Are there any serious mechanical issues with the Land Rover Discovery 3 that a prospective buyer should know about?

I'm interested in this 2009 1 Series BMW on Carzone.ie. Are there any issues of note with this import?

here's the link

Thanks

I'm tall and have a bad back - can you suggest car types that have seat adjustment and plenty of head room to give some degree of elevation as well as support? I don't want to go over a 1,400cc engine.

Is it worth buying a bi-fuel (ethanol/petrol) car in Ireland yet? (Ford Focus C-Max 1.8 Flexi-Fuel for example)?

Hello. Can you tell me the difference in running costs between a 2000 Ford Ka 1.3 petrol (88k miles) and a 2003 Citroen C4 2.0 diesel (65k miles)?

Cheers

I'm thinking of buying a 2005 Alfa Romeo 156 Sportiva. Are they a good car?

Hi, I am looking into getting a 2004 - 2007 Focus C-Max. I have always bought diesels in my past few cars due to great economy. I currently have a Citroen Picasso 2.0 HDi, but want to drop to a 1.6 to save on tax. My driving habits would be mainly urban, with the odd long run. No more than 15k miles a year, I would guess.

I am aware that there could be costly repairs down the road with an older but relatively modern deisel engine. I'm looking at 1.6 in either diesel or petrol. Reliability would be very important to me. What would you advise I go for?

Seems to be better choice with petrol options.

Thanks Kevin

What car/MPV/SUV can fit three child seats in the back?

Hi is the 2008 Toyota Corolla 1.4 petrol a good car? It's a Terra model with 103,000km on the clock and is selling for €8,950. Does this price sound ok? It has alloys (Borbet) added. I test drove the car and while it wasnt the most exciting drive it felt better than some other 1.2-litre cars I drove. Is it fuel efficient compared to say a Ford Fiesta?

Thanks

I'm thinking of buying a 2001 BMW 3 Series (E46) SE Touring 136hp. Any problems to look out for on this and roughly what price should I pay? It's diesel with 157,000 miles on the clock.
