Can you help with the roof on my Peugeot 306 CC?
Hi, I have a '98 Peugeot 306 CC with a folding electric roof. I'm having a problem when closing the roof. It opens perfectly but when it's closing the back window won't open to let the boot part down: i.e. it isn't completing the closing sequence. Could this be an electrical problem? Can you help?

My Honda's head gasket has gone twice in nine months!
I got the head gasket done on my 02 Honda Civic 1.4 last September (2010) due to burst radiator. Now it's gone again after nine months. Would this indicate it was not fixed properly or just bad luck?
Regards, Tom

My car has a problem at idle
Hi,
I have a 2004 1.6-litre Skoda Octavia. At idle the car chugs as if it is about to cut out and sometimes acceleration fluctuates. What do you think it is?
Thank you

How do I change the oil and filter on my 2007 Volkswagen Passat TDI? I've changed the oil on my previous (1999) Passat, but the 2007 version is different - and how often should I change it?
Thank you

Can you explain what 'VAT' qualifying means on importing a car from the UK?
I am considering buying a car in the UK. Can you clarify what 'VAT qualifying' means? Does this mean that I can get the UK VAT back but I have to pay Irish VAT and VRT? I realise VAT is payable on cars less than six months old.
