Is the wet belt in a 2022 Ford Focus a problem?
I bought a 2022 Ford Focus petrol ST line MHEV early this year and since have seen reports etc that the wet oil pump belt being rubber is causing problems. However I saw that the mild-hybrid model has a chain and not a rubber belt. Have you any information on this problem?
Many thanks

Skoda Kodiaq or Toyota RAV4 for reliability?
Hi,
Currently driving a 212 Citroen C5 Aircross and looking to change to a 2023 or 2024 car. Have narrowed the search to the Toyota RAV4 or Skoda Kodiaq. Long term reliability over the next five years is important.
Which would you recommend please?

Has the Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV a rear-axle issue?
Hi,
I'm looking at Volvo XC90s. In the 2019/2020 T8 hybrid, should the known ERAD problem be a concern? Is there anything to mitigate the risk? Does Volvo cover replacement if the vehicle has a full Volvo service history? Or is it safer to stick with the D5/B5 variant?
Thanks

Reliability of the 2018 Audi Q7 e-tron?
Hi,
Just wondering if you have any advice on what to watch out for when buying a 2018-regstered Audi Q7 e-tron (diesel plug in-hybrid)? The motivation for buying it was an SUV with three ISOFIX points on the back seat while leaving a decent boot for buggies and scooters. Other seven seaters left too small a boot.
