How does this Audi A4 sound?
Hi,
I am interested in a Audi A4 automatic 2.0-litre 177hp. The car is a 2015 model with about 72,000 miles on the clock. It is on sale at a garage in a town near by. The sales man is looking for €17,500 for the car. Is this a fair price and is 72,000 miles high for a car of that type? Wexford town is six miles from my home.
Kind regards,
Martin Sheehan.

Why is my Jaguar motor tax so high?
My car is a 2007 2.0-litre X-Type Jaguar with CO2 emissions (V7) of 149g/km; why am I charged €710 rather than a much lower rate? It is diesel.

How much to tax these pick-ups?
How much is it to tax the Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 privately? I could only find your comparison with a 3.0-litre. Does it go on the CO2 or the engine size? Same with Ford Ranger 2.2 please.

Is the new Dacia Duster safer?
Hi,
I'd like to purchase a 2019 Dacia Duster petrol, but I am concerned about its EuroNCAP safety rating of 2017. I do not find the latest rating for 2019 version. Could you please advise?
Thanks

What's up with my Citroen's start-stop?
My Citroen C4 doesn’t start-stop when sitting still at the lights. The dash lamp goes green on the dash, but that’s it; what can I do?

Any reduction in motor tax with age?
I have a Mercedes C 200, which is now just over 20 years old and I only do 1,500 miles per year. Is there any reduction in motor tax due to age?

Thinking of buying a Jaguar X-Type...
Hello,
I'm interested in buying an X-Type Jaguar 2.0-litre diesel circa 2009 (facelift model). So far I've been hearing mostly good reviews, but was wondering are they expensive to maintain for servicing, parts etc. and if there's any electrical or diagnostic problems I could be fleeced for?

Can I retrofit Insignia fog lights?
Hello.
Is there a work around to install and have Vauxhall Insiginia SRI hatchback fog lights work with an SE model, which does not come with fog lights installed or a fog light button? The year 2010 to 2014.
