Ask Us Anything

Hi,

I am thinking about purchasing a US car that has just been registered in the UK. The car in question meets the UK IVA standards and passed all tests. The lights have also been adjusted to meet EU standards. I have two questions:

1. Is the IVA test good enough (the car hasn't really been driven much in the UK and looks to have all documents in check) or should I fork out for an independent test. Trying to minimize my spend as I will need it for VRT.

2. How much will VRT be on a 2014 5.7-litre?

Many thanks

Derek

What's the whirring noise in my Nissan Primera 1.8 (2002)? It starts when the car is in motion not when stationary.

Hi, I currently have a 2003 Volkswagen Polo, 1.2 65hp. I am thinking of trading it in and getting a Ford Fiesta. Is it as reliable as the Polo? Also, is the base 1.25 60hp engine enough for a car that is heavier and bigger than my Polo?

When will the prices and trim specifications be announced for the new Skoda Kodiaq?

Hey guys, I am thinking of importing a car from the UK. I was just wondering if you have any advice as to the cheapest way of paying for it, i.e. where to get the best conversion rate?

If you are buying a new "new" car, is there anything you can do from the start to protect the paintwork, especially the bonnet area where it seems to get hit with stones and gravel, etc, which cause marks, sometimes indents and eventually give rise to rust spots? It's happened with every car I've had.

Thanks,

Philip

What VRT or tax in Ireland would I pay on a Mercedes Benz CLA 220 Sport auto diesel coming from England?

How do the rear seats fold falt on a Skoda Octavia?

I have a 1.6 2012 Ford Mondeo. At how many miles do I get the timing belt done?

I'm due to change my car in 2017. Options I'm considering are Peugeot 508 RXH, Ford Mondeo Vignale and Skoda Superb Sportline Estate. What would you recommend?

Regards
