Can I get VRT exemption on two vehicles from the UK?
Hello,
I’m moving from the UK to Ireland, and I have a car and a van in my name. Can I bring both back and be exempt from any charges? I am finding it hard to find information on bringing back more than one vehicle. Will I only be exempt for one?

I got the wrong part for my Ford Focus...
I’m having difficulty obtaining a throttle body for a 2012 Ford Focus TDCi. I bought a Ford replacement but on closer inspection the existing one has the Peugeot emblem on it and the Ford one doesn't fit.

Should I buy a Mazda CX-80?
Thanks for your replies to my earlier questions. I have read your review of your experience of the Mazda CX-80. You reference the suspension and use the words “crash and bang” - this is probably the most damning description of a car’s suspension I have ever read. If I test drive this car it will be in a short distance of the garage on good roads, but your review is no doubt more comprehensive and professional. Overall, your review is very positive I feel! Thanks for your replies and if you feel that I have got the wrong end of the stick please correct me.
