When calculating VRT is the band rate what you pay at the WLTP CO2 rate or the CO2 that is on the V5?

I am privately buying a car from Northern Ireland registered in 2019. I understand the VRT but have no idea how and where to do custom duty to bring it across the border. Can you advise on this please?

Thanks so much.

How much is it to tax a Renault Master van (2.5-litre engine) privately?

Does the new-for-2025 electric Citroen C4 225 have a front camera in the Max level? And what reductions should apply if I was to get a demonstration model?

Can you compare the electric Opel Grandland with the Renault Scenic E-Tech for me please?

Hi guys,

I'd like your advice please on what to change my SEAT Ateca for or stick like for like (it's a lovely drive).

I live in north Donegal so very windy roads but now spend three out of four weeks in Louth caring for my father who's had a stroke, So wheelchair and Zimmer frame space is needed. I already have heated front seats in mine, that's a must, plus I mind my grandnephew and there's a new baby on the way so it needs to be easy to fit a car seat also.

Because Donegal is so hilly I need a good bit of power. I was thinking automatic for the longer drives but honestly don't mind manual. I'm also used to diesel, I'd like rear parking assistance, Bluetooth, anti-collision detection if possible.

So many to choose from my brain is addled, I've a 172 Ateca at the moment so want to go 2021+ and my maximum budget is €16,000 plus whatever I get for my car as a trade-in.

Any advice would be great thank you

Looking at a 2019 Mercedes CLA 1.3 petrol with low mileage to replace a 2016 Mazda6 Platinum 2.2 diesel (150hp).

Is it a good buy?

Hi,

How can I tell when my Peugeot 5008 hybrid is in electric mode? It doesn't seem to be clocking up electric miles very often, even when I am doing a lot of city driving.

I have a 2006 Ford Focus estate. I'm having a problem that no one seems to be able to figure out. The battery light comes on and the car dies a while after. I then use my booster pack to start it and it goes for a day or two until it happens again.

Since this has started the battery and alternator have been replaced but I still have the same problem. The modules have been done, the thermostat too. My mechanic cannot figure out what it is.

When the battery light comes on, the car is sluggish, chugging and goes to cut out.

I'm at my wits end.

When will I be able to buy the Jaecoo 7 in Ireland?
