How much to privately tax an electric van?
I have read the posts about buying a van for private use and being subject to higher tax. How does the old legislation deal with electric vans in that situation?

Does my Toyota RAV4 have four-wheel drive?
I have a 2011 RAV4 D4D and I'm not sure now whether it's 2wd or 4wd. It has a fuse in the 4wd option but no propshaft only wires to the rear wheels. I find I am only getting front-wheel drive when I get stuck on a slippery surface.

How much to tax my VW Transporter as a camper or privately?
Hello.
My 152 VW Transporter van is a 4Motion 2.0-litre. It's commercial at the moment and annual tax is 333 euro. I'm thinking of converting it into a camper.
Can you tell me how much the tax would be on this van when converted into a camper? And how much the tax would be for private use?
Thank you for any help. It's much appreciated.

Three-cylinder turbo or four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine?
Hi.
As a long-term keeper would you recommend a turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine or would a four-cylinder non-turbo be a safer bet?
We'll be buying a new car next year. There are so many variants out there it's doing my head in.
We're not quite ready for all electric yet.

What size is the MG HS PHEV's fuel tank?
I have the new MG HS PHEV and have noted that you say that the fuel tank is of 55-litre capacity. I live in England and all the literature over here states 37 litres. But today I drove into a petrol station with 50 miles of petrol range on the clock and without filling up I put 44 litres in.
Is the 55-litre tank an EU market thing? If it is I would seem to have an Irish model as it's right-hand drive. Can you share any insights you might have on the tank size?

Skoda Elroq or BYD Atto 3?
First time going electric; do I go for the Skoda Elroq 50 or BYD Atto 3? Don't do whole lot of driving and work is 5km away from me hence killing the GTD!

Audi or Ford for my daughter's first car?
My daughter is getting her first car; she is 18. She wants an Audi, but I think they might be expensive and dearer parts etc. So, we are now thinking of a 2014 Ford Focus diesel for reliability and safety etc.
