I need a second hand seven seater. Have seen a 2005 Renault Grand Espace automatic petrol, 95k miles, leather priced at €3,850. Fallen in love with a 2004 Land Rover Discovery 2.5-litre, auto, diesel, leather, 150k miles too. Price €5,250. Would I be crazy to go for Land Rover? Difference in tax isn't too big. Two trustworthy mechanics told me Renault give expensive problems but didn't ask about Land Rover!

I want to know everything about the Dahaitsu Terios 1.5

I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Ford Mondeo 2.0-litre diesel with 69,000 miles on the clock. I need to know are they good engines and troublefree?

Thanks, Noel

What is the trade-in value of a 2006 Volvo S60 with two owners, 140,000km on the clock?

Hi, I've read your piece about petrol vs diesel. Trouble is, I want a car that does better mpg. I have a petrol Polo 2009 1.2 (80,000km) that does about 45 to the gallon. I can trade this in with about €8-9K but it must have good mpg - 60+. We don't do that many miles a year but we'd head off to England and back and be forever filling up. What do you recommend looking at?

Hi, me and my girlfriend have a car each; mine is a 2003 Mazda6 and hers is a 2000 Audi A3. We no longer need both cars and were thinking of changing. What car would you recommend? We have a six-month old baby and only want to spend about €4-5k on a car.

Thanks

Hi guys, ere's the thing - we (me, wife, two kids (four and two)) need a second car, mainly for me to do school runs in and out of the city and the very occasional motorway journey. Currently have a 2000 Volkswagen Polo but it doesn't exactly put a smile on my face every time I drive it! Looking for something fun, good looking, that could handle a push buggy/baby seat and also needs to carry a bike on the back. In my late 30s so would a hot hatch be a no-no?

Thanks Andy

Hi, I have a Suzuki SX4 1.6 diesel, and I have been told the EGR valve needs to be replaced. It has been cleaned by main dealer but the light has come back on the dash. Is replacing the EGR successful? Quoted approx €600.00.

Does the 2000 Suzuki Wagon R have a timing chain?

How does fuel consumption of the 2006 Skoda Octavia RS petrol compare to that of a 2001 Volkswagen Golf GTI?
