Hi,

Hi,

I recently bought a car from the UK, through an auction and obviously the car reg isn't Irish, it's British; where do I start in changing the whole process of the reg?

How much to tax a 2017 diesel 2.2 Mitsubishi Outlander?

I have a 2016 Ford Kuga 2.0-litre diesel; does the timing belt need changing?

Hiya,

I own a Mark 7 Fiesta that comes with the stop-start button. As I was driving, the light came up saying that the stop-start has been turned off, and I am unable to put it back on again. The light is on and will not turn off. I have read up on possible fixes and attempted most but nothing has helped. I did not have heating or AC running, or lights on. Neither was I doing anything out of the normal. Do you know anything else that may cause this?

Hi.

I drive a six-year-old Tiguan. Recently I noticed the clutch failing to return to normal position when I change gear. Doesn't happen all the time. I pull the clutch up with my toe.

Have you any information on the recall of the Ford Kuga PHEV?

Hi,

I am thinking of importing a 1993 Mercedes 250D diesel into Ireland and am trying to find the NOx charge as there is no figure on the log book. How do I work out this charge please before I import to see if it's worth my while?

Can you help please?

Hi,

I have to get a new car/van to use and transport my wheelchair . I have read your article on tax and I am wondering if I can buy a small van, i.e. Berlingo or such like, and what tax and charges would I be liable for please?

Hi there,

I have another question on VRT. Well actually a few questions! If you import a car from the UK in the last week of December 2020 and you have a VRT appointment in January 2021, will you be paying VRT (and possibly customs, VAT etc.) at the 2021 rate or will you still be calculated on the 2020 VRT rate?

If they change the VRT bands in the October budget will they be implemented straight away or do they wait until Jan 2021, usually?

I have looked at the Glasss guide in the UK for the vehicle that I am importing but there are no equivalents in the Irish market. Is there a way to get valuations for Irish equivalents or get my hands on the Car Sales Guide (ROI) as per the VRT request form?

Thank you in advance for any help on this matter.
