Is my 2016 Tucson clutch covered by warranty?

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 be the current power rating of a car engine, 30 years old, originally 158hp?

Hi,

When should I change the timing belt on an my 2003 Opel Astra 1.4? I've been told figures ranging from 40,000- to 100,000 miles so really need to get a definitive answer.

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

Hi guys,

I own a property in the UK as well as buying a house here and now work here. I want to import my car from the UK. Am I right in thinking, that if I have owned the car for more than six months, have current UK insurance/tax/MOT certs and the log book in my name at my UK address, that if I were to register it in Ireland, it would be VRT exempt? Will they look for any other documentation?

It's an old 2001 SLK, which is only worth a couple of grand, but the VRT site says that the OMSP is €49,970, which is obviously a mistake and makes the VRT €14,950 plus €240 NOx.
