As you may have guessed I'm not a happy camper today.
Went for me NCT and the cnut failed me on a "Frayed/Cut CV Boot".
My mechanic had checked this only last week and all looked Ok, bit a wear.
I'm convinced the NCT'r used his mickey to Fray and cut it

Your complaining about a bit of torn rubber ,look on the good side a ton will fix it .
-
Ton less taxi coin earnings :))

If your making that little that a days earnings impacts on you get a balaclava .

If I spend less than 300 at test time I just put it down to wear and tear remember the milage we do and I recogn suspension is the big issue we must goover a few million speed humps in a cars lifetime .
-
Agree JM but when your mechanic (for over 30 years) has done a once over and then the cnut in the NCT finds this .
Makes you wonder !

Mechanic did the once over?........ then if he's worth keeping..............he will do the repair for nowt and drive it down for you for retest.

I stopped going for pre tests let the NCT do the test then you know what THEY want fixed .Mechanics often give it the ok if they have other cars on the ramp worth more money to them to fix ..

Yeah JM think that's what I'll do in future especially as I'm on a "6 month date" with the NCT

Here anyone have any idea how much we are talking for timing chain replacement. Not belt, timing chain ?
-
I calculate that a car costs you about 3K a year to own over its lifetime ,on the 9 year plus if you can keep it on the road for under 1K a year including fees you are doing ok .
-
Probably about right, erm... but, of course, it will fluctuate with mileage. Some of the boys on here do billions of kilos every year. My MKII Octy, which is still in near perfect condition, cost me €2,629.80/year including purchase and maintenance, averaging 30,000 kilos/year.
-

I didn't think chains ever needed replacement. Is it specified in the service schedule?
-
Nearly 300,000 k on it Stephen .I was like you ,I didnt think sohe neither, but there seens to be a skight nouse whwn starting from cold
-
I always make sure to do headlight alignment and that all other lights are working,if there's anything underneath that needs doin i'll let them inform me,
When i was getting my 33 yr old Citroen tested yer man (black lad) was on his back in both footwells shining his torch up the back of the dash,he spent over half an hour on the car and eventually failed it on a small bit of welding on the sill at the front and put a sticker on it to say it was too dangerous to drive.....chap that did all the welding on it shrugged his shoulders and just said he was intent on failing it.

Indeed....apparantly has a rep in Drogheda NCT....i was unlucky!!

I guess a few things could cause that, DM. Might be worth ringing (or dropping into) Howard Engineering. Owen is the boss, I doubt there's anything he doesn't know about the workings of internal combustion engines. https://www.howardengineering.ie/ (https://www.howardengineering.ie/)
-
I do nothing to mine for the NCT. I don't even wash it. To be honest I think it's a fantastic service and great value at €55 and €28 for a non-visual retest.... although I wish I had more confidence in their ability to find potentially dangerous faults. Many years ago my then Astra passed with a leaking rear brake cylinder and Mrs Catcher's old Fabia once passed with two broken front suspension springs.
-
Rat did you pay off the tester not to find the wife's problems rofl
-
Never bribed and inspector in my life... I treat the NCT as my cars annual inspection, if there's something that needs attention I want to know what it is so it can be rectified. I'm sure you coulda put €50 in the ashtray and got your shitebox through but in a few months you'd be replacing the CV joint as well as the boot.
-

Paid 1300 last year.
-
Oh, I did offer a LRA inspector a drink very discreetly on one occasion... after he overlooked the fact that I was missing a decal from the rear window... but he refused it point blank.
-
What type of car needs a timing chain Daly?I'd be inclined to run it into the ground if it's high mileage.But what do I know.
-
Mercedes always had a chain but it never broke or went. Last car I heard of that had a chain was a Jap import.
-
I always thought incorrect oil or improper maintenance was to blame.Maybe it just needs oil..
-
Mercedes recommend changing it every 100,000 it seems.........no point having a chain then really.
-
Skoda Fabia had a chain, never changed... presumably the same across VAG 3 cylinder 1.2cc petrol engines.
-
There you go......Fucking VAG...........money-pits.
-
Mine is a toyota avensis
-
What yr, Dalyer............last Avensis I had had a belt
-
There you go......Fucking VAG...........money-pits.
Not as bad as you might think. My MKII Octy cost €2,899 to maintain for the 5 years I used it as a taxi. They're certainly not as well built as Toyotas but then they're a lot cheaper to buy.
-
Its 13 lippy
-
Diesel? The Merc brand always promised no change for the chain but that was 20 yrs or so ago I think.
-
Yeah its deisel.um just trying to get some idea what kind of money we are talkiing about,or even if it can be repaired,rather then replaced
-
Audi's have timing chains afaik.
-
Nearly 300,000 k on it Stephen .I was like you ,I didnt think sohe neither, but there seens to be a skight nouse whwn starting from cold
And what about the car?

