Ford Mondeo ST 220 TDCi: what are the common problems?

I have a question regarding Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems and wondering if you can clarify the EU regulations in regard to this matter. I keep a very keen eye on car specifications and I'm aware that these systems on cars are to be mandatory by a certain date but I can't seem get a definite answer. I notice many cars are including them as standard now and others only offer as an option. It might be worthwhile to inform new car buyers that this should be included as I think very soon they will be on all cars.

Many thanks if you can get to answer this for me.

Guys, my brother is looking to buy a seven-seater to lug his (many) kids about. Could you advise on the best out there? Budget is only €10k though. If it could deliver on boot space too that'd be a plus, but seven seats may eat into that. Reliability a big thing too (no unexpected bills in a recession if possible!).

Thanks in advance.

I have a 2003 Subaru Impreza 1.6 petrol saloon 4wd with approx 170,000 miles on the clock and an NCT until next March. I am looking around at the moment at other cars, and the Mazda RX-8 is taking my fancy. Just wondering would I be able to cut a deal with a dealer to sell my Impreza, whether it would be worth anything to me?

Which small convertible should I go for? I have a budget of up to €13,000 and would like a stylish car for a change from my 2005 Toyota Yaris. I do little mileage and would hope to buy something I will love for a number of years. I have been looking out for a Volkswagen Eos 1.4 with leather interior but these are not that easy to find. I have also looked at the Peugeot 207 CC 1.6 but am open to all suggestions.

Thanking you.

I am currently in the market for a 2008 and up Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5 and have come across the Intense model. When trying to get an insurance quote for this model I am left stumped as the insurance companies only suggest the models DE, ES and GTS. Which model is the Intense relative to these?

How much is a 2008 BMW 730d worth with 80,000 miles on the clock - and are they hard on fuel?

What is the value of my vehicle? I have a 2007 Nissan Almera 1.5 SXE, gold metallic, alloy wheels, NCT 2015, tax Nov 2013, 155,000km, good condition. Any ideas?

What car is more fuel efficent: 2005 BMW 5 Series 2.2 petrol, 2005 BMW 5 Series 2.5 diesel or a 2007 Lexus IS 250 petrol - all automatics

Thanks

Hi, I changed the battery in my 2008 1.5 dCi Renault Laguna and now I have no power at all. It won't switch on, doors not locking, windows, or lights nothing works. The only thing that is working is the power steering buzzing and you can turn the wheels. What would have happened?
