Hi all..just wondering is Tadgh o Shea still at the taxi meter work in cork and if so could someone kindly PM his number.. Thank u
-
No, he’s not doing it anymore.
-
Try Eugene across from the south infirmary.
I think he bought out Tadgh o Shea.

What date do the meters have to have the new fare structure installed by?

How much does it cost?

How much does it cost?
Bout 40 odd quid... Plus resealing

Heard of one crowd charging €80, can't remember which. Stuart Kessie does mine, rang him yesterday and he's going to get back to me to let me know when he'll be visiting the beautiful seaside resort town of Balbriggan. Forgot to ask what he's charging. I think it was €50 or €60 last time but it might have been €40. To be fair to South Dublin Autos, they have looked after minor stuff for me FOC from time to time.
-
Just off the phone to Stuart(Kessie),the cost for the reprogramming is €75, their new premises (Mechanic 24)in the Bellevue Ind Est on the Tolka Valley Rd in Finglas is open 24 hrs over the weekend if those night time drivers don't fancy getting up during the day.
-
I think he does them up in your neck of the woods, too.

I meant to ask him but i think i'll avail of the 24hr service...nothing like getting your meter reprogrammed at 4 in the morning!!
-
Reminiscent of the initial installation, crowd from Norn Iron working out of a shed in Finglas in the dead of night, cash only!
-
Cash only...fuk dat...they better take card!! lol
-
Back then all of the Dublin installers were scared shitless of Usher and Gorman, getting a meter into a plata nua was a cloak and dagger affair, gobshites!
-
Very true,sure the intimidation from the old timers especially on the Gresh was ridiculous.
-
It was 30 Notes the last time around, a load of Pox Doob trackie's brought us all out to the Docklands of Cork,
charged us 30 Bucks 'Cash' fer Two minutes work, gave us a confirmation letter and sent us on our way.
The Heurs working the Cork Docks weren't making even a Quarter of what the Doob boys were coining !

Got a appointment to have my Cygnus meter recalibrated just now. Turns out I will have to wait until the 22nd before I can have the pleasure of handing over 75 squid..I think it's a bad time of the year and sure what's the hurry?
-
When is the fare increase actually happening? I've just had a quick gander at the NTA website and it says Feb 2018 'at the earliest'. As far as I can see, they haven't published an official notice introducing it on a specific date.
So even if they did bring it in in Feb 2018, you'd probably have a month's grace or two before your 'old fare' meter became illegal. So if you're not in a rush, you could probably wait until March or April to get it done.
(Don't blame me if I'm wrong and you get a fine C:-) )
-
They've published a list of approved programs as below hence the date must be determined.

Aaah, there it is:
https://www.nationaltransport.ie/taxi-and-bus-licensing/taxi/latest-news-for-spsv-operators-2/page/4/ (https://www.nationaltransport.ie/taxi-and-bus-licensing/taxi/latest-news-for-spsv-operators-2/page/4/)
The Board approved the proposed increase in the maximum taxi fare by an average of 3.22%, to take effect on 01 February 2018.
-
@ RC: Thanks!
Putting on my JohnM hat, the new fares are 'maximums'. And, of course, you're allowed to discount. I wonder could you put up an official looking sign on your taxi. Get it laminated in plastic 'n everything. And say you're giving everyone a 3.22% discount so you're not getting your meter updated to the new fare structure... Could save yourself a few bob on meter sealing etc and use the savings to diversify into the oven-hinge business (http://intaxi.org/forum/index.php?topic=8421.0)?
-
AFAIK you're obliged too have your meter programmed to the current maximum fare.
To answer a question that's invariably asked over taxi radios shortly after midnight on the date of the rate change... If you had your meter programmed in advance and it displays tariff expired or some such you need to end your current shift and start a new one.
-
^ afterthought - if you haven't ended/started a shift since the last fare update do yourself a favour and disconnect/switch off the printer or it'll take an eternity and consume a small forest.

