How can I protect my Volkswagen Golf?
I have a 2012 Volkswagen Golf 1.6 diesel R edition. Was broken into Saturday night. Thieves popped the locks electronically. Gardaí attended from Whitehall station. Said it was the second Golf that night in the area had been robbed. They even relocked the car setting the factory fitted alarm.
Contacted Volkswagen Ireland this morning asked if they can do anything like upgrade the software on the car transponders to use a different set of codes. Got a sharp 'nothing we can do'.
Are you folks aware of any such stories of other Golfs being broken into this way?

Should I worry about a modified Toyota Auris?
Hi there,
I was just looking at a 2007 Toyota Auris for sale from a dealer. Looks good - 70,000 miles on clock, NCT until 2017. But my worry is that it has a spoiler and body kit stuff done from previous owner (boy racer alert!). Would it be a risk to buy this or am I being paranoid?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Do I need to change my Mondeo's timing belt?
Hi,
Our 2007 Ford Mondeo 2007 just passed its NCT, had a service, got a new battery etc. Just wondering (as I do not have a notion!) when I may need to get timing belt replaced? Seen a similar reply on a Mondeo but unsure if it is the same with our 07 saloon model.
Thanks,
Karen
