    Most likely there was an engine change that year or just before that year, you will need to find out what engine is in the one your going to import. Quickest way would be to contact seller and check the V5 document, it will have it there.

    safest bet is to quickly ring the seller and ask what is wrote on the log book, it will actually have the co2 emmissions on the V5.

    just incase you find the car you want go all the way over to find out its the higher rate.

    1. use car check site to check it out and make sure there is no financing left on it. I was 1 hour away from handing over money when i double checked and finance was owed even though i was told there wasnt.

    2. dont get tipped of by your bank. shop around your bank, currency.ie and xe

    3. get independent check with a mechanic. some of the bigger uk garages dont allow it but its a must
