Hi,

I've just bought a Ford Kuga 2.0-litre TDCi AWD and it's done 67,000 miles and it's a 2010; do I need to change the cambelt and if so any idea of price please?

Hi,

I changed all the belts of my Ford Kuga 2.5 at 200,000km; I'd just like to know if they must be changed at 400,000km? I only do 20,000km a year.

Thanks

What would the motor tax be for a 2015 Ford Ranger Double Cab 2.2-litre 4x4 truck used for personal use?

Hi there.

I have a 162 Ford Kuga and my tax per year is €710. This seems very high for a 2016 car. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi there.

I set up as a sole trader last year (Oct '19). I'd like to swap my Ford Focus for a VW Transporter. A Kombi version most likely. I'm a photographer, but it would be for personal use and to transport my dogs with me. I don't deal with people directly in my business. I operate online. I really need some advice, as I want to move on with new projects. How can I tax and insure it to allow me to enjoy the next chapter?

Thanks a mil

James
