My S-Max is less economical than it was...
Hi,
My 2007 Ford S-Max 1.8 diesel has just had the timing belt changed and now has a massive increase in fuel consumption. Instead of 570 miles per tank it's only 400. Any ideas?
Cheers

Do I need a van AND a car?!
Hi there,
I am looking to get a van. I wish to use it for commercial purposes as I am a fitness instructor and need to transport gear around. Also for personal use. It seems that I can ONLY use the van for commercial purposes and am denied insurance if it is for personal use as well. It seems unnecessary, and is an unfeasible cost, getting a car for personal use and the van for work. I cannot fit the work gear in a car, hence the need for a van. Any advice would be great!
Thanks a mill!

Can I rent a DeLorean in Ireland to drive?
Hello!
My name is Kira. My husband and I will travel to Ireland in September. And we would like to take a 2-3 hour ride on the legendary DeLorean DMC-12 in Dublin or Belfast for the experience and cool photos! Dates: ~8-22 September 2019. Tell me, please, is it possible? What documents are needed and how much will it cost?
Thanks for your reply, have a nice day!

What are the new BMW 330e seats like?
Hi there.
I'm interested in the new BMW 330e plug-in hybrid. I test drove the older version and found the sports seats very cramped (as I'm a big lad!). Have you any info on the G20 sports seats? Have they been improved/made bigger?

Will my private van be given a CVT still?
Hi there,
I’ve just bought a van it’s described as a goods vehicle on my registration document. I’m taxing it for private use as I’m not farming anymore. Do I need to get goods changed to private on the registration document? And how much will DOE test cost and will it be still tested in centre for vans?