Change both.
Should take less than an hour.
-

Could just be the fan belt or the tensioner! Check the simple things first apbefore thinking of big expenses.
Unless of course your mechanic said that it’s the timing chain.
I use the NCT to tell me what’s wrong with my car
And a cv boot can look ok to your mechanic one day but the next it can be torn, also the boot might have been dirty when your mechanic looked at it and you then washed the underneath for the NCT
-
Wash the underneath... fuck off!
-
Wash the underneath... fuck off!
Some fancy car washes do that

A good wash.. will sort yaa

Went for NCT again yesterday, failed on Imbalance on Front Suspension, 2 new shocks for me 07 Avensis, should see me through until It has to retire in 2022, or I die before then
-
If your running anything over 5 years put aside 500 for running repairs .We abuse cars probably go over a million or more speed bumps a few hundred thousand pot holes clatter foot paths a five year old taxi is equivlent to a ten year old civilian motor .its just another cost of trying toearn a living .
-
I haven't spent any money on me taxi in ages.I'm expecting to fail on suspension on the next NCT in two weeks.I was gonna fix it but I think I'll let them find the fault this time.If I fix beforehand they'll make a problem somewhere else.
-
With Brexit and the £ nearing all time lows if I had coin available and was driving a ten year old motor I would consider going to the Uk and buying .Once cars go over a certain age as a taxi they can become deep holes for eating up your coin .The SGs has now become a pain if you have a roen cover or shabby paintwork they are gunning for you .You could spend a grand a year to keep an older car on the road .Better to put that twords a newer motor than keeping an older youke on the road .
-
Sound advice JM, unfortunately the purse is a little dry at the moment will just have to nurse my auld one along for the moment
-
Erm we drive fukkin Toyotas how many times do ya have to be told.Them less reliable motors you buy are the money pits.There's a reason the Taliban drive Toyotas and not Skodas or Renaults or whatever shite Tony buys..
My baby is 13.5 years old.Costs fuk all to maintain(maybe 200 a year) compared to the 2500 per year I'd be spending to replace it .I'm determined to make it last another 18 months.That's another 4k I'll save just by doing nothing.I'm good at that.
And I have access to the cash to buy but it seems wasteful when it doesn't let me down.

+1 , no point in ordering our last supper until we are called for the execution
-
I got rid of Satans Scoda 08 became a money pit .With the £ solow and before Stuttery Paggo decides to up the Duty on Imports it might be the right time to change if you have the coin .Sometimes it just costs to much and reliability makes it false eonomy to try to hang on .Its horses for courses if your happy with your wheels then why change .
-
The currency savings wouldn't be enough to warrant dumping a decent motor IMO.If things go down the toilet as expected car prices won't be increasing as there will be lots of unemployed folks giving them back to the finance companies.Too many variables for me.

Recession = No Money for luxuries = Cheap Cars ?

Just wait till after they decide what to do with brexit, they will be failing all cars that have the speedos in miles. All cars must be in kilometres, clocks and digital readings

Interesting insight , all the more reason to keep me 2007 Irish Avensis on the go.

You should ask your bookie fer odds on wheter you will make it to 2022 or not ?
If'n your over 60 then probably he will offer you 5/6 your choice.
Have 6K to win 5K on 'Live' and if'n ya make it then your 'Quids In' !
And if'n ya don't make it, Fook 'em, Who cares !!
-
Depreciation cost on my 08 Avensis this year is Zero, it is worth only Scrap, when I trade up in 2022/3 my 08 Avensis will still be worth only Scrap.
Why would I bother trading up early and taking on a car loan and depreciation costs when what I have does the job adequately ?
My repair/NCT/Suitability/Valet bill so far this year is at 1939Euro, almost 8 months in to the year.
A Renter paying on average 250Euro per week would have that much paid within the First 2 months of the year !
-
Strangely enough Belker that sounds kinda high to me.If your spending that much consistently I'd consider upgrading sooner.A hybrid should save you at least another 50 a week combined with lower repair bills.
-
My Bills include NCT/Suitability and everything else that a renter would possibly not pay fer.
-
The repair part of your expenses must be high because test fees only account for a couple of hundred a year.Anyway when you change you'll see the bills come down.
I do a lot less miles but in 8 months this year I've spent about 150 on test fees and another 50 on service parts because I do me own.Maybe the next NCT will cost much more.
-
New Shocks fitted to the Avensis €280 , Re-test 2moro nite 9.20pm in Deansgrange, no gargle tomorrow nite for me
-
Bakers...say no more...nudge, nudge...wink, wink........good luck.

Does the car feel noticeably better STC?
-

Yes MFH feels like a new 07 Avensis now, must remember to try and avoid the Potholes and go easy over the ramps now.
You wont believe this but when my mechanic took the old shocks off the were an 1.5inches longer than the new ones, he checked with Toyota and was told that some of the Avensis were fitted with longer ones for rougher terrain countries like Turkey etc. Anyway he was able to compress the spring and fit the smaller ones or something like that. New Toyota shock would have been about €130 each so was glad he performed minor surgery to fit them.
-
Ok that's good to know.As soon as I change the shocks me headlight bulbs will probably go too..
-
Bakers...say no more...nudge, nudge...wink, wink........good luck.
Bad taste but a joke, nonetheless.....the good olde days...........