All part of the game wasn't it? Last in new boy gets the run-around. A right few arseholes still knocking about with the tanned right arms and scuffed knuckles. Had the pleasure of listening to one of them I met off Sean Macker Strasse...Champion Ave, I think? He caught me pissing at all hours............how I laughed at his Gestapo-like posture.
-
Might be a delay, fare cards may have to be reprinted. Credit card charge gone.
-
Hard to delay when the programs are approved and already installed in at least 8,342 meters.
-
Fer Cork drivers we will get an automated text some day soon telling us the exact time, date and place of where to go fer meter update.
The cost will be about 75Euro and the place will most likely be the Marina by Shandon boat club (same as last time), the date I'm not sure of but possibly Mon the 15th or 22nd of Jan.
-
Just a note, if anyone needs their meter clock adjusted, then it can be done on the day FOC.
-
Do yis all use the same installer down there?
The clock is always corrected when it's reprogrammed, hardly FOC when you're handing over 75 notes for 3.5 minutes of the programmer's time.
-
How much does it cost installers to get these programmes done?....it cost me 50 a good few years back,then 60 and now 75 eurals.
-
I don't know or can't remember how much it cost hal, I was going to look through my receipts but then I remembered I lost all my records / invoices in the great hurricane Ophelia way back in 2017
-

No, it will be the same bunch of Doob trackies coming down again fer reprogramming,
but at least this time our own (and only I think ?) Cork meter installer 'Eugene' will be part
of the crew on the day.
My Hale meter clock loses about a minute and a half per year, If'n ya ask em nicely then
they will set the clock forward by a few minutes.

I thought it was Thirty the last time ? but Eugene informed/reminded me this morning that it had been Fifty last time.
This time around it will be about 75Euro.
The installers get about a Score per cab, Legal Meterology and the NTA share the remainder of the Spoils !

I think they're pulling the wool over your eyes there. Legal Metrology get their cut from you, c.€90.

The installer gets everything.
He just pays out for the chip for the new program.

Indeed Jack....but i'd love to know what the programmers charge the installers for that chip?
I remember a few years back the queue at SDA,the road into Dolphin Hse and back down to the yard,constant flow of cars over a few days...if not weeks!!
-
They prob buy them in cards of maybe 10 chips.
Around 5 euros per chip I’d say.
-
The guy doin mine had his on a keyring,just plugged it in for a minute or so and that was it...60 bucks...they don't do much please or thanks in SDA.
-
I suppose it’s their Christmas.
How often do you see the meter guy ?
Once every few years, when you change your car and price increase.
May as well ride you every time they see you.
-
I've found SDA good to deal with from a customer service perspective in recent years. I didn't like them for a while after some gurrier took a screwdriver to the centre console of trigger's brush back in 2004 when she was brand new and when I pointed out the damage I was met with sure it's a fukkin taxi it's gonna get scratched a bit, etc...

Ya can't change or update the clock manually on a Hale meter.
The seal needs to be broken by the installer to update the clock.
-
You can adjust for up to 2 mins at the top of the hour once or twice a week. I wasn't asking you, I was telling you.

No ya can't ! This has been well 'trashed out' before on Roy's
and I have checked every Hale website fer more imfo.
I have even checked it out with my meter installer.
You cannot manually adjust the meter clock on the Hale meter
that I have (Microtax 05 version).
-
You can... again it wasn't a question. With the time displayed (within two minutes of xx:00) press the top right and bottom left buttons simultaneously. If that doesn't work press the top left and bottom right buttons simultaneously. I can't remember which pair it is because it's about 5 years and 3 months since I done it last.

I thought they did the sealing in the Airport Ind Est?
-
The last few times I got it done the choice was between NCTS in Ballymun and NCTS in Greenhills. Before that it was Poppintree and before that it was Phoenix Park, never got it done in Airport Ind Est, has it changed again?
-
I think they used Airways Industrial Estate because it was everyone getting reprogrammed. Wouldn’t be surprised if it happens next month

Guaranteed!!
Was speaking to Stuart(Kessie) again,he said they'll be doing the reprogramming over the weekend on a 24hr basis.
-
Gave the NTA and Stuart a bell,unsealed meter won't be a fail item for Licence Renewal cos it's in the timeframe for reprogramming.
-
3 phone calls so far... I see what you're dong, that'll be the hardest 75 notes he ever took!

I was sure it was only 30 or 40 last time, but Eugene told me it was 50 the last time and will be 75 this time.

Thanks Belker, will do.

As I suspected, they don't have a clue who supplies what meters and where, typical transport authority.

You've obviously been knocking around a while...are you surprised? They seem to regard anything other than a ministerial call as an intrusion.

