How to work out VRT of non-listed car?
What if the specific car is not shown on the VRT calculator? For example 2019 Peugeot 508 1.6 petrol automatic GT-Line. There is no 1.6 petrol shown. I don't want to import the car without knowing the price to pay.
Thanks

VRT and tax on imported Toyota Hilux?
Hi,
I am relocating to Ireland (Co Cork) and I have purchased a Toyota Hilux pick up truck, but I am confused as to the rates of VRT. I will be starting a dog kennels business and using the truck for the business. Do I qualify for the €333 tax or is it something different? Car is a 67 plate bought in the UK, VAT paid, 2.2-litre automatic with 21,000 miles on the clock.
I really appreciate your help as it is very confusing on the Revenue website.
Many thanks
Mark

My Insignia's stop-start system is faulty.
I have a 2015 Insignia 1.6 CDTi Ecoflex. The stop-start system only works when the battery is charged manually and then stops after a few days. New battery fitted by dealer six months ago.

Does my Hyundai i40 have a timing belt?
Recently purchased a 2012 Hyundai i40 CRDi 136 and trying to find out when the timing belt has to be changed. According to a main dealer the car only ever came with a chain. Any information would be great.

Where to fit my toll tag?
I have a Vauxhall/Opel Corsa and I just got a toll tag, but I'm not sure where I can place it on my windscreen where it will work properly. The guidance is to place it behind the rear view mirror in the shaded/dotted area, but I have an an athermic windscreen, which also has a panel behind the rear view mirror with a camera/sensor in it, so there isn't any space directly behind the mirror. There also isn't any shaded or dotted area anywhere on the windscreen.
Any ideas of where to put it?
Thanks
