Yes, your insurance will cover the market cost of the car, this can be negotiable.

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.
They were told if they wanted the car back it would cost them 2k but if they got the gardai involved they'd never get the car back and they'd also burn down their house. 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?

Some young lad gangster wanabe robbed it, they tracked him down but he'd sold it on to some European based gangsters. 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.

Replacing the discs and pads on the front end of an 05 focus, what would you expect to pay?

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. |

Good news ya didn't need any parts anyway . To be fair, it would be a complete robbing bollix that would charge anyone to reset a TPM light.

Missus wants to change her car.
Looking at another VW Golf, but now likes Hyundai i30. Are i30’s any good?? Probably going to go for a 2014 reg plate. 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? |

The brother has one, around that age as well. Loves it. Reliability seems excellent - he's had no bother in 3.5 years