525. Deputy Imelda Munster Information on Imelda Munster Zoom on Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Information on Shane P.N. Ross Zoom on Shane P.N. Ross the estimated cost for taxi drivers to recalibrate meters when fares are increased by the NTA. [41519/17]
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Shane Ross): Information on Shane P.N. Ross Zoom on Shane P.N. Ross Firstly, I should explain that the regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013. Accordingly, fare changes and associated recalibration issues are a matter for the NTA.
However, in order to be of assistance, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
A Munster from Louth...Hal's real name is Herman after all that.
-
Thanks Lip for exposing me on the forum!!
The cost for the meter seal from Legal Metrology is €86.10.
-
I am not knocking around long at all, but it took me about 4 calls to the NTA to figure out what they were like, some of the people they have on the phones have a very good knowledge of the industry but the majority of them seem to have only just started the job that day by the looks of things. I always double check any query with them. The best one was when I rang them before my psv entry test and asked them about the maps reading section, I was told there is no map reading, got to the test center and sat down, saw the map book and asked what it was for, "its for the map reading" >:(
-
You're lucky you weren't around when Kathleen Doyle was in charge. She was really mean and nasty to our unions... for example, when they complained about all dem blax driving clapped out shiteboxes she brought in a nine year rule and then when they whinged about not being able to afford 8 year old cars she let all dem blax keep their then current shiteboxes until they reach(ed) 15 years old... there was just no talking to her!

Can ya do Reseal and Suitability in One test ?
Might be the same company(Applus) doing both tests but making the appointments is two different phone calls(numbers)NTA and Legal Metrology, i'd say trying to coordinate with those two could be what nightmares are made of!!

Book one and when you're there ask the inspector if he can fit you in for the other, they usually do if you're polite and Irish by accident of birth. In the good old days it was customary to give 'em a drink for it but they won't take anything these days.

Thanks Stephen, I'll try that when suitability is due next November.
And Thanks Hal too.
BTW, (Cringing !) I lost that Hale user manual you gave me,
I Planked it in our Douglas street base on the Wednesday
and they had their every 10 year Spring-clean the next day
and it got fooked out.
oops
Any chance of another copy ?

Scan are programming them on Thursday 1st from 7am until 7pm, some shit about the dual program taking a year from the calendar, he has letter from LMS stating drivers have 21 days to have meter sealed, I was able to book my taxi in for the Seal on the 13th despite not having the meter reprogrammed, so I have the appropriate letter if stopped (even though I may or may not have actually had the meter reprogrammed)
-
I was up above in Dublin last night for a pint with a couple of colleagues/competitors. The first they heard of the fare increase was via a threatening text from NTA yesterday or the day before warning them not to operate from 1st Feb unless their meters are reprogrammed and sealed. These are Nokia carriers with no interest in technology so they don't get newsletters since NTA stopped posting them.
-
Got the same text myself!!
-
Indeed but you're equipped to click the link and discover that all you need to do is book a sealing appointment. The Nokia men don't know or want to know what the internet is.
-
A little off topic but I've noticed that ladies of the night tend to use old Nokias as their work phones. They clearly have smartphones as they Hail0 us but then hand you a little old Nokia with the destination address displayed in a text message. I wonder why?
-

Chap in limerick does them,
Could be closer than Dublin for you,
He could be doing some in Galway on a certain day so worth a try,
-
Software for ATA meters not available until Fri or Sat week! Should be interesting if stopped next week by NTA inspectors.
-
you have to be resealed and everything by 01 February.
that's not happening in a million years.
I'm dreading having to ring that mope over in skan taxi.
-
The meter doesn't have to be sealed. Once it is reprogrammed you only have to book a sealing appointment. However, you may not under any circumstances work with a meter that hasn't been reprogrammed.
-
You need to be resealed or have an appointment booked for same by feb 1... there are currently no appointments available at any time. You couldn’t make it up.

Joe Public will be on to Mr. Duffy complaining that he can't get a taxi and all his neighbours that drive cabs are on the piss except for the immigrants.

DEADLINE – 01 FEBRUARY
The Maximum Taxi Fare changes on 01 February.
All taximeters must be programmed (calibrated) AND sealed (verified) with the new fare in order to operate from 01 February 2018.
Calibration is completed by a private taximeter installer of your choice. Verification is completed by Legal Metrology Services (LMS) through its contractor Applus. NTA is not involved in either of these contracts. It is up to the taxi operator to arrange for both calibration and verification in good time.
In circumstances where this is not possible, the taxi may not be operated unless formal evidence from LMS of a verification appointment is provided on the spot by the driver to An Garda Síochána or NTA Compliance Officers.
Operating with a taximeter not appropriately calibrated and verified will attract a fine of €60 up to €250 depending on the circumstances.
Please contact LMS now on 01 413 5951 to book a taximeter verification appointment.

