Hi, I need to know if my 2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.3 diesel has a DPF.

How much oil should my 2009 Ford Focus 1.6 diesel take?

Is it mandatory for all new cars to be fitted with daytime running lights?

Hi - with about €35,000 to spend on a second hand Porsche - which should I go for? 911, Cayman or Boxster?

If you had €35k to spend on a sporty car what would you buy? Doesn't necessarily need to be new, would go up to three years old, running costs wouldn't be that much of an issue but need to tolerable all the same, i.e. car tax < €1,000 a year.

I am driving a 2000 Volkswagen Golf petrol and I need to change to diesel. I have about €7,000 to spend; what would you recommend?

Hi, I need to get an automatic car for a price in the region of €10k. Preferably economical and reliable but not a Micra type car. I am looking at 2008/9 Prius, 2008/9 Golf, 2010 Kia cee'd and 2011 Renault Fluence. I am edging towards the Fluence but I am getting the usual "you can't trust Renault, stick to German or Japanese cars" type comments.

Any thoughts on the topic?

Toyota Corolla 1.4 petrol(2008) versus Volkswagen Passat 1.9 diesel (2008)? My husband drives on a motorway every day to work about 45km a day. Our budget is from €5,000 to €8,000. We've seen a 2008 Toyota Corolla with 103,000km and a Passat 1.9 TDI diesel with 125,000km on the clock. Can you guide us in selecting the most suitable car?

Thnx
