Why doesn't the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV use a CVT?
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV comes with a single reduction gear transmission, why not a CVT? Does this not mean that engine and electric motors miss out on the advantages of operating at their optimum torque or economy band?

Can you help my mechanic fix my Focus?
Hi, my mechanic has put a new (well second hand 2007) engine into my 2006 Ford Focus but it's misfiring on one of the cylinders. He tried replacing the coil, discovered that's not the issue and is now in the process of changing out various sensors, but nothing has worked so far. He says there's not a problem with the new engine and is running out of ideas. Would you have any suggestions?

Should I trust a seller saying he has serviced this Opel Astra?
Hello there,
I would like to buy a 2007 Opel Astra SXi with around 56,000km on the clock. The seller cannot provide any proof of maintenance since he bought it but says that he has done everything. I can see that one belt has been changed (looks new), but I cannot see for the timing belt. Should I do something special or just trust him?
Thanks for your assistance