I was on to Applus today and was offered 29th Jan which I refused because I'm not too sure the new increase will go through smoothly.
I'm not sealing my meter before the fare increase date.
After Feb 1st Applus could offer me nothing, only to take my name and number with a promise to ring me back.
-
I booked for an appointment on Monday,was given Thurs Feb 1st,i'll be checking the meter at midnight to make sure the new programne kicks in.
-
A little off topic but I've noticed that ladies of the night tend to use old Nokias as their work phones. They clearly have smartphones as they Hail0 us but then hand you a little old Nokia with the destination address displayed in a text message. I wonder why?
Most likely they have a smartphone fer personal and social media use and also an old 'Ready to Go' Nokia which is strictly fer business use only, the thinking being that de John or Ol Bill could never trace an old Nokia on a Pay as you go plan.
This is the way the person who took over my old business works.
-
I booked for an appointment on Monday,was given Thurs Feb 1st,i'll be checking the meter at midnight to make sure the new programne kicks in.
I was on the dog to Applus today and I pushed yerman fer what time the increase starts on Feb 1st,
he checked but found only Feb 1st on his system, to further discourage optimism he added;
"I guess it will be Midnight !"
-
Not sure why the NTA has the push on to get the meters done by Feb 1st. If you use the 'old' tariff, you're basically giving people a discount and losing money yourself?
-
Anyone know what the meters will start at with the new tariff...will there be 5c involved in either tariff?

Anyone know what the meters will start at with the new tariff...will there be 5c involved in either tariff?
3.60 will become 3.80 !

Would it be reasonable to say €4.00 will become €4.20....and will the fare still increase in increments of 20c?
Can't wait to find out what my €161.10 gets me and how long it'll take to recoup it....there's another test for ye Ken?

mytaxi paid for Ken's.

One would assume the meter will run in 20c increments.

Stuart never got back to me regarding programming in the beautiful seaside resort town of Balbriggan or, if he did, I missed his call. Anywaysanall, can't get through to the scrap yard or his mobile at the moment so I rang Mechanic 24 and they're doing them again this weekend so I'll drop in tonight or tomorrow.

Taxi Mechanical Services in swords doing them on a first come first served basis, be prepared to wait unless you get there at 7am. Only €50 for Digitax

I dropped in at about midnight last Fri,no one else there,was done in about 15-20 mins.

I queued up for 2 and a half fucking hours yesterday in portlaoise to get it done, it only took 15 minutes in total, but I felt better when the gobshite in front of me 17303 was told he couldn't be done as he hadn't got a Hale meter

do you not work dublin tone. you cudda got it done in 15 minutes up in civilisation.

Went into the garage at 23:37, done and dusted by 23:49... probably would have had to queue if I got it done in the beautiful seaside resort town of Balbriggan.

You need to be resealed or have an appointment booked for same by feb 1... there are currently no appointments available at any time. You couldn’t make it up.
I was on to Applus today and was offered 29th Jan which I refused because I'm not too sure the new increase will go through smoothly.
I'm not sealing my meter before the fare increase date.
After Feb 1st Applus could offer me nothing, only to take my name and number with a promise to ring me back.
To be fair Applus did ring me back the next day and gave me an offer fer the 16th Feb with an emailed booking number.
-
mytaxi paid for Ken's.
I reckon MyTaxi paid fer half the country's re-seal/verification !
-
As far as I recall they only gave us a ton. Total cost for me is about €165, €75 programming and €90 odd sealing.
-
My reprogramming was €50, add in reseal and it's €136.10.

The original Oct bank holiday MyTaxi Bobo offer was fer them to pay fer our taxi meter verification (re-seal) if we completed the 20 job Bobo offer on at least Two nights over that weekend. That offer did not include reprogramming (recalibrating).
But that was changed and instead they gave us 90Euro in cash on the next statement.
The cost of verification (re-seal) by Legal Meterology is 86.10.

