Run down to Dublin over the weekend for 2 Johnnies concert and decided to take the 6R purely for port tunnel 
. But with a full load (4 adults + bags) did leave her a tad low but rubbing was few and far between (parked on uneven ground so maybe a couple of mil lower on this corner but gives a good indication)

What was pints in a field like, I’d say it was great craic
Big loss for 2fm
About as funny as a boot in the balls I imagine... glad they're away off 2fm.

I love their podcast, but their humour is definitely not radio friendly lol. Did they leave 2FM?
Yeah there last show was a week ago, few big DJ’s have left 2fm lately
The new time slots and DJ is on X or formally twitter

Yeah it was good, especially since I don't actually listen to their podcasts (bar the GAA catfish one) but just went for the craic. We were late in getting there though so only got Mark McCabe doing Maniac 2000 and 2 Johnnies but given the other support acts were the likes of FIVE, Craig David and Tinchy Stryder, I didn't really miss much there

That don't look too bad at all ...
I would be suspecting the bottom end tbh
I can’t see anything wrong in the bottom end either but I don’t really want to start pulling bearing caps off the conrods to check the bearings. I can’t see any scoring on the bores but it’s hard to see into them from below.

Mine needs doing. Been getting varying advice about the type of gas which is dependent on the year of the car which means costs are all over the place.

Yea, I used AutoRadz in Lisburn,
They mentioned that after 2015 it’s a different type of gas? And it’s more expensive

It’ll be on a sticker under the bonnet the gas you need.

Tried to get mine done but wasn't getting any pressure in the system, so need to get that looked at soon. Hopefully it's just a loose pipe or a hole somewhere

Most likely a whole in the condenser, you can get dye added to expose where it is.

Yeah that's the plan, just need to get it done but with our weather, I know there's no big rush
I had a guy out last week to check my aircon for a leak. Told me I needed a compressor and sent me an invoice for almost £600, this included £80 install and £60 gas.
Priced a new compressor on ebay for £130 and a guy down the road gasses them for £40.

Where do you get the gas done? I think mine needs it and her car definitely needs gas and possibly checked for leaks

Saw Craig Davids DJ set, it was pretty good. Having Heineken in the beer tents was an extra bonus.
