. I don't really want to go Corolla hybrid automatic till I'm over Sixty which will be at next license renewal.

I talked to my local mechanic this morning, he was totally against the idea of fully taking the DPF out of a 5 year old car saying that if it was an old banger then maybe yes, but defo not on a 171.
He was also against the idea of paying Toyota 2.5 large fer a replacement DPF, and suggested that going to JD motors fer a DPF clean was by far the best option, so I'm booked in with them fer Monday 21st Feb and should have it back the next day and the cost as expected is a Monkee which is a lot better than 2.5 large. I'll let ye know how I get on.
I'll throw a bottle of that Wynn's DPF cleaner stuff in over the weekend to keep it ticking over till the 21st.

He was also against the idea of paying Toyota 2.5 large fer a replacement DPF, and suggested that going to JD motors fer a DPF clean was by far the best option, so I'm booked in with them fer Monday 21st Feb and should have it back the next day and the cost as expected is a Monkee which is a lot better than 2.5 large. I'll let ye know how I get on.
I'll throw a bottle of that Wynn's DPF cleaner stuff in over the weekend to keep it ticking over till the 21st.
Whilst having the dpf cleaned ask your mechanic to take out and clean your egr valve .

Dja know that when one renews one's regular driving licence, the renewal starts from the date of application, and not from the expiry date of the one which one is renewing? Just lost 2.5 months on it. Pity that they don't tell on that before one applies. Apparently there is a Euro regulation to cover that .

Didn't notice until you typed it. I gained 6.5 months on account of the COVID '19 anall extension. 8)

fuckin disaster.
went for renewal up in ballyscum earlier and failed because the time on my meter was twenty minutes out of whack.
you're bleedin jokin me. never noticed it.
then i remembered a few year ago the blondie wan over in skan sayin the meters go out of a whack a few minutes every year and ye wanna be wide to it and fiddle it back every once and a while.
i did'nt hear a word she said because i was imaginin myself on top of her with my boney arse goin ninety bouncin up and down.
now i havta get the meter resealed and do a retest but they're all backed up te fuck for a couple of weeks.
i'm havinta after havinta book one in ken country down the bog in athlone for friday.
what is the crack for the licence renewal though. do i havta book a retest and if so how much. can't reference antin online about retests. or do i just show up at northpoint again with the failure sheet and say the meter is grand now stick the bleedin stickers on.

I don't think you have to get your meter resealed and re-verified unless you took the security stickers off? The time on the meter on my old Octavia used to wander a bit. It was only a ten minute job and a €15 for the guy in the garage to set the correct time. On top of that, most meters allow you to change the time by a couple of minutes every week or two, depending on the model & if you remember.
Re the licence renewal retest (or suitability retest), I think you just ring up and rebook. Why are you going down to Athlone? If you rang tomorrow, you'd probably get a retest in Ballymun next Mon or Tues? The price is the same, as far as I can remember, but it's an expense against your tax bill so not the absolute end of the world.
-
Nah....you'll have to book a retest...and pay for it,whatever that is....30 bucks or thereabouts.

your man that failed me said ye havta ger the time fixed and sealed again to pass. your man over in skan broke the seal to fix the time. the earliest resealing i can get is athlone.
-
Wow, my mechanic just pressed buttons on the meter and corrected the time. Never broke the seal...
Good luck with it, btw.

i think you're thinkin about the game 30 year ago.
ye know when you'd have car agro and you'd just throw the fuckin roofie on her car and go out and pick cunts up. evertin hasta be above board these days.
i was chattin to a lovely nigerian aulfla up there. we were gerrin both our cars examined. brand new electric car he was gerrin passed out. like a fuckin harrier jump jet it sounded like. havin a great chat about the chink virus. we do have fuckin plagues once a month where i come from he says. it's all a loada bollocks is'nt it. it certainly is big man. talkin about all the plunderin we did durin the great coke festival apr-jul 2020. that cheered me up anyway.

