  Review: Mio MiVue C570 (productReview)
  When it comes to dash cameras, there are generally two types of buyers; those that are willing to pay a premium for quality and extra features, and those that want an affordable, bog-standard cam that'll record their drives clearly. Unfortunately for Mio, it's dash cam sometimes fall outside of both these categories - producing expensive dash cams that don't offer the same level of footage quality or features as rivals.

  Review: Philips VoiceTracer DVT2710 (productReview)
  , there’s no obvious place to get a software download online. Once we got onto a Windows PC with a CD-drive, the software crashed a few times. Once it finally loaded, we went through about 15 minutes of steps, including having to print off a ten-page section of our chosen literature from Philips' list (we opted for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).

  Review: Z-Edge Z3 Plus dashcam (productReview)
  There's a useful Quick Start guide which shows you which are best settings depending on what kind of driving you're doing, whether it be the daily commute, a road trip or want continuous recording. Once plugged in, the Z3 Plus happily goes about its business and starts recording as soon as you turn the ignition on.

  Review: Navdy head-up display (productReview)
  It’s a truly impressive bit of equipment that works brilliantly and brings a wealth of features directly into your eyeline when driving. And it's regularly updated, with new features coming in frequent over-the-air software patches. There is a lot to take in when using Navdy, though - so while it promises to minimise distraction and keep your eyes on the road, it can do the exact opposite at first.

  How to value your classic car for insurance purposes (Article)
  Every insurer is has a different policy. We’ve seen agreed policies offered to 17-year-old first drive drivers and policies where you have to be over 30. How do I get an agree value policy on my classic? As you’d expect, there are a few hoops to jump through in terms of getting the car valued.

  Best classic car insurance for imported vehicles from Japan, America (Article)
  Joining the relevant car club is a good idea with any classic, not just an imported one – it tells the insurer you’re serious about owning, driving, and enjoying your car. You can also go for a limited mileage policy. This might curtail your dreams of commuting every day in the summer but, realistically, most classics are second cars and few do more than 3000 miles a year.

  Review: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
  I initially wasn't sure if a five metre cable would be long enough given the various EVs I test, but it's surprisingly flexible cable and I've managed to hook it up to every EV that's been on the drive with no fuss. You can lock the unit - as we have - so you have to approve each plug-in via the app. It means no one can randomly just charge their car while you're out.  For us, the fact the Home Pro comes with the backing of Ohme is another plus.

  Review: Thule Epos towbar bike rack (productReview)
  You can then easily open and close the boot before pushing the rack back in place - there's a reassuring click so you know it's locked in place and isn't going to fly backwards as you pull off your drive.  Should I buy one?

  Review: Cybex Cloud Z i-size infant carrier (productReview)
  Fortunately, it lived up to expectations. After two months of use, the seat remained as comfortable as ever. On long haul drives - in excess of six hours - this seat does not disappoint with the baby sleeping through the night as if it was his own bed. The canopy offers protection from harmful rays (SPF50+) and helps to induce sleep and a relaxing car journey.

  Review: Michelin Fit2Go Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (productReview)
  The solar-powered receiver displays the exact tyre pressures in psi or bar and has an adhesive backing to fit onto the vehicle's dashboard or windscreen. We chose to place it at the top of our windscreen so that we could easily see it while driving but it also wouldn't distract us. The screen is angled, so you need to be careful about where you place it - especially as reflective glare will make it impossible to see the TPMS readings.

  Top 10: Best air compressors 2023 (Article)
  Sealey 3hp 100-litre Air Compressor This Sealey compressor is a more affordable alternative to the Wolf compressor. It has a powerful 3hp motor which drives a two-cylinder compressor directly, so there are no belts to snap. A 100-litre tank should ensure that the compressor doesn’t have to run continuously, while a sensible 8.8 CFM air delivery rating means it should cope with light-duty spray jobs.

  Review: Honda CB1000R (productReview)
  It sounds great once the motor is spinning past 5500rpm thanks to the sort of growl you want from a big naked machine like this. Varying the throttle input is perfectly smooth thanks to the drive-by-wire system that Honda has ironed out any kinks from. Mix that with the Assist/Slipper Clutch and you can make rapid changes to keep the engine howling or potter smoothly.

  Top 10: Best petrol lawnmowers 2023 (Article)
  Like other basic mowers, there’s no throttle; you simply pull the cord, engage drive and off you go. A two-year warranty is also standard, granting peace of mind. It is heavier than some rivals, that said. Flymo XL500 160cc 50.5cm Hover Mower Tackling steep slopes and rough terrain can be tricky for conventional mowers.
