Does my Ford Kuga need a new belt now?
Hi,
I have a 2015 Ford Kuga 1.6 with 89,000km on the clock. It's due for its annual service and the Ford Service Centre has suggested that I replace the timing belt during this service. Is it necessary at this stage?
Regards, Wilstan

Can I fit a child seat in the third row?
Hi,
We have a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe. We are unable to install the three car seats we have in the middle row so are wondering if it is safe to install a convertible forward facing child car seat in the third row using the seatbelt? I know it might not be illegal but is it safe?
Thanks

Will I fit three kids in back of my Duster?
Hi!
I have a 2019 Dacia Duster. I have a 2 and a half year old using a Maxi Cosi Axis seat, which uses the standard three-point belt. I am expecting twins and wondering will I be able to fit two infant seats in addition to my toddler into the back of the Duster?
Thanks.

Reading your review of the BMW X1 plug-in hybrid, can you advise if the engine can charge the drive battery as that battery is the only source of power for the four-wheel drive?