It makes ye wonder why SDA/Mechanic 24 are charging €75 when they probably have the majority of taxi driver using them as their meter suppliers....simply gouging i suppose.
-
Couldn't agree more Hal. Rip Off Ireland still alive and well. ::fuck ::fuck
-
To be fair, it's hard to beat SDA for service... both of us lost 10/15 mins, Hal.
Conversely... I'm told Tetas mirror meters can be reprogrammed from Thurs at Scan ATM, open 7am - 7pm, first come first served, €75.
-
I think that the Tetas might be accessible without removing the seal.I'll go in March when the queue dies down.
-
The info on the seal changes, give it 10 or 12 years and the enforcement team will catch up with you. You won't be happy when you get a €40 fine!
-
Ah ok they probably have it flagged on the system too if it doesn't get resealed.
-
Logically they should know about every meter that's reprogrammed from installers submitting a copy of each green form. Hence they should be able to advise Revenue where drivers (appear to) have two meters in one car. However, we live in Ireland... as anyone that got Mortgage Interest Relief at source knows, the left hand and the right hand operate in autonomy.
-
Just to remind myself that we live in Ireland I rang the meter seal crowd for an appointment. Calling it a shambles is being generous. I'm told they have nothing available but I'm on a priority list (despite my advising them that all I need is a reference number, explaining that priority is neither here nor there as I'm in no panic) for Ballymount. Apparently they're not doing them in Ballymun at all. The operator did advise me to note her name and the date/time as all calls are logged so, presumably, transcripts will be available should it prove necessary to demonstrate their incompetence to a judge on foot of a summons...
-
Wheres Ballymount?
It must be out southside somewhere is it.

I think it's off the M50... the satnav should know the rest.

Scan's logic for not doing the Tetas earlier despite it being capable of containing a dual program:
The memory is only capable of holding so many years in it's calendar therefore in order to guarantee the 4 years required by the NTA the old program has to be deleted, if both programs are stored at once then the memory is insufficient to store the full calendar for the new program and a year would be lost, I guess that's why the LMS didn't approve it?

Anyone know whats the story regarding Halda meters and new fare increase.Was onto south dublin autos who supplied meter and they say they cant get chip with new programme.Dont fancy having to buy new meter.Is anyone else doing halda programme?

Programme not yet approved by LMS so no installer has yet submitted a sufficient programme.

SDA is still advertising the Halda M12 on it's website (https://www.psv.ie/taxi-shop/taxi-meters/m12-halda-taxi-meter/ (https://www.psv.ie/taxi-shop/taxi-meters/m12-halda-taxi-meter/)) - interestingly it's features state that "A pending tariff change can be pre-loaded into the M12 and a date set for the tariff to come into force automatically, saving you valuable time and money"
Maybe get on to Stuart and ask him to replace it free of charge as it's not fit for purpose if it can't be programmed to the correct fare?

My ATA meter is in the same boat as Halda - no official update approved yet. Supposed to happen this Fri/Sat for ATA.
I'm guessing/hoping that getting an appointment for re-sealing will cover us to work while we wait...

You're not supposed to book a sealing appointment until your meter is reprogrammed hence you shouldn't rely on that provision to operate with a meter that is not programmed to the applicable maximum fare.
-
Probably,
The Applus inspector doing my licence renewal told me it's done around the back of Northpoint 1,i know my car can't be put on the rolling road so it's a road trip.
Definitely. I'll express my dissatisfaction when they call me back.
The last couple of times they had a shed out the back at Ballymun for the manly cars with gearboxes. The more feminine automatics had to be road tested with apparatus fitted to the wheels. Before that it was done at the Boyne Valley hotel with the inspector sitting in for a short drive, no apparatus required. Before that it was done in Poppintree with some vehicles on a rolling road and others going for a short drive, again with no apparatus required. Before that it was done in the Phoenix Park with a short drive between the milestones, no apparatus. Bubba will have to tell us how it was done before that but I think the process involved measuring the length of the horse's legs and suchlike.
-

True enough. But if my meter gets done on Sat, I won't be able to book an appointment until Monday. That's too long to be off the road for something that's not my fault.
'They' say that the inspectors usually hang around Heuston and the airport. So if I avoid picking up people with suitcases, I should be alright O:-)
-
Aplus+ rang me back today, still no availability in Ballymun which they said is being "phased out" in favour of Ballymount. What a loada bullshit! Anywaysanall I got an appointment for Greenhills on 3rd March. As one is allowed to cancel without penalty up to 48 hours before the test I will call to cancel at the end of February and see if Ballymun has availability then. If not I'll change to a Tuesday or Wednesday.
-
heard an absolute beaut there earlier on.
Joe, a fella told me that everything is connected to the system now. If you don't get your meter changed and sealed by 01 February the Gardai know about it and they'll send you out an automatic fine. lol

