Does Hyundai's warranty transfer to Ireland?

Hi,

I found your article on importing a car from UK very helpful, thanks. My question is, are there any issues regarding the manufacturer's warranty on imported cars? I'm considering purchasing a Hyundai in Northern Ireland and there is over three years left on the warranty; does this transfer without an issue when I bring car to the Republic?

Thanks

Do I need to change a cracked brake disc?

Hello,

I checked my brake disc (the front one) and there is a crack after a small part from the top of the disc got cracked out from an accident and everything else is okay except this part so is it safe to keep it or should I change it?

Thanks a lot for the help

Why do Honda S2000s cost so much to insure?

Why do Honda S2000s cost so much to insure? I'm 28 and have eight years no claims, no penalty points and want to insure myself and my 26-year-old girlfriend (full licence) on the car. All the major insurers have refused to quote for me only, never mind her, and the excess they are  trying to charge me is over a grand. I have just gotten a quote for a Lotus Elise for the two of us for €700! Why is the S2000 so dear?

How to sell a 2000 Toyota Avensis?

Hi,

I have a Toyota Avensis that I want to sell for export. It's year 2000 with 180,000 miles on the clock. The car is still running but the head gasket is not far from going (have to fill coolant up regularly). Do you know who might buy car from me and how much I'd get?
