Can I avoid VRT on importing my parents' car?
I was living in UK from January 2015 to December 2015. I was insured on and driving my parents' car. I now am importing that car into Ireland as they can no longer drive it. Will I have to pay VRT? I was resident in the Republic before going to UK for the year.

What's wrong with my nearly new Golf TDI?
Hi,
I have a Volkswagen Golf Mk7 TDI diesel, just 10 weeks old, 6,600km on the clock. Engine management light flashing and loses ability to accelerate. Light goes off and acceleration restored once ignition turned off and on again. Gets a 90km spin almost daily. Second time it's happened in past four weeks.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Can I find identity of previous bike owners?
Can the motor taxation office reveal the identity of previous owners of vehicles? I bought a vintage motorcycle a few years ago, fixed it up, got a replacement logbook because its own was lost. A man saw it one day and thinks his father owned it years ago. He is interested in buying it back but he is not certain it's the same bike. How do we find out?
