Can I alter my Renault Clio's headlights?
I have recently purchased the 2013 4th generation Renault Clio. I bought this car in the UK, but am due to have an extended stay in Germany with the army shortly. I will be there approximately six months. I know when travelling abroad for long periods it is advisable to alter headlights. Could you advise if the 2013 Clio dCi Dynamique S Medianav has the ability to 'flat beam' headlights as I have been informed that this will be acceptable during my time there?
Thanks
Katie

I'm 21 and looking for my first car...
I am 21 and looking for my first car, but I'm a bit lost. A 1.4 would be ideal with insurance and I have about €4,700 to spend. Any advice as to what cars I should be looking for? Rather something that will last me a few years.

Do I pay VAT on importing a car from NI?
Hi,
I'm thinking of purchasing a car in Northern Ireland and then importing it to the south. I understand about the VRT procedure, but can you explain what the story with paying the VAT is? When? Where? Etc.

Hi,
I am interested in buying a used 2008 Audi A6 3.2, but how do I know if it's quattro or not? There is no tag of quattro on the back, just A6 3.2.