That's the way it should be... almost. It's only an offence to operate a taxi without the meter being correctly programmed so there would have to be some input from dispatchers like mytaxi and Whistle to ascertain that the offending vehicle is actually working. Also, one doesn't have to get the meter sealed, making an appointment which one can cancel up to 48 hours before the same is scheduled suffices.
-
when I was in school you had to pay a few quid to use a locker.
At the beginning of the year I'd lash a couple of padlocks and claim a couple for myself without paying up.
A few of the other lads used to do the same.
Aware that this might happen the principal would make an announcement that they know who has and has'nt paid up to use a locker and they're gonna get in big trouble etc.
Feckin eejits used to swallow it hook and line and there'd be a queue of yunflas battling their way to hand their money up to the principal.
When I heard that today that's just what it reminded me of.

There won't be any Taxi inspectors checking any Taxi meters in the month of Feb 2018,
they know full well that it's a Hit or Miss situation with Applus and the NTA and there will
be a 'Grace' period allowed.
Nobody really wants to spend a full day in court trying to prosecute a Taxi driver who has
full documentation and phone records to prove that he did his best to get all the tests done
within the required timeframe. The judge will laugh and throw the case out.

I had a young lad in the cab last weekend (another beaut) that told me that his last Taxi driver told him that he had been fined 100Euro fer taking a fare from College road out to Carrigtwohill on a set fare of 30Euro, which to be fair was about close or maybe a slightly discounted price, but he didn't run the meter.
On arriving in Carrigtwohill and paying his fare the customer claimed he was an NTA inspector and fined him 100Euro fer not running the meter.
I was believing the young man as he seemed very sober and straight-laced but then I checked the NTA website and the fine fer not running the meter on a set fare is only 60Euro.
"Failure to operate the meter while the taxi is on hire without a waiver signed in advance by the customer (€60)"

Wake your ideas up, erm. There hasn't been a fare card for years. The passenger information cards/stickers don't show metered charges, just applicable extras none of which have changed apart from the abolition of the CC fee. I rang on Monday or Tuesday and was told the new cards are available from test centres or can be posted. I got mine in this morning's post. They're exactly the same as the old ones but were accompanied by a letter stating that the credit card fee no longer applies.

Has anyone had their Tetas mirror meter reprogrammed yet was in a queue of over a mile long over at skan atm and it was not moving decided to head hometo heard heof was having problems did anyone manage to get one of these meters reprogrammed yet regards john

When it comes to replacing meters we know what not to buy! A colleague/competitor I spoke with yesterday queued for 6.48 hours to have his Teta meter programmed. My Hale took 10.32 minutes at 23:36 of a Friday night.

2 minutes at 11.58 but this is not possible since the meter was reprogrammed last week. Would this be a fail anyone know? Thanks.

should be ok Ken in Skan told me there is 59 minutes +/_ allowed .My meter was 12 minutes out last time I did SGS .
-
Think we're allowed 5 mins.Bring it back to the installer just in case it keeps advancing by next week.Also ask them how to change it for future reference.Some lads used to change the time on any dash clock to match the meter.
Anyone know if there's still a queue at Skan?..
-
The allowance for the LRA is more than 5 mins, mine was 19 minutes fast last time. One would imagine it needs to be closer than that for meter sealing.
The 2 minute adjustment is generally only allowed once per week so, as your meter was programmed and adjusted last week, it may work again any day now?
-
Yeah that probably explains it, it’s a week tomorrow so I’ll
Try the 2 minute thing again. Thanks for the help.

It doesen't need to be 11.58, you can do it at any hour.

Depends on the meter, Digitax meters will only allow change at 11:57 to 12:03
So you can put it forward up to 3 minutes or back up to 3 minutes

There has been all kinds of figures fer meter incrementation bandied about fer many years,
from as little as 2 minutes to as much as 59 minutes.
If'n anyone is getting a re-seal this week, then please ask the person in charge what exactly
is allowed fer minutes out on a meter, and post it up here.

