Anybody know anything about cars?????!!

Yeah they only seem to be after decent 151 and above. 

Does your insurance cover that sort of thing,how will that work?

I know someone who had a brand new car lifted and actually found out who took it and traced it to who they sold it to.

Eastern European gangs are mad ****s Don't get the first part. The person that stole was the same person that sold them the car or was the person they sold it to?

The young lad who stole it was actually back in prison by the time they'd tracked him down, it's all a bit mad really. His mam had to find out from him in prison what he did with the car because the owner wanted it back. This was over the course of about 3 weeks.

2015 Opel Corsa

Tyre pressure warning light has come on, telling me left rear is low, put correct air into it, light (yellow warning light) is still staying on.
I tried to reset it but it won’t go.

Neighbour told me it could be €250 for a new sensor.
Could I just get it disconnected, take a fuse out???

That price sounds like it is for a wheel speed sensor, not a tyre pressure monitoring sensor, which would be a lot cheaper. Either of them could be causing that light to come on, but I wouldn't be heading off replacing the expensive one on someone's say so. Know fcuk all about Opels other than to avoid them, so probably worth phoning a dealer to get an opinion and price before making a decision. On some makes & models, it is possible to deactivate the TPM system by programming, but that could cost as much as a tyre sensor.  If you bought it in an Opel dealer, pop in to them and play dumb, tell them the light is on and ask them to reset it for you (this would normally be a 2 minute FOC effort), you might end up getting a free diagnosis that way if it won't reset for them.

Just brought it up to Atlas, the guy came out, checked the air pressure in all the tyres, then cleared and reset the settings.
Warning lights now gone, happy days.

Fair play to Atlas, that’s the 2nd time they’ve done something like that.
Years ago I had a Passat, fuel emissions light came on, I went down to a well known VW service centre in SoCoDu, charged me €190 for a 2 hr diagnostic.
They couldn’t find anything wrong and couldn’t turn off the warning light permanently.
I went up to Atlas, a guy plugged in a iPad size computer, pressed clear, the light never came on again. Atlas wouldn’t take a cent off me either time.

Lads what would be a rough price to get a weld done on the exhaust ?

With diesel’s getting a bad press and resale value dropping, I presume it’s way better to go for a petrol, and stay clear of a diesel?
