How much to bring in a crew-cab van from the UK
Hi,
I am just wondering if you could advise me on the cost of importing a crew cab van from the UK to Ireland. Ideally a 1.6 diesel Renault Trafic LWB with six seats, 2019ish with approx. 80,000km on the clock (priced at £13,000).
The Revenue website does not seem to have a drop down menu for this exact type of van and I'd like to somehow get a close cost of what this van would cost me in total to bring it into Ireland before I begin the process of purchasing one.

Citroen e-C5 Aircross or Tesla Model Y?
Will be replacing my 2023 MGZS EV shortly. I have over 110,000km on it, so a lot of yearly travel. I am considering a Citroen e-C5 Aircross or Tesla Model Y Long Range. What are your thoughts?

What to replace my Mondeo with - for up to €40,000?
Looking to replace my 2020 Ford Mondeo Vignale with a budget total of €40k including trade in. I like the size, heated seats, fast window demister and auto lights. I also like the look of the Audi Q3, Mazda CX-5 (I had two Mazda6s in the past).
Any suggestions? Needs to be manual as my kids are starting to drive soon...

Which cars have seats approved by AGR - I have a bad back.
Is it possible to find a list of cars that have driving seats with tilt adjustment, or that are approved by the German association for bad backs, Aktion Gesunder Rucken (AGR)? I have back issues and this information would be very helpful.
Thank you

Why is the VW T-Cross's engine noisy when cold?
I want to know if the timing belt on the 1.0 engine of the new Volkswagen T-Cross is dry or oil-lubricated... and why it makes so much noise when starting from cold.

Which PHEV to replace my BMW 330e?
Hi,
We have a 2020 BMW 330e for past 2.5 years and have had issues such as: 12-volt battery had to be replaced, shudder in front brakes, both wing mirror electrics failed... Looking at replacing now for around €40k mark. Not mad on SUVs but if needs must and not committed to full electric yet.
