Went out the 26th December(Stephen's Day) and everything was closed. Took the week off to spend him the kids, now back out tonight Friday 30th and town is deserted. About 50 taxis parked up at top of Grafton, hardly anyone on the street. Harcourt Street deserted, and Camden Street the same. Did I miss something?
-
I heard from a passenger in the car today that town was jammers last night,only started back myself yesterday(day time) and it was OK,town seemed fairly full today.
-
Bit wierd for Thursday to be busy alright.
-
It bounced every night over the festive season. The 30th is traditionally the quietest with the 31st being the messiest.
Expect every cabbie who took the foot off the gas over Xmas to be out tomorrow in an effort to recoup losses.
NYE is usually boll*cks.
-
It seemed quiet,but I managed a trummer in 7 hours.
All suburb app work(mostly Killiney Dalkey)

The public are probably finding that their wages ran out faster this christmas than previous years.All the doom and gloom on the news and the interest rate increases is enough to force a recession.One bloke I had in me car last month said we're already in a recession but the published numbers havent yet caught up.The brits are already admitting they're in one. 2023 might be different.Dont expect people to be ordering taxis and especially limos like before.
Just in case anyone is looking in all these earnings lads are posting are before tax and expenses like car loans and PSV insurance.Since there's not as much cash the tax man will be taking 40% on the bigger earners on everthing they earned after the summer.300 isnt really 300 like before.Happy new year fukkers!

Sounds interesting considering I spend so much time in the NCT center..
Apart from having to turn up all the time which wouldn't suit me you need some sort of qualifications.I'd get sacked for passing too many cars out.Half of the fails aren't roadworthy issues IMO.
Everytime I actually think about getting another job I realise how easy I have it.
"We require the following: 1. EU/EAA work permit 2. QQI Level 5 motor mechanic qualification or higher 3. At least 1 year post qualification experience as a vehicle testers or mechanic 4."
Seems like a very high qualification to test tyres and oil levels.No wonder they cant get the staff.

They can't get enough mechanics an ther already using unqualified employees as far as I can see ...yuv a mechanical interest...

I’d fukin love to be a Nct tester, I’m one of the oddballs of life who actually enjoys bringing a heep to get tested.
I genuinely love inspecting a car before the Nct to see what it might fail on and being pleasantly surprised on it passing.
Oh I’d be a terrible tester though, all the 20+ year old shitboxes would get a automatic pass while the heeps still on pcp finance would get failed.

I quite like the NCT also. I don't do any preparation or preliminary work for it though, just let the inspectors do their job. In fact, 55 notes is pretty good value for an annual inspection utilising all the tools and gadgets at NCTSs disposal.
However, it can be frustrating when there's a fault they don't find. My current yoke has a wet weather squeak which I think is coming from the rear passenger side suspension which has gone through the National car test undianosed twiice to date. I'm guessing it's rubber... ifn it was the front I'd be 86.87% certain it'd be the anti roll bar bushes but I don't know if there's an anti roll bar on the back. I'll have to sick me noggin under next time I'm changing the rerar brake pads, I guess.
-
Oh... another complaint I have with the NCT is it's effectiveness as far as taxis/hackneys are concerned. It seems completely crazy that a car can fail a roadworthiness test and continue to carry passengers for reward. Logically all relevant licences should be revoked and all relevant signage removed until the car is roadworthy. Believe it or not, I was in a taxi as a passenger last month up above in Dublin only to be told by the driver that the car had failed the National car test and he had to change some bit or other before rebooking. If it wasn't so difficult to hire a taxi up above in Dublin I would have ended the journey there and then. I think I just quipped that I can't play the piano very well instead.

Used to have bit of a knockin wen it was sign for the bushes to go but I never had "the squeek" but apperently its a common problem wit the octavia alledgidy unfortunatelly readin the goggle

Thanks Octy, I'll have a read of that when I have the time/inclination. It can't be anything catastrophic or the NCT folk would have found it, I guess.

Taut them prius was a great yoke ...noticed steam comin out me exhaust ( unusual ammount)...an checked me coolant .....an was low ...topped it up an down its goin slowly ...apparently a common fault barrin a head gasket which is highly unlikely...
Next yoke be electric one way or another ide imagine oops

Nuother ting that dumbfounded me ...thers no low coolant float ting in the ting bottle ting as far as I can see ::fds.......

Isn't there two seperate coolant systems in the Prius, one for the batteries and one for the engine? I know that's the case with the hybrid Starlet or whatever it's called these days.
-
I never really had any issues with the coolant on mine but yes there are two different coolant loops.One for cooling the engine and another for cooling the inverter.I think...

Yes Rat....
..
First off I don't see any much reported gen 4 prius head gaskets goin...an I've no coolant in the oil or visa versa but that doesn't nessesarily mean it isnt the head gasket but ....I believe twas an issue wit earlier models but not this model
Secondly I won't be bringin this problem near the dealer ...I've bean gettin it serviced ther mainly for warranty but
I've zero confidence in them ....in fact I'm absolutley positive sure they'll fuk up me car ....
I'm waitin till I can get it on a hoist an check for leaks but ..I'm sure I noticed too much steam comin out the exhaust the other nite .... it was a cool nite so again unsure ....but i havnt looked inta it but I've this option
https://youtu.be/0N7_crTRDus
if it is the heat exchanger assembly ...
if it's stops usin the coolant then ...I'll be sure I've found the problem ....assuming the piping is the same which I'll check Tommoro or wen I get off me arse
Anyway I m inclined to believe this is a common problem on this car so weel see how it develops.....
Still tucking into the mince pies an left over Christmas cake to be arsed much ::sleep

Something yis may not know but if you get the car serviced by the main dealer they automatically extend the warranty on most parts up to 165000km or ten years.It's called the relax warranty so check it out before ya touch anything Octy.
Bloke in Toyota told me about it when I had the deposit on the Corolla last year.He says nobody really talks about it.
-
Steam coming out of the exhaust is normal in this weather Octy.If yer not using the heap the exhaust gets condensation in it too.I doubt there's anything wrong with it.No harm checking it out though.

