Just wondering about the Mercedes-Benz 280 SE circa 1977. Are there any issues I should worry about before purchasing one?

Hi, I am considering purchasing a 2004 Nissan GR Patrol passenger vehicle privately. It has 110,000 miles (177,000km) on the clock and I am getting bad reports on this type of vehicle regarding overheating and cyclinder head problems etc, but at the same time I'm aware that it is the vehicle of choice with United Nations and Irish Army etc, although I do see the Irish Army has changed to Mitsubishi Pajeros. What do you think?

Hi, I have a 2007 Nissan Almera 1.5-litre petrol. I just wanted to enquire whether it was unusual for these Almeras to have high engine oil consumption.

Many thanks

I am thinking of buying a 2009 Audi A3, which is a UK or NI import with 93,000 miles (about 150,000km) on the clock. Are there any specific questions I should be asking the salesman? When should the timing belt/chain be changed?

Where can I get a rolling luggage cover for the rear of a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Hi. I am considering a 2006/07 Range Rover Sport. Some say they give mechanical trouble and can be expensive to repair. What is your opinion?

How often do you change the timing belt on a Hyundai Trajet? It's a 1,998cc diesel.

My 2004 Mercedes-Benz M 270 CDI is discharging the battery within two hours when parked up. It has a new battery, the sam units, alternator, interior overhead lighting, door sensors and dash clocks were all checked and none of these seem to be the problem. Have you any suggestions to what may be the cause of this?

What mileage should I change the timing belt in a Mercedes-Benz M 270 CDI?

I own a Skoda Yeti Greenline and it has no spare wheel. Where could I get one? I don't like the system supplied with the car.
