United for hire for midweek friendlies. But it will cost you.

Why not as long as it isn't on the other side of the world. Any manger will tell you they'd rather be playing a game than a training session.

Well considering most big teams are in CL action it will have to be in Asia, the US or somewhere like that able to afford it.

There is a good chance Liverpool will be knocked out in the group stages of the CL. The GAA should invite them both to Croker for a midweek fixture. Would it sell out if both teams guaranteed close to best 11? Split the £££ 3 ways.

What manager is going to play their full team in a midweek friendly fixture??!!

I get your point but if it were to sell out people will want to see the big names if only for 45 mins. One night could generate a lot of ££££.

Great captaincy there by Rooney.  Idiot

Idiot indeed. Good to get the 3 points and move up the table a bit. Rooney won't be missed that much through suspension

of course rooney will be missed. he is quality.  moment of madness by him yesterday though.

Yes I suppose he will be missed but I mean there is great cover in that area of the pitch like Seanie says.

Sending off was a big turning point. Thought Carmen would have been cute enough to see the game out after Penrose put them one up in injury time. Fair play to Omagh they have won it by beating a few strong teams along the way.

Guys help needed again. Christ my heads about to go with that car of mine!! Anyway after getting all done last month thinking this is great it was driving like a new car suddenly this noise has appeared. Now it only appeared when the car was started and lasted for about half a minute. Was like a grinding rattling from drivers side of the engine. Then it stopped. There was no issue whatsoever with the driving of the car it was driving fine and no noise yet every time i started it the noise would be there. I have slightly noticed that the steering is more rigid but nothing major to be honest.

Anyway since yesterday the noise is coming when im driving, not a grinding but more like a whistling/whirring which comes intermittently when im driving and then stops. Very hard to explain but there then comes a noise as if something has clicked into place and it drives as normal. I did notice this morning that the noise came every time i put the heating on.

Sorry for the essay but im at end of my tether with it at the minute as spent so much last month getting sorted. Anyone have any ideas?

Something to do with the aux belt I suspect. It runs the alternator and power steering pump. You mentioned the steering feeling different and it changed also when you turned on  the heating (put and electrical load on the alternator). Possible belt or belt tensioner problem. Get it looked at before it breaks. Should not be an expensive issue.

Believe it or not - this can be a warning that your brake lights aren't working right!!  :o
Check your brake lights are working, for me it meant changing the switch down at the brake pedal - bought it off ebay for ~£20 and replaced it myself. ( this was on a VW golf but prob the same for skoda)

'How to' posted here;
http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?1158315-DIY-Installing-a-new-brake-light-switch-(without-breaking-it!)

Just checked the brake lights. only the light in the back window is work, other two are not! Genius man!
Is it worth changing the bulbs first before attempting the brake light switch?

Also is there a fine / points if caught ?

Update bulbs are fine, looks like it could be the switch or glow plugs! Grrrr >:(

Get it plugged in to see what trouble codes come up. I've seen this flash on similar year golfs which turned out to be EGR Valve faulty. If you are near Ballygawley I'll plug in in for free.

Not so nice but at least now they realise they won't walk over you. Hope it works out soon.

Did you mention trading standards to them yet? Or the 'fit for purpose' law. I am telling you now... They MUST fix your car. It is the law. Do not roll over on this.

A-lot of time spent on the phone Friday and this morning regarding this, Hurst are by no means playing ball. Even after the conversation of the sale of goods act 1979 and them having to prove the fault wasn't there 4 months they are refusing to look and have said it will be over £700 to fix after parts and labor, + first inspection.

I have now drafted a formal letter, stating my rights and included some materials stating my rights, and will be sent via recorded delivery today giving them 5 days to respond. I've a feeling they are going to take this the whole way to the small claims. I just want the car fixed.

Absolute shambles, I will never buy a car from Hurst again and i wouldn't encourage any one else to. I bought my own car from Shelbourne and I've nothing but good things to say about them. The attitude of Hurst stinks

If it goes to court you will win hands down. Don't back down.

Any progress on this?

There is no doubt that the defence is poor but how much protection are they getting from the rest of the team? Loads of players that want to bomb forward to score goals but not so keen to track back to help out at the dirty end. I would expect this can be helped a lot on the training field.

A lot of pressure on now in the derby game but fear not. Everton always seem to fill their togs in Anfield.
