I recently purchased a 2018 Toyota Yaris hybrid from a used dealer, which was a UK import and I changed my registration to Ireland. The car has a five-year warranty; is this applicable in Ireland?

I am planning on buying a Volkswagen Tiguan Elegance 1.5 petrol in the New Year; as it comes with 19-inch wheels and I like my comfort should I get Adaptive Chassis Control as an extra?

Where to get Mercedes Vito CoC for import?
Hi,
I need to get a CoC for a Mercedes Vito that I imported from the UK. The V5 certificate from the DVLA in the UK shows higher CO2 emissions than the official Mercedes figure. Is a CoC easy to get? There are many sites offering them but they have a whiff of scam of them and I wonder if I did get one from them, would it be acceptable to Revenue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
