Why is the Suzuki Jimny so expensive to tax?
I am confused! I saw a 2008 Suzuki Jimny 1.3 I liked the look of. Went on to motortax online to see how much tax for the year was. It said tax band 171-190g/km, which is 677 euros!!! Emailed dealer and he said tax correct. Surely something seriously wrong? My husband's Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0-litre is €660 and other Jimnys are 358 Euros.

Is it ok to put mis-matching tyres on my Toyota RAV4?
Would it be okay to put tyres not matching on my 2006 Toyota RAV4 D4D? Could it interefere with the four-wheel drive engaging automatically and are there any other things I should be aware of? These tyres are brought in from abroad and almost new and it's tempting to buy them as they are a fraction of the price of new ones.
Would really appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks

How do I find out the salvage value of my Mitsubishi Colt?
My 2007 Mitsubishi Colt CZC 1.5 has just been deemed unrepairable by the insurance company. I now have the option of keeping the car and trying to get the salvage value myself or surrendering the car and accepting a cheque minus the salvage value. Question is where do I find the salvage value?
