What is with import codes for certain counties?!

How come the import code for Wicklow and Wexford and one other county are the same at 11,000? I don't understand; why over complicate what was always such a simple format. I agree with the 151/152 regs, but the aforementioned is completely stupid!

Can you advise me on replacing my Passat?

Hi,

I am selling a 2008 Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDI with 209,000km on the clock and a full service history. What should I get for it? Also, would you buy a 2012/2013 Passat with the ongoing emissions issue or a Mondeo or any other suggestions?

Should I buy a new Skoda Octavia L&K Combi?

Hi, you reviewed the Skoda Octavia L&K recently and I was wondering what wheel and engine noise were like in the cabin of the car. I am close to making a decision on a Combi estate version and the spec is very high compared to other similarly priced cars. Overall would you think it would be a good investment, as I intend to keep it for five years at least?

Many thanks, Ian O'Neill
