A question about XPeng's five-year warranty...
Is there a reason why XPeng offer a five-year warranty in Ireland and better durations for warranties in other countries? Does the motor industry or government monitor warranty discrepancies in the EU single market vs. other countries to advocate for consumers?

Is the Peugeot 5008 PHEV coming to Ireland?
Hi all,
Love reading the reviews. Are there any plans for Peugeot to sell the plug-in-hybrid 5008 here in Ireland and if yes when is it expected to be available to order?
I'm a company car driver and the plug-in hybrid would be the best of both worlds for me trying to keep BIK costs down as electric would just not work for me or my job.

Can I convert a VW Tiguan van back into a car?
Hi,
Is it possible to put seats back into a VW Tiguan commercial van and change its use from commercial back to private and insure it as private vehicle?
Thank you

Will I have to pay VAT on importing this EV from the North?
I paid a deposit on a 2024 electric car in Northern Ireland. The car is being sold by a motor garage, registered in June 2024 with 2,600 miles on the clock. I am now worried I will be charged VAT in Ireland as the car was a demonstration model with the garage.
I have tried to get an answer with Revenue, and they have said it is decided on a case-by-case basis. I do not know what to do now.
Do you know if i will be charged?

VRT on a converted commercial vehicle?
Hi there,
I am thinking of importing a car that has been modified to become a First Call Hearse/Private Ambulance. What charges would this incur, and will it fit into the VRT category of a hearse or otherwise?
Thank you for your time.

Will future Volkswagens have buttons instead of touchscreens?
Hi,
Do you know if it's true that Volkswagen is putting a/c and heating control buttons back on its vehicles for 2026? I'm not a fan of having everything on screen. Changing basic settings can take my attention off the road for longer than it's safe and it's so easy to press the wrong setting by mistake. Turning off the heated seat when at its highest takes four swipes on my Golf. I don't have voice control. Buttons are far more instinctive.
Thanks.

Are these VRT estimates on a Transit Custom right?!
Hello,
I am looking to buy a family nine-seater like the Ford Tourneo Custom in NI. Unfortunately, Revenue's VRT calculator can't find anything from the years I've searched (2018, 2019, 2020), giving me a "No vehicle found for combination selected" error.
I tried vrt.ie, but it's giving me very high estimates. Could they be true?
For example, for a Feb 2019 Ford Tourneo Custom 2.0 EcoBlue 130hp Titanium, asking price £20,000, it came out at €16,493.48 CO2 (WTLP CO2 emissions: 215.867g/km, which seems crazy?) and €2,625 NOx charge.
For another specimen, a Jan 2020 Ford Tourneo 2.0 EcoBlue 130hp Titanium, they came at €8,979.6 CO2 (WTLP CO2 emissions: 164g/km) and €2,625 NOx.
Are these estimations even realistic? NOx is most certainly not right, but even the CO2 part seems excessive. But it's my first rodeo, so I really don't know! I would be very grateful for any clues.

My relative's cars have been off the road a long time...
I'm in a pickle. I have a 2005 car. An elderly relative has a 2002 VW Transporter and VW Passat and I want to take ownership of both, possibly take mine off the road and in time convert the VW Transporter to a camper. Both have been off the road for over two years now and the van was commercial. Will it cost me big money to tax and insure both? Where is best to get insurance how do I put both in my name?