Yea weel see ....but it's losing coolant an me instinct is its
Not a leak ....but I'll have a look ....anyway just aswell it's January an can take bit time out to look inta it ...

I had that issue when I first got my prius octy. Luckily it was still on warranty. They replaced the head gasket, so they told me. The problem persisted. They disconnected the coolant system from the exhaust. The problem persisted. In the end they replaced the whole exhaust, so they told me and its been fine since. When I first went to them Yer man tried to say it was just steam. I assured him it wasn't as it completely filled up the 3 lanes on the m50 with white smoke. No amount of steam will do that. Also when it was ticking over in my garden the smell from the exhaust was a strong, acrid type of smell. Rotten actually. In the end I took a video of the smoke pouring out of the car and Yer man politely agreed it wasn't steam. My suggestion to you is drive it around for a bit to heat it up and then pull in and put your foot right down on the accelerator to fire up the petrol engine, hold it there and when the smoke or steam starts coming out have a good whiff of it. Hopefully it's just steam but it sounds like the issue I had, unfortunately. Best of luck.

Yea ...that's wat I be afraid of that they'd say I need a new head gasket wen i didnt an fuck up the engine ......
Wat year is yur car Horse?

2017 octy. I'd be telling them to check the coolant is not leaking into the exhaust before they go near any head gasket. Unfortunately I can't tell you how much my problem cost to fix as it was done under warranty, thank God. Did you have a whiff of the smoke yet?

I havnt really had the chance to look at it yet Horse....but it's highly unlikely to be antin else causing it ...
I'm tinkin this is a big problem with this model ...
I'm actually dumbfounded thers no coolant low level warning
Device fitted to the car ..its gross negligence wit this problem wit the heat exchangers leaking ...
Ide say thers plenty fuked up engines goin around...
Anyone buyin a new prius shud be alert to this problem...
Anyway I'm goin try bypass it ...because if it goes this early ...the next one will go aswell in another 100k ..an because the cat is part of the assembly ....I don't even want to ask toyota how much they are .....
Anyway I won't be buying another prius wit a massive achilles Heel like that ......

,,^^^^Octy I'd still take it up with the dealer.You were one of a few people who bought them new back in 2018.In the US it's covered under some emmisions warranty they have there I believe.It appears to be a known issue and your vehicle was built in the same factory.The Toyota dealer should push to head office to cover it as a goodwill gesture.Toyota are fairly defensive about their reputation.

This is the letter I got from Toyota head office regarding the inverter, perhaps the same rules apply to other components:
Good afternoon, Herr Bullet,
May we also thank you for your support of Toyota and for taking the time to contact us directly.
Please be advised we are only in a position to determine outstanding recall campaigns for vehicles distributed directly for the European market. We note from our correspondence, your vehicle was originally distributed for a market outside of Europe.
Therefore, in order to determine whether or not your vehicle is included in any outstanding campaigns, we would ask that you make contact with your nearest Toyota Main Dealer/Authorised Repairer who will complete a Private Export Campaign Information form based on your vehicle details.
The Dealership will then submit this form to our Campaign team who will liaise with Toyota in the originating country in respect of your vehicle.
Our campaign team will then revert to your Toyota dealer to advise.
Please follow the link to find the Toyota Dealer nearest to you.
Thank you for contacting Toyota Ireland.

Had to make up a metal u pipe . But the one rubber one I put up here wud of bean good to connect the other end ...but ther 3 weeks away from America an a fortune in post but probably worth it ...cudnt find one in Europe but ther sure to be ther
If yu know a friendly plumber he cud make a copper pipe up for ya ...16 mm u shaped to fit the hoses

Might be worth trying a bit of water mains hose for size. The external diameter is somewhat bigger at 21mm (fits IR 3/4" connections) but they are quite thick walled and, although rubber, would be stronger in terms of water pressure than copper.

I showed pic before I put pipe on hal ....but didn't ( forgot ) take any of the fix ..you'll need a hoist
I put a made up pipe on ...its pretty good but ...the one I ordered be better as its tucked up further from the exhaust an further from the ground an will eliminate unessessary pipin....
Be a lovely job ....
Anyway I'll see how it goes ....
These yokes go around 100 k or sooner I'm hearing an cost a fortune as they include the cat so anyone who's gettin a newer prius mite be interested in this ..and if its successful...
I can't see any negative outcomes but weel soon find out .... oops

It's supposd to be the same engine as the new Corrolla.Maybe they fixed the issue on later models.Glad you got it sorted.
Is there an engine temperature gauge on the new Prius?
If not an OBD reader will allow you to monitor the coolant temperature if it's a concern.Bit fiddly but ya can look into it.

So far coolant has remained at full but havnt done lot drivin ..

Thers no temp gauge oops

The car is deffo monitoring the temperature of the fluids so it will let you know hopefully if it gets too hot.My coolant is never above 82°C according to my OBD reader thing.

Good result Octy.
What was the purpose of the coolant pipe that you blocked off?Heat recovery or something else?

Here Octy I got curious about this and found this video.It sounds like it's similar to your issue.Yer man just swapped over the connection on the coolant pipes under the bonnet.Dunno if ya saw it already.
