Which car finance route to go, please?

Hello,

I would like to buy a car I'm used to second hand cars as I have a very limited budget. I'm still confused about the PCP option, scrappage trade ins and hire purchase. My normal route is to get a loan from my credit union, but the older my car is the more I end up paying for repairs. Could you help me in finding my best option because I'm a bit lost with it all?

Thank you

Anita

Can I change my Volvo V40's speedometer?

I have a Volvo V40 D3 Pro Nav with Xenium Pack and Intellisafe Pro. Can the mph on the speedometer be easily changed to km/h or is it stuck on mph forever?

Do I really have to pay back-tax?

Hi, I bought a 2.0-litre Hyundai on the 21st of July and went online to tax it this morning and Revenue wants 75 Euro back tax for July; surely that can't be fair?

My Skoda Octavia's steering is gone heavy...

Hi,

I bought a 2006 Skoda Octavia TDI a few weeks ago. So tonight in the dash there's a red light on and suddenly the steering is very heavy. I don't know what's wrong with my car. I checked all the fuses.
