Is a warranty valid on a UK import?
Hi,
Wondering if you could assist me, please. I’m looking at potentially buying a UK-imported VW Golf from a Mazda dealer garage. It will have two years left of the manufacturer warranty. Will that warranty be valid in Ireland if something unfortunately happened and who would I take the car to, a local Irish Volkswagen dealership? The garage/seller maintains the warranty would be valid.
Can you please confirm?
Thanks in advance.

Can I use a VW Amarok for private use?
Hi,
I am trying to buy a Volkswagen Amarok because I am constantly driving around quarries as I am a truck driver, and my car just doesn’t suit the terrain. I have tried enquiring about insurance for this and they are asking for proof of my business but since I am working for someone and not owning my own business then I cannot get insurance
Is there any way I could change the Amarok over from commercial use to private despite the price of tax but just so that I can insure it as a car?
Thank you very much

Hi,
I've just bought a 2014 Skoda Octavia 1.4 TSI Elegance petrol. Car has only completed 24,000km. No indication whether a timing belt has previously been changed. Car runs perfectly. Can you advise when I should start think about checks /changing the belt please?
Thanks

Is VRT higher on an Audi TT Roadster?
Hi,
I'm thinking of importing a convertible car (2017 Audi TT 1.8 petrol cabriolet) from Northern Ireland and put the details into the VRT calculator. However, the calculator only gives the choice of three 1.8 petrol models, all of which are coupes, not convertibles. Is VRT higher for a convertible car?
Thanks
