Would I be looking at getting done again around the 160k mark? I'm always a bit cautious now as I had one go in a car before and it's not ideal LOL
Official belt interval is 160k kms /10years. I’d recommend every 100k kms/8 years

Car is mis-firing, spluttering/chugging just a small bit.
Comes and goes.
The fuel emissions warning light flashed for a minute and then disappeared.

Is it the cathalytic converter?
Is that how you spell cathalytic?

Could the issue just go away?
Or am I fooked for a new cathalytic converter?

Hammer & chisel or hammer on a larger socket and use a power bar to remove like normal

Some students pricks pulled the mirror off my wing mirror and broke my car aerial last night around 3am.  Luckily the mirror or wing mirror wasn't broken but the mirror itself was left on the ground.  It looks like it can be stuck back on somehow.  Does it need some sort of epoxy or where can I get the stuff to stick it back on myself?

Any motor factors or the likes of Halfords should have something that will do the job TJ.

Fob on my key has stopped working, i've replaced the battery on it but still no luck. I've never used the key to open the car before manually but it's just my luck that it won't work because it looks like someone damaged the f**king lock. The car has no other locks for a key to open it bar the drivers door. Any idea's?

Driving short distances, burning rubber smell from front wheel, passenger side. I need to drive Dublin - Cork on Sunday and unlikely to find an open garage before that.

Any idea what it is and is a 600k round trip likely to do much more damage? 

2 year old car, only bout 15k on it

Any get their car on PCP? Usually lease a car through the company I worked for but now working on my todd. Leasing companies will only deal with you if you are self employed for over a year. Wondering if PCP is the way to go.

PCP basically means a financing rate of 7-11% and has restrictions on annual mileage. 

Does your company have enough cash to buy a car? Can you get a company loan for a cheaper rate? 
I know it’s tax deductible but the more your company saves the more income for you.
