Will my clutch wear going down hill?
Does clutch wear when it is fully engaged, but the gas isn't pressed going down hill? It's like gear is engaged while going down the hill I fully press my clutch then slightly press the brakes: will my clutch still wear?

Will my trade-in cover a new finance deposit?
I have a Chevrolet Aveo 1.4 car and I'm thinking of trading it in under a scrappage scheme. Will I have to make a deposit or does the trade-in value go as a deposit on the new car and what would the payments be back on €20,000 for the car?

Next-gen Nissan X-Trail or Skoda Kodiaq?
Hi guys,
Regarding the Nissan X-Trail and its new 2.0-litre diesel engine, will it be introduced into the current X-Trail series or are we going to see the updated X-Trail (as per US/Austrailia) hit Ireland in 2017 with an updated engine range? Really appreciate any comment you have, as I'm looking at something in the Skoda Kodiaq/X-Trail range.
