Passat or Insignia? Help!
Hi guys
Very close to changing, but caught between 2010 Volkswagen Passat Highline with the 1.6 TDI engine or a very good price on a 2009 Opel Insignia 2.0 diesel CTDi. I have seen your review of the Insignia regards a creeking plastic interior. The Insignia is the better looking car but would Passat be better overall?

Why won't my Skoda Octavia start?
I have just bought a 2006 Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI Elegance and now it won't start. It turns over and the battery went flat so I replaced it with a new one, but it still wont fire up. The glow plug light goes out and the dash lights are working fine. Any ideas?
Cheers
John

What can I do to ensure a Volvo XC90 is mechanically sound?
Hi, I'm pondering a second-hand Volvo XC90 2.5T AWD from a dealer. It comes at a reasonable price, with a clean Cartell.ie report and a three-month warranty. However, it's at the top of my budget. I know as much about cars as the mice know about the moon - it's big and shiny. What can I do to check if the car will drive me for some time without major faults?

Where can I find accessories for a MINI Clubman?
How much can you customise a MINI after it is bought? For example I am buying a second-hand Clubman, but am unsure as to can I get all this famous MINI extras after it is first made. I know I can get some from the dealer but they are expensive. So is there any non-dealer MINI accessories dealers in Ireland or UK?

Does the BMW X3 have full-time four-wheel drive?
Hi,
Is the 2005 BMW X3 2.0-litre diesel permanent four-wheel drive or not? If it is would it be very hard on tyres and suspension?