294,885 Miles on my London imported 08 Avensis, which would be 474,571 KM.
There was only 42,000 Miles on the clock when I bought it in October 2010.
Hopefully I will get another 3 years Depreciation Free and Car loan Free outta her,
before my 7 year plan to go New Corolla 1.8 petrol hybrid kicks in, in 2022.2.
-
Don't know how I managed to accumulate so much millage. 318 k and it's a 131 D reg only 42 k when I bought it. I only do 20 hours a week

c. 550 miles per week Ken, how do you support yourself?
-
By working Smart and working the very Lucrative Shitty Drunk customer hours.
It is Shite work but I enjoy it and the Dosh is very good by night.

I just got rid of me 10 year old laguna with 398.456k on her, and still running as sweet as a nut.

I've 169622 miles on me Prius.Have it nearly 6 years and I bought it with 58 or 68k miles on it.Can't remember it's been so long.

Nice one STC's, I'm hearing all over that suitability are gone very strict so if'n your cleaning the car yourself be sure and do a very good job of it.
-
I don't know what they expect from a working PSV....I'm sure most of us on here keep our heaps in reasonable condition anyway.
-
There is a sign on the door in the Cork suitability office that reads something like; "Cars must be presented for inspection in a Valeted condition".
I can't remember the exact wording but ya get the idea, I'll take a photo and post it next month.
-
That's been in the regulations for years. Testers probably getting fed up with lads taking the piss by presenting a dirty car.My car isn't clean on the outside most of the time but I know how to present it for suitability.
Back when things were shit my car was immaculate all the time because I was waiting over an hour for jobs.Plenty of window cleaning back then.
-
If'n ya use the Circle K/FN 'Park or Play' tag ya get your car wash fer half price, fer the sake of 4 Euro I use it pretty reguarly.
-
I've never gotten it clean enough from the machines.I use a fiber mitt and some turtle wax shampoo I got years ago.Comes up real shiny.Cant be arsed these days.

Me too, hence the 4 Euro car wash !
It's not brilliant but it does the job, the more expensive washes would deteriorate your stickers over time.
-
I passed me NCT this morning.I was convinced it would fail.Doing very little mileage helps I suppose.It's mad how we convince ourselves that our cars are bolloxed but they're grand after all.
Now to get ready for suitability and it's six-monthly wash.
-
Bloke in SGS this morning told me to wash my hi vis vest.
FFS it only comes out once a year.

I've got to do the suitability soon. How are people finding it? Have they got stricter or was it all just a rumour?

Bloke before me failed on his county sticker.
It was torn a bit.

Money well spent.
Have a load of the things at home.
Like the first aid kit

I don't use the Premium car wash because I'm afraid it will damage the stickers/decals/county roofie stickers.
I tend to go with the budget option with 50% off fer FN Ambassadors (4 Euro).

Don't like too many stickers on me car and certainly not going on unless they cross my palm with silver, in any case I don't speak posh enuf to be an ambassador

No, it's not a rumour Watty, they have got a lot stricter.
Did my suitability and passed! Kinda surpised because my seat covers aren't great and the taxi has a few more bumps than last time. Washing it for the test really revealed all the scratches from pax getting in and out over the years.
The procedure has changed up here in Dublin (Northpoint). In the past, you'd walk out to the car with the guy and talk to him while he did his thing. He'd see you were a nice guy and pass your taxi lol Now they make you wait in the office while they do the test.
And they stapled a 'next of kin' form to my insurance cert. Not sure if the NTA is promoting it or if the tester saw something about me and decided I needed to fill it out O:-)

Same with me watty in Greenhills a few weeks ago, as far as I remember they always left us upstairs while they did their check.

I've always been asked to return to my car and have the safety equipment laid out in the boot and to operate all the windows and to read out the mileage for the inspector.

Never asked to have me equipment laid out for them nor do anything really, they just do it all while i sit there.. A bit like me sex life really

They cannot detain you against your will Watty, (that is a strong point of mine), you are Free to leave the waiting room and stand outside in a public area if'n you wish, which is what I always do, to have a smoke and a chat with the inspector.

If nobody's watching him, there's a 50/50 chance he won't do his job and just pass the taxi while having a smoke in peace.
If somebody (i.e. me or you) is watching him, he might be extra careful and do his job too well and fail ya oops

I got similar yesterday morning, I requested my usual €8 Budget wash handing up my Circle K fob and €4, the Asian attendant said to me; "Today this is Free Sir".
I did eventually Play all my 7000 Circle K points accumulated since May 2018 on this months Free Fuel draw, with 35 Plays I have to be the Fav to win !
