Hi, my mechanic has put a new (well second hand 2007) engine into my 2006 Ford Focus but it's misfiring on one of the cylinders. He tried replacing the coil, discovered that's not the issue and is now in the process of changing out various sensors, but nothing has worked so far. He says there's not a problem with the new engine and is running out of ideas. Would you have any suggestions?

Hello there,

I would like to buy a 2007 Opel Astra SXi with around 56,000km on the clock. The seller cannot provide any proof of maintenance since he bought it but says that he has done everything. I can see that one belt has been changed (looks new), but I cannot see for the timing belt. Should I do something special or just trust him?

Thanks for your assistance

When will the new Volvo XC90 be on sale in Ireland and do you expect it to be priced much higher than the current model? I am interested in one for next year.

Hi, I have a budget of €3,600 and I need a car that can fit three seats in the back, two booster and one baby. I don't want to go above a 1.5-litre engine size. Any advice?. I've seen a Renault Scenic, but have been advised against ever buying one; it's tough as it's in my budget and has the room I need!

What alternatives are there to the Ford S-Max? We want to trade ours in. We want a five-seater with the option of easily converting to a seven-seater when needed.