On my previous Prius i had to replace the 12v which i did with a battery i bought from McCabes Toyota at the time,€120,that gave me trouble about two years later,went to get another one but still had the receipt and they replaced it FOC,they have a 3 yr warranty....i used to leave the parking lights on when i'd stop so i reckon it was that,they're a small capacity battery,enough to energise for starting,
Get an original ye hungry fecker!!
-
I think they're about 240.I've been through two cheaper ones in 3 years but because I bought them online it's not worth chasing the warranties.Mickgarage don't honor the warranties on their Exide Batteries so be warned.The Bosch one has a warranty but I'd need to post it back to the UK.Loadabollix.
At the moment the original Yuasa is in it but it's not holding the optimum charge.Ive read the Prius computer uses a lot of juice on standby so you need to be driving them regularly.

With most of these tests, you can go in early and they will do you ASAP.
I had an NCT appointment the year before last fer 11am, but I had a fare
dropping very close to the NCT center at 9.40am so I called in at 9.45am
on the off-chance.
Sulky P.M.'ssy behind the counter sez "Das fer 11am" but still took my keys
and the car was passed out within 20 mins.

Called Applus+ to reschedule my appointment as I'll be out of the country on the scheduled date and, TBH, I never had any attention of travelling half way round the world to get a piece of plastic tape put on the meter. To expand a short story as much as is reasonable possible, I was on hold for 8 minutes before a telephonist became available. As usual the telephonist was as much use as a chocolate fireguard, informing me that they have nothing available in Fingal, Louth or within Dublin City Council's administrative area. The only available appointments were in a place called Tallaght over in South County Dublin so I conceded to scheduling there with a view to rescheduling at a later date. All seemed to be going well until she pressed a few keys and advised that if she rescheduled for what was available a penalty fee would apply as it was more than a month after the original appointment so suggested cancelling the appointment and advised me to book again when I get my €86.10 back (up to 5 working days) and I agreed so, in conclusion, I have a letter to show an enforcement inspector (should I meet one for the second time in 24 years) and I get my money back so it's a win-win scenario. With routine scheduling and cancelling I guess I might be able to drag it out until I have to change my perfectly serviceable motor car next year.
-
You're a cad O'Connell!!

Got mine sealed today. I'm legal again yay yay

Small victories, Hal... small victories!

Tut tut mr Rat would the taxi enforcement officer not have it on his hand gizmo when he puts your plate number in that you cancelled the appointment
-

Doubtful that an NTA inspector would have instant access to the Applus system.
-
I'll book another one when I get my €86.10 back so I should only be a few days without an appointment... but I doubt they'd bother investigating any further once you show them a letter. The rules, as communicated to me, merely state that I must have formal evidence of an appointment. There's nothing to suggest that I'm obliged to keep the appointment.

Would ya be bothered Rats ?
It's 86.10 whenever ya pay it !
Pay it now or keep putting it off until next Suitability test,
It's still going to be 86.10 whenever you pay it !
-
I'd have to pay it again when I'm forced to change my perfectly serviceable motor car next year so it would be €172.20 or thereabouts in total. However, if they were able to offer another appointment I would have took it. If I get one in Dublin or Louth I'll probably get it sealed but if they keep trying to send me to South County Dublin I'll probably keep cancelling/rescheduling.
-
It's tax deductible so it doesn't cost you anything ffs
-
If I have an income tax liability for 2018 it'll only be at the standard rate so an extra €86.10 expense would only reduce it by €17.22.
-
Do you need to break the seal when transferring a meter from car to car ?
After looking at the microtax manual seemingly you can change the car reg
number, but you are probably going to need to have the CEY key to hand.
-
Reg No is programmed directly to the printer. The licence/driver/car numbers that you can change through the meter only facilitates digits, you don't need a CEY for that, just the PIN.
Seal needs to be broken to reset the pulse rate and the clock (assuming it's more than two minutes out).

Rebooked for 20th April @ Northpoint, Dublin - I'll probably keep that appointment provided no diary conflicts arise in the meantime.

Reg No is programmed directly to the printer. The licence/driver/car numbers that you can change through the meter only facilitates digits, you don't need a CEY for that, just the PIN.

Got a appointment to have my Cygnus meter recalibrated just now. Turns out I will have to wait until the 22nd before I can have the pleasure of handing over 75 squid..I think it's a bad time of the year and sure what's the hurry?
