Should I upgrade my 2021 Tiguan?
Hi,
I am planning on buying a Volkswagen Tiguan Elegance 1.5 petrol in the New Year; as it comes with 19-inch wheels and I like my comfort should I get Adaptive Chassis Control as an extra?
Thanks

Where to get Mercedes Vito CoC for import?
Hi,
I need to get a CoC for a Mercedes Vito that I imported from the UK. The V5 certificate from the DVLA in the UK shows higher CO2 emissions than the official Mercedes figure. Is a CoC easy to get? There are many sites offering them but they have a whiff of scam of them and I wonder if I did get one from them, would it be acceptable to Revenue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thoughts on importing my trike?
Hi,
I am planning to bring my Honda Goldwing Trike from the UK to Ireland. Firstly due to having a vehicle into the country and VRT exempt on transfer of residency (TOR), will I be able to bring my trike in exempt under the same TOR? If not and VRT has to be paid could you give an idea on how much this would be please? The Trike is 27 years old and the 1500 GL model.
Thank you.
