Hi,

Do you know if the 2009 Toyota Avensis TR D-4D has a timing chain or belt? I can't find the answer in the manual or online.

Thanks,

Joan

When does my timing belt need changing? I have a 2012 Ford Mondeo 1.6 TDCi Edge. Ford recommend 125,000 miles, but I see another question answered for a Titanium model at 140,000km.

When do I need to change the timing belt on my 2010 Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec petrol?

I have an Audi A3 hatchback 1.4 petrol with only 5,500km on the clock, doing short trips. Bought the car in September 2014. Do I need an oil and filter change?

This is my supplementary question to Neil Briscoe regarding VRT on classic cars. Thank you for following up Neil. Regarding the fact that the car in question has been in Ireland since 2006 without being registered, will this mean that a surcharge will apply on registering the car now due to the lateness of that registration?

Many thanks again

James

I have a 2008 Volkswagen Passat diesel with 120,000 miles on the clock. I am looking at a 2012 diesel Ford C-Max with 60,000 miles. How much should I expect to pay and would you recommend the Ford?

Many thanks.

I am considering the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz GLC 220 d, but I note the Sport version of this car does not seem to be available from Mercedes-Benz Ireland. Is this going to remain the case or is it likely that the Sport will come on stream, as I would like to consider this car spec as it opens the door to the Off Road Option wherein I would be able to take the car into forest tracks etc, but not in any severe capacity.

Hi guys,

I currently drive a 2011 Volkswagen Passat saloon 1.4 TSI, but am looking to change to an estate. The obvious choice is the Passat Estate 1.4 TSI, but is there any other petrol estate I should consider? My mileage doesn't justify the change to diesel.

Thanks.

What is the value of a 2007 BMW 1 Series with 40,000 miles on the clock?

What are the most common problems with the 2002 Mazda 323 GLX? Is there anything I should look out for when buying one?
