car got nicked!

Postby saoirse32 » Sat Oct 29, 2005 12:05 pm

heya doin, just to let ya know me car got broken into last nite, they got it started and when they took off the steering locked and it they couldnt unlock it, so they jumped out and legged it, didnt even take stereo or netin in the car. was supposed to be getting alarm fitted durin d week!! guards cought 3 fellas from darndale walkin around d corner, but didnt arrest them cause they couldnt prove it was them which is bullshit, so let them go. the guards got it towed down to d station and checkin for fingerprints so am pickin it up in a hour or so.

ignition is bunched, so ne1 know where i can get it sorted for a decent price?
cheers.

Sorry to hear that... hopefully the fingerprints will help nail the scum!

With regards to parts, Camskill have a complete set of locks + keys or if you just want to get an ignition barrel they're here

car in gannons

Postby saoirse32 » Sat Oct 29, 2005 1:06 pm

rang up gannons the car was brought there. rang garda station as usual they didnt know what was going on.
gannons said the steering shaft needs to be replaced and prob need new ignition lock, u know where i can get the parts cheapest and a fair priced mechanic?, if i get my car towed home could it be fixed here or will it need to be done in a garage?
i need to get moved by tuesday or they start charging.
cheers.

Argh..that's not nice at all!

Try this breaker in the UK for the parts: 0044 121 556 5488

HMSBikes

Shipping rates are reasonable - they're friendly and professional people - however I'm not too sure if they're open during weekends.

If you call let them know that you found the number on the forum.

Sorry to hear about that saoirse32, at least you got things sorted at the right price. Out of interest, what part of Dublin are you in?
