  Review: Zero SR/F (productReview)
  Our only gripe is the front end can tip into bends a little too readily at low speeds, so a little more counter steering was needed to offset this. When it comes to charging, the SR/F uses the same charging connection as most electric cars, so it’s quick and easy to hook up to a charging point. The connector is tucked under a flap on the tank, while another lockable lid opens to reveal a handing storage bin with a couple of USB points in there.

  Prioritise the ones that are urgent and will keep the car on the road. While it might be nice to get those bubbles of rust over the rear wheelarch sorted, it’s a slippery slope. That splendid wheelarch will only highlight the car’s other shortcomings.
• AIR-CONDITIONING: How do I know if my air conditioning needs servicing? (FAQs)
  Basically a/c takes 5 - 10bhp from the engine. So while it will affect the fuel economy of a car with 50bhp, the driver of a car with 500bhp won't notice it. And in fact, cruising at 70mph in a car with a relatively normal 110bhp, any increase in fuel consumed is insignificant. Opening the windows will have a far more detrimental effect because of the increased resistance the engine is forced to work against.

For classic cars, Thule's Review: Volkswagen T2 Danbury Camper (Article)
  The Volkswagen T2 was still imported in 2009 and converted to a camper by Danbury. That old pub car bore’s adage; ‘why did they ever stop making the ....?’ (insert name of favourite, long-defunct motor here) doesn’t apply to Volkswagen’s famous, rear-engined Type 2 ‘Bay Window’ van, because it still does.

  Ask to see the buyer's driving licence and insurance certificate, as it is your responsibility to ensure they are covered to drive your vehicle. Sometimes your own insurance policy will allow another driver to use your vehicle with your permission, but check with the policy provider if you are not sure. Prepare a short test drive route that gives the buyer a good idea of the van's handling characteristics.
