Looking to buy a 2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi: are there any major issues with these cars?

I'm thinking of buying a 2006 Volkswagen Golf 1.9 TDI diesel or 2006 Ford Focus 1.6 diesel for daily journey from Cork to Kilkenny. What would you advise? Difference of €3k in the price.

What emissions should a Renault Laguna Coupé 2.0 dCi Monaco have and what would be the road tax for this model?

What trade in value should we expect for our Ford C-Max? It's the 2007 facelifted model with a 1.6 petrol engine, 90,000km, panoramic sunroof and full dealer service history. It's been a very reliable car, but as our annual mileage is on the up, we're looking at moving to a diesel. Hoping to replace with either a MINI Countryman or Nissan Qashqai, new or nearly new.

Can I transfer a tow bar from a 2001 BMW 316 to a 2008 Volvo S40?

When will the flywheel and the cluch set have to be replaced in a 2010 Audi A6 2.0 TDI Avant?

Have two cars in mind to buy at the moment: a 1.4 2004 Toyota Corolla Terra or a 2007 1.2 Volkswagen Polo. I travel mostly around town with the odd motorway journey. Looking for the best combo of cheap tax and insurance and performance. The Polo will cost approx €800 more to buy.

2008 Mercedes S 320 or 2011 E 250 Estate? Both in great condition. I am undecided between the two. In terms of reliability and running costs, what do you think?

Hi there,

Do you have any idea when an all-new Toyota Avensis will arrive? I thought it might have been 2015, but haven't seen or heard anything. Do you have any idea on design, specifications or prices? I'm thinking of it for a family car.

Thanks a million.

Which is the best to buy: Kia Sportage or Hyundai ix35, both with 1.7 diesel engines?