I didn't use this crowd (http://www.mirrortaximeter.ie/meter%20manual.htm), just found them with a google search...
ATA Primus & Gleike Instructions .Common questions and answers :
Q : how do I adjust the time on my meter ? :( standard and mirror meter both operate the same )
Reply: By law you are only allowed to adjust the time by + or - 2 minutes every seven days, its quite simple to do, download the Irish owners hand book from the link, at the bottom, if you have not adjusted your time over a very lengthy period, the time could be out by a greater amount than 2 minutes, you have two options, the first option is to reduce or increase the time every seven days by 2 minutes, or contact you nearest ATA installer who will adjust it for you in one go.
-
that's correct. it'll lose a few minutes every week and you can adjust it by 2 minutes once a week without havin to break the seal but if you let it accumulate like i did the seal will havta be broken and the time brought back in line with a bang.
-
that's correct. it'll lose a few minutes every week and you can adjust it by 2 minutes once a week without havin to break the seal but if you let it accumulate like i did the seal will havta be broken and the time brought back in line with a bang.
For years I adjusted the car clock to exactly match the meter clock, worked a dream when I was 5 to 10 minutes out.
When it was out by more than that, one of the mechanics deftly removed the seal and adjusted the clock, replacing the seal without a bother.

What's the "outa whack" limit? Mine's at -9 mins, LRA on 24/2.

You say that the limit is "20 something" but you werefailed at 20, so what is the out of whack limit to pass?
-
sorry my meter was outta whack 20 somethin minutes.
don't know the limit.
-
What's the "outa whack" limit? Mine's at -9 mins, LRA on 24/2.
The clock on the meter can be up to 20 minutes out for LRA.
A few years back my meter installer guy told me it was 11 minutes incrementation allowed fer suitability.
I remember it distinctly because he used the word 'incrementation' and I was sure that he had just made that word up, so I went home and googled it and he was correct.
-
@ DMG, If your cute about it then maybe you can book your suitabilty test straight after the reseal in what is most likely the same building in Athlone ?
I did it in Cork a few years back as both tests are done in the same premises, I rang suitability first asking what slots they had available and writing them all down without making a booking and then rang the reseal crowd and got a slot 30 minutes before my suitability inspection and did them both at the same time.
There was a thread on here before about it. http://intaxi.org/forum/index.php?topic=9998.0 (http://intaxi.org/forum/index.php?topic=9998.0)

That was in the old meter sticker days, I don't think you can do that anymore with the new 'hamster wheel' yoke hanging off the meter.

It's still a sticker on my Hale, when I change vehicle or the NTA finally pay us our 4% price increase they'll probably install the new device.

"The clock on the meter can be up to 20 minutes out for LRA."
Can I take that as gospel RC? Is it written anywhere official ...like?
-
i booked my retest and i mentioned to the chap on the fuckin phone that i happenned to be down in athlone on a birra business tomorrow and could i maybe arrange to do the sooribility there since it's a one horse town. my meter sealin is at two o'clock. he says you're lucky. there's a slot available...but it was only at 10 in the morning which wudda put the cart before the horse. gick anyway. got a slot at greenhills on tuesday. gick.
-
wait now, does the fuckin meter havta be ian bealed to pass suitability?
-
Managed to move mine forward 2 mins today. One has to wait until the meter clock reads exactly 2 minutes before the top of the hour if it's slow, or 2 minutes after the top of the hour if it's fast, then press buttons 2 and 3 together, and it will auto correct by 2 minutes to the make it exactly the top of the hour. Can be done once per week at the top of any hour except midnight. I'm now only 6 mins slow, and if I remember the next 2 Thursdays if will get it to 2 mins slow for the LRA.

Taximeter (pg 26 of 35)
Requirements:
The taximeter shall be fitted (sealed) with the official
verification marks signifying conformity with the Metrology
Act 1996: an exception being at Late Renewal where it is
not possible for LMS to verify a meter in a (unlicensed)
vehicle where the licence has expired.
Reasons for failure:
Printer/taximeter displays
obviously incorrect initial fare
charge or obviously wrong time of
day
Taximeter not sealed with official
verification marks signifying
conformity with the Metrology Act
1996. NOT AT LATE RENEWAL
-
ah hold on te fuck, because my licence is expired i don't havta have it sealed for suitability. is that what you're sayin?
-
I'm saying nuthin' ::fds that's what the manual is saying
-
ah jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjaysusssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
i'll havta ring up cock's crow tomorrow and see if they can still do me in athlone.
-
You'll be grand, BS. One of the inspectors told me it's 20 mins when I was close to that limit at my LRA before last. Needless to say, I forgot to knock the two minutes/week off with my memory being the way it is these days. The limit for meter sealing is significantly lower at +/- 6 mins as per NSAI manual.
I remembered before my most recent LRA so decided to go to Mechanic24 or whatever that Kessie shyster trades as these days. They said they could fix it without breaking the seal and charged me €20 for doing so... with no receipt available because "ah you know yourself bud".
It then failed the LRA because Kessie's mob broke the seal. Interestingly though, the gentleman said he'd pass it and fit the stickers as soon as I booked the meter in for sealing which I did straight away, dodging the retest fee. Obviously, I could have cancelled the sealing appointment and got my money back but, on reflection, I concluded that making the booking amounted to giving the inspector my word that I'd get it sealed. My word is my bond.

