My NCT disc has not arrived - what to do?
I bought a car from a garage and they say it has a one-year NCT on it, though they had to register the new number plate from UK to an Irish one and told me the NCT disc would be sent to me. I have taxed and insured the car, but no NCT disc has arrived; what should I do?

Is Audi's 191 deal too good to be true?
Audi appears to be offering a very good deal on a new A4 with a style kit and an automatic upgrade for free at the moment; is this too good to be true? Can you get both on one car?

Petrol, hybrid or diesel for my next car?
Hello
I'm unsure whether I should opt for hybrid, diesel or petrol for my next car. I drive approx 80km per day, mainly national roads. I am interested in hybrid, but considering I drive very little in town/city environments, I'm not sure it's the best option. I'd love your opinion as everyone I speak to seems to have conflicting advice.
Many thanks

Explain how VRT works on extras...
Can you explain how VRT is calculated on optional extras on an imported car? I understand there is a sliding scale depending on age of car. For example what is the additional VRT on a 2017 BMW 520 with €10,000 extras?
