I want a van for private use. How do I do that?

I want a standard van, Renault Trafic for example. I want to use it to travel through France and Spain carrying two e-bikes, two rollators, two dogs, luggage and my wife - we are both retired. I want to put some carpet in the back and sometimes, when needed, sleep there. I do not intend to transport goods, provide services or camp everywhere. How can I make this happen?

Which spec on a Mercedes GLC to go for?

I'm buying a Mercedes GLC 220 d AMG Line with 20-inch wheels. Are they comfortable enough? They look good with aluminium side skirts. Or am I better getting the 19-inch wheels without side skirt? Also I'm getting the light-grey leather and I have been told it has been coated with a leather product to protect the seats; is this true?

Can I import my company's Range Rover VRT free?

Hi

I'm permanently based in Cork but have a company in the UK for which I travel back and forth regularly for work. I have a vehicle over there, a 2017 Range Rover. Can I bring this back to Ireland after owning it for longer than six months in the UK and avoid VRT etc?