another foray in to the murky wurdild of an expired taxi plate. drove down to fuckin athlone to get the meter jizz jazzed. tiny lirrel nct place. a gorgeous woman came out and over to my car. around 40. woolie hat. very dark black thick hair and amazin brown eyes. ye know that real shitty colour. sallow complexion with the sexy muck savage accent. she opens the passanger door. who wansta dance with the tinker's daughter. gowan owa that. ye should'nt a came she said. i was bitin my lip. seriously we tryta ring ye early this smornin sayin we can't ian beale your meter. i was in a coma at the time in me queen size bed. i noticed i'd a missed call but i thought it mighta been pablo escobar jr in darndale or some other little toerag lookin for me. i tried to access the answerin machine but i gorra loada bollocks on the line. we can't verify the meter until after you've renewed the licence says she. i thought it was dudder way round. ye can't verify the meter until after you've renewed the licence. says she that's what i just said is there sumtin wrong with ye. will i gerra birra chalk out to explain it to ye. ye know wharri mean says i. fuckin brutal carry on. she turned round and went over to this other aulfla who was gerrin his meter rathkealed out of it. never noticed she was wearin a dirty big tracksuit. as i was pullin owa the pokey lirrel carpark i could see her tellin your man that cunt is after comin all the way from dublin for nuttin. desperate it was. i wudda been like a demon but i was nursin a serious boner all the way home. would'nt that sicken your hole. i'm in a bad way here.
-
Book the LRA before your next meter sealing appointment. Once you pass the LRA you could cancel the meter sealing and get a full refund... if that's the way you want to roll.
-
i'm not witcha at all.
what the fuck does LRA mean.

Licence Renewal Assessment.

sorry fair play.
butcha can't drive round with a meter that is'nt rathkealed.

Apology accepted.
Can't or shouldn't? It's unlikely anyone other than a highly skilled sticky tape examiner would notice that the then sticky tape seal had been lifted... and less likely that anyone would give a fuck.
We're due a fare review which with/or the additional bank holiday to mark the memory of Saint Brigid will necessitate resealing soon enough anyway.
-
I got a new meter to go with my shiny new EV taxi. The next meter sealing appointment was something like a month away. Technically you could be fined but you can't expect a self-employed driver to park up for a month or two just because he was doing his bit for the environment and all the little children on planet earth.
Same with your taxi driver's licence. The Gardai give you your paper licence which is the legal bit but it takes the NTA 4 or 5 months to actually give you your plastic licence which is the bit you get fined for. Technically you can't work until you get your bit of plastic but obviously it's ignored as long as your licence application is on file.

around 10 year ago i hadta rent a taxi for few months til i decided what new car i wanted. it happenned to be round the time of a new fare increase and the renter said wudje mind goin over to skan so smiler grogan himself can update the fare. when it was done ken had half the seal stuck near the radio and other half remained on the meter. i says to the renter what'll we do about the meter sealing. it is sealed he says. no ken hadta break the seal to update the fare. no it is sealed he says. i did'nt realise he was playin dumb and what he was sayin was wudje ever fuck off and leave me alone please. i cellotaped the removed portion of the seal back on to the meter perfectly where it met the other half. around two weeks later i was parked onna rank watchin an interview with dirk benedict from the a-team and gorra knock on the window. taxi regulator. show me this show me that. print us a receipt. pleasant aulfla. he peeped in at my meter and smelled a rat. is the meter sealed. as far as i know it is. it looks funny. maybe that's just the way it was done he says and shrugged his shoulders and moved on to the next car. the new seals are'nt stickers. it's like a button recepticle and the button itself gets clipped on over it at the meter sealing. like clampin a wheel. no fiddlin with that sucker.
-
That seems to adequately contradict your previous assertion. Apology eile accepted.
I have the new one... It's like a miniature ball of thread that women and the like would use for darning socks or some such. Not sure how it fits on the new fangled mirror meters?

