Car Servicing/Maintaince

[Tony Baloney]

I am looking for a Mercedes plug in sat nav module.
Any tips where I could get one at less than the £500 Isaac Agnew charge? Or advise whether, if I buy one on eBay, I could fit it myself (i.e just plug in) or would need to get a professional to do it.
I've tried googling for places in NI but no joy yet.
Thanks

Try Molloy's in Armagh as they deal primarily in Mercedes parts.

Lads what is the craic with a decent falla like myself from the 6 counties sellin my car to someone from the the free state. Do I need to supply any extra paper work with the car.

I don't think you, the seller, would have any additional paperwork to provide. There may be a separate section in your V5 to fill out as the car is being "exported" but it will be up to the Southern buyer to sort out VRT, NCT and all that jazz that is required of them.

EDIT; Found this which may be of help (not my words)

"If he is coming personally to pick up the car, then Cash in Pounds.



Have the V5 ready for him,



All he needs to do is sign the Green section 8 as the new keeper.



and Fill out and KEEP the green section 10 'New Keepers details'



All You fill out is green section 6 and the Blue section 11 Notification of permanent export



Note: All he takes with him is section 10 that is all he needs



You post off section 1-8 to the DVLA



Its all outlined in section 12 "

Young lad has just been charged €620 for a clutch job on a Mazda 6. Seems a lot to me. Clutch kit should be about €200 max. €400 seems like barrister rates for labour. Should he be looking for a different mechanic?

Depends on if he put a dual mass flywheel in as well as clutch
If he did it's pretty cheap

[Hardy]

No flywheel.

Where exactly is this Free State you speak of?
I know her Majesty's subjects get poor education (which doesn't help given their low I.Q. anyway) but even they should know that the free state has been abolished

You could be into 6 hours labour at least and maybe a fair bit more. Some of those jap cars take a fair bit of stripping to remove the gearbox. Probably not far away price wise.

[Hardy]

Thanks lads. He was told the price by text when the mechanic texted that the car was ready. When he collected it he was told some other work had been done - some part of the gear selection mechanism and a track rod end. So not as bad as he thought.

VW Passat, 2.0 TDi 2007, Fuel Pump leaking and sounds like Flywheel going
Does anybody have a ball park figure, can't be good.

[theskull1]

I'd say 900-1000 low ball park (flywheel + clutch kit + water pump + labour)
