Far from perfect but far better than the last profile. In fairness to Kenny, he allowed the president to take centre stage during the recent VIP visits and getting on with the work in hand. This is a far cry from Biffo going on a 2 week bender whilst Lisbon 1 crashed!
Japanese cars tend to be pretty reliable. Their only downfall is when they overheat, the cylinder heads tend to warp.
So there's a couple of things to look out for.
1. White smoke (steam) from the exhaust. Make sure the engine temperature gets up to normal and stays there when you test drive it.
2. Oil in the cooling system. Just make sure the water in the overflow bottle is not black, brown or dirty and that it's not low. Ideally, just the colour of the antifreeze. Look for signs of recent work under the bonnet.
3. Check the oil level on the dipstick. (Water can get into the oil too, the opposite from 2!) If it looks far too high then there could be a problem.....and I mean far too high.
But my guess is that if it was only put through an NCT 6 months ago, then the emissions are fine and the car is tickity boo.
Like I said, the Japanese cars are pretty bullet proof! Now I have to go and get a new back box for the exhaust of my Ford Mondeo. It fell off yesterday.
From the UK there are 2 systems. Freesat and Freeview and neither require a new box. They are in themselves digital decoders though they don't carry free access to Irish channels. RTE saw to that one.
Freeview is carried on the UK terrestrial system and other than border areas, would be inaccessable here unless like the old days in Dublin, you had a huge high arial pointed at either Wales or Newry.The decoder box can be bought in ASDA and Tesco in the north for around £20.
Freesat comes from the ASTRA satellite and can be accessed free of charge with either a freeview or a sky box using the other channels setting. There are quite a few channels on freeview which are not free to air on freesat.
Neither system requires an additional set top box.
