Looking to buy a car from the Northern Ireland. Was first registered in the North to a company and hasn't changed hands since. Is the car due VAT if brought into the Ireland? Revenue mentions if it's owned by a private owner it'll be exempt from VAT. Is a company counted as private ownership?

Can I reduce the amount of motor tax on a pickup if I use it for work purposes even if I'm not self-employed?

Hello, I have a Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi registered in January 2009.

I was told that two timing belts need to be changed depending on the year of manufacture. On some models, this would be unnecessary, as a chain is used in place of the second belt.

Is my vehicle affected by this double change?

I have an Irish driving licence for over 10 years and 6 years no claims bonus on a Hyundai i20 (1.2-litre engine) and I'm aged 35. Planning to buy a Tesla, but I'm not sure how much it is going to cost on insurance. I currently have comprehensive insurance with Zurich (€450 a year) and there is no company that can provide me a quote without a registration number, and I can't get the reg until I pay the deposit and place the order before. What do I do?

Looking to get a 6+ seater for my big family. We've been driving a SEAT Tarraco of some description for five years but it's on the small side for our needs. Trying to nail down the best value offering on the market at the moment is proving difficult.

We've looked at the Mazda CX-80, Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota Highlander in person, but also have the Kia Sorento/EV9, Ford Tourneo, Multivan etc. on our list to check out.

We'd be going with a PCP most likely. We currently run an i30 as well, so with any more than six people going together we need the two cars. Option of having a six-seater or pushing to an 8/9 van.

Any thoughts would be amazing.
