Hi,
I have a new Mitsubishi L200 series 6 Barbarian. Done less than 500 miles, mixed driving. The auto stop-start is totally unreliable. Green light comes on first start, goes out, may occasionally flash whilst driving. Over a 40-mile trip the stop-start functioned only once. Worked less than half a dozen times since purchase. Dealer says no fault or error codes.
Any ideas?
Will my warranty on a used imported one-year-old Mercedes from England cover me in any Mercedes garage in Ireland?
Thank you

Hi there,
I have lost my NCT disc and cert; I know it passed but how can I prove this and get a new one?
I am looking at getting a new car, something easy to get into. I have aFord Fiesta automatic (disabled driver) so was looking at an Active model or saving up a bit and going for the Puma (which I like the look of). Both will have to be automatic. Am looking at Fords first before I look at options.
Changing my car at the end of the year. Going for an Audi. Petrol or diesel? Worried about diesel resale values in three years or so.
I had a crash with another two months ago, driving licence lost, DVLA find me £80 for driving without it. It was a plastic licence that was three years old. Can I apply for another? I think they know I had the crash. No-one hurt in the accident.