it was'nt my car so i was'nt on the hook.
i flagged the issue with himself and i was fucked off.

if you are a solid ranker 2 times a year.
with the prevalence of the apps the only place you might get stung would be at a checkpoint which i've only encountered once in my career. 5 year ago lashing rain saturday afternoon and the cunt asked me to gerrowt and show him the safety kit. i saw a guy get the full old bill treatment from the regulator outside the wright's hole in swords a few year ago. it cudda been something proper like a cloned car or sumtin but i'm a well respected member of the community and there would be uproar at the guards from the people if i was caught doin something wrong. can't risk it.

Well respected when they want a neck to puke down the back of... It didn't bother you in the rental. Contrary to your belief, if anyone was fined in that case it would be you as the offence is to operate the taxi without a properly verified meter. If you were an immigrant you would have been fined and/or shot.
-
The inspectors are at the Airport and Heuston station all the time.You don't interact with them really.They put your number in the phone app and unless you've been warned about something or missing a wheel they won't bother ya.
They let the taxis come to them at busy drop of points to maximise their number of checks for their statistics.

If you don't take the grant money and you're due a vehicle change,currently it's a no brainer, especially with the cost associated with a new or secondhand petrol or diesel car with no grants and you still have the same insurance costs anyway.

The VRT rebate is built-in to the list price so nobody mentions it. Too confusing otherwise. I bought a private car that became a taxi a few weeks later. Two separate grants.

You bought the MG5 privately and got the 5k grant(which is built in to the price)...and then you transferred it to taxi and claimed the 20k NTA grant?

Oh....do tell watty!!
You bought the MG5 privately and got the 5k grant(which is built in to the price)...and then you transferred it to taxi and claimed the 20k NTA grant?
FFS have none of youse ever bought a new car before? You have to tax it as a private car before you leave the showroom!
I don't think you can buy a new taxi all plated up from a car showroom.

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options
Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.
We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.
READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022
There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.
The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).
Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.
From RTÉ Radio 1's Brendan O'Connor Show, motoring journalist Geraldine Herbert on making the switch to electric.
Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.
The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options
Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.
We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.
READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022
There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.
The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).
Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.
From RTÉ Radio 1's Brendan O'Connor Show, motoring journalist Geraldine Herbert on making the switch to electric.
Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.
The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options
Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.
We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.
READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022
There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.
The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).
Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.
From RTÉ Radio 1's Brendan O'Connor Show, motoring journalist Geraldine Herbert on making the switch to electric.
Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.
The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.

READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022
There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.
The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).
Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.

Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.
The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.

The significant saving in fuel costs with EVs, and hopefully maintenance costs also, represent the only possible net increase in hourly profits in the last 20 years despite several fare reviews

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options
Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.
We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.

You're missing the point.
We pay for everything unlike bus and train drivers.
The days of cash jobs are gone, we're bringing the drag's of society home for minimum wage or less
To be fair, driving a bus or train requires considerably greater skill than driving a motor car. Hence drivers of such vehicles are required to pass examinations on a regular basis just to keep their licences.
There's still cash work in Dublin. My Free Now takings for the year to date is 49% cash, 51% account. Very little cash on Bolt, by comparison, though at just 6% cash since I joined on 26 Jan. If it's less traceable cash you're after the streets seem extremely busy after midnight - on Sunday mornings at least. My experience of the same would be mainly in Swords and Drogheda but I'd imagine the city would be at least as busy as would any large town with (official) late bars targeting the younger (at heart) clientele.

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options
Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.
We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.
READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022
There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.
The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).
Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.
From RTÉ Radio 1's Brendan O'Connor Show, motoring journalist Geraldine Herbert on making the switch to electric.
Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.
The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options
Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.
We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.
READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022
There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.
The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).
Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.
From RTÉ Radio 1's Brendan O'Connor Show, motoring journalist Geraldine Herbert on making the switch to electric.
Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.
The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.

You don't need to go near the seal to manipulate the inputs upon which the meter relies, primarily the pulse wire.

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options
Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.
We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.
READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022
There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.
The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).
Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.
From RTÉ Radio 1's Brendan O'Connor Show, motoring journalist Geraldine Herbert on making the switch to electric.
Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.
The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.
