Hi there Ian, welcome :cheesy:

Ni? Do you mean

:shock:

This site is full of useful information (and some not so useful :roll: ) so have a browse. The knowledge base is probably a good place to start.

It might help if you tell us what flavour 406 you have (year, engine, inconsequential details like that), then we can tell you exactly what bits fall off when :P

Why does no-one say "Ulster" any more? Is that because no-one outside Ireland knows where it is? :roll:

We say Northern Ireland cause thats were we are from!!! Also Ulster is made up of 9 counties were as Northern Ireland is made of 6 of them counties... so i would take a longshot an say this newbie is from one of these 6 counties.

SEARCH ULSTER in that wiki thingy tell you all about it :P :lol: :P

I just wondered why people said NI but nobody seems to refer to Ulster these days, I suppose it depends on your politics and other forms of religion (ah, sorry if I'm being inappropriate but I'm getting used to asking awkward questions where I live)
