I think I paid 70 for the two backseat windows, was quoted 130 for back window too, but there was a tint already on it

Got mine done in Coolmine Ind Estate last summer. Was €140. Another place up in Ballycoolin, Shades,  would be handy for you.

Did you ever get your AC fixed?
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

The place is awash with money (for some people).

Not sure if they are Tycan's or Panamera's but the 4 door Porsches are a very common sight for me on the way to work. Now I do work in Cabinteely but still see them all over Dublin.

Up nice and early to go gym, feeling refreshed after taking it easy the weekend.
Jump in the car to head off, f**king thing won't start.

Radio working, lights working. Fuel in car. But engine wont kick in.
Rang up Nissan breakdown assistance, my warranty must have ran out since its 4 years old now and only lasts 3 years.

I'll try the Windsor garage at 9 but f**king annoying Angry.

This nissan giving me bother now as much as any car I've ever had and I bought it brand new. Time to get rid I think

Would you recommend jump starting it rather than getting the garage involved?

Edit: have breakdown assistance with insurance

Yeah jump start it. How old is the battery?

My wifes peugeot - had a similar issue, waited 4 weeks to get a slot by the main dealer to run the diagnostics, got a new alternator and battery, worked for about 2 weeks and the same issue again.

My parents bought a new Qushquai in 18 or 19 and had to replace the battery after a few years too. Seemed to be a common issue.

And with stop/start the new battery is probably €130 or so

Started with a jump anyway. Weird because the car locked ok for me last night which it normally wouldnt if someone left a door open or light on so don't think anything was left on.
The guy said there was no need to do anything else other than get the charge back into it by going for a spin.

Had to get a new battery. It died again when trying to use it after lunch. Brought it on a big drive down to bray and back. Parked up, 20 minutes later tried again and it was gone again.
