Why did my Toyota Corolla break down?
Hi,
My Toyota Corolla broke down on the M8 while driving to Dublin. Had the car for seven years no problem. It gave a clicking sound a few times and then suddenly started slowing down. I stopped by the hard shoulder and opened the bonnet to see smoke coming out of the engine. I got the oil indicator and thought it needs oil. I topped it up, but now the car won't start. I called breakdown assist who took me to the nearest garage. It just doesn't start now. What is wrong with my car?

Can I get Apple CarPlay on my 2015 Golf?
Will Apple CarPlay work on a 2015 Golf with Discover satnav by a software upgrade or would it have to be a hardware fix? I have the media-in cable already.

Is the Golf GTI Performance no more?
Has Volkswagen Ireland stopped importing the GTI Performance? I have been told by Volkswagen that production for the performance model is ceasing (but it still seems to be available to order in other markets). Wondering if this is a temporary measure to help shift the glut of R models available for sale?
Many thanks

I can't open my Opel Insignia's boot...
Battery went dead on my Open Insignia and I cannot open the boot manually. Is there a setting or fuse that might be the problem? The key fob only does the central locking...
