Who do Land Rover sponsor in Ireland? Who are the Lexus brand ambassadors in Ireland?

Hi, we have a 2005 BMW 116i with 124,000 kilometres on the clock. When do the timing and fan belts need to be changed? They haven't been done before.

Thank you

Hi, I am driving an 08 MINI Cooper 1.6D that is a work lease car. I want to buy a small car for less than €8,000 - ideally a 1.1 or so that I don't feel the drop too much! I do very low mileage - 5,000km per year - but want something that could manage a motorway journey or two a year ok. What would you recommend? I have been looking at something 08 or newer: Hyundai i10, Toyota Yaris; old model Fiesta/Polo - any other ideas?

My mam's 2007 Opel Corsa came back from a service with the garage saying it had to replace the 'sump plug o-ring' and I am wondering what could have caused this?

2007 BMW 316 or Audi A4 1.6? Which one is better?

I'm looking to sell my 2006 Skoda Octavia Ambiente 1.4 with 120,000 kilometres on the clock, in dark green, but I don't know how much to ask. It's taxed until 02/13 and has an NCT to 2014. Very clean with timing belt and water pump done already. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Brian

You said in your review last year that the two-wheel drive version of the new 1.6 diesel Nissan Qashqai would be arriving "in the middle of the year". Any update on this, as Nissan Ireland has no mention of it on its web site, still just listing the older 1.5 dCi version?

Hi, as a learner driver, which is the best of these? 2008 Hyundai i30 Classic 1.4 (99,000 kilometres) or 2008 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 (32,000 kilometres)? Asking price is €8,000 for both.

When will the next generation Mazda6 be launched in Ireland?

I am considering buying a new Nissan Note. I have priced from a main dealer and also from a SIMI dealer  who imports from the UK. The import has a higher spec and is about €2,000 cheaper with all the standard warranties etc. Is there anything I should be aware of when buying an import?

Thanks
