  Dash Camera under £100 shortlist (Article)
  However, the MiVue C330 features a dated Mini-USB port, a connector that isn't commonly used anymore. It comes with a moulded 12v socket on the lead, too, so if you want to use this with a dual USB adaptor (allowing you to charge something else from your 12v socket) you'll more than likely have to buy another lead unless you have one knocking about the house.

  Review: YI Smart dash cam (productReview)
  It's a neat looking thing too, and a lot less intrusive or bulky than many other dashcams. The power lead goes in the right-hand side, the MicroSD card in the left - and you're ready to go.  Like most dash cams, the YI is designed to be something you can forget about. It will turn on when you switch on the ignition and start recording immediately.
• RUNNING IN A DIESEL: What's the best way to run-in a diesel engine? (FAQs)
  However, this does not always work and the extra fuel can instead find its way into the engine sump, contaminating the lube oil and sometimes leading to such a rise in sump oil level that the engine can start to run uncontrollably on its sump oil and will self-destruct. Peugeot/Citroen/Ford diesel engines don't need to get quite as hot as diesels in other makes because they use an additive to help regenerate the DPF.

• Cheap car insurance for modern classics (Article)
  Sure, it didn’t stop younger enthusiasts enjoying cars from the 1970s but the fact they were classified as historic or gifted a tax break became a divisive issue and lead to the creation of so-called ‘modern classics’ and 'youngtimers' factions. Nowadays, the classic tax break has been reintroduced – although rolling at 40 years. Which means only now are cars from the late 1970s ‘officially’ considered classics.

  Review: Campingaz Powerbox Plus 28L electric cooler (productReview)
  The cooler can also be plugged into the mains, which means you can chill the box before loading it up and putting it in the back of your camper or car. However, a mains power lead isn't included with the box, which means you'll have to buy one if you want to charge it via a three pin plug socket.  ELECTRIC CARS: Is an EV right for me?

  Review: Ring RAC 610 analogue air compressor (productReview)
  Plugging it in and connecting it to your car’s tyre valve is very easy and intuitive, although you might miss that torch function of the 635 if you’re attempting to do it on the side of a dark road. The three-metre power lead unwinds easily and is long enough for most purposes. MISFUELLING A CAR: What should you do if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in your car?  (FAQs)

  Review: Ring RBGDC200 dash camera (productReview)
  The power cord is long enough to route out of sight and hide away, while the camera is discreet enough to fit behind the rear-view mirror. That said, the power lead itself has an old fashioned DC connection at the camera end, instead of the usual Mini- or Micro-USB connector. That means finding a hard-wire kit is difficult. Once installed the dash camera works like any other.

  The quick release system means you can leave the suction mount in place in the screen, hooked up to the power lead.

  How to buy a classic car (Article)
  If the concentration is allowed to drop this will lead to corrosion of the aluminium leading to the coolant waterways getting clogged up – and that includes the radiator. Leave the engine ticking over and make sure it doesn't overheat. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge and once the engine is hot see if the thermostatic electric fan cuts in if one is fitted.
• Review: Nextbase 322GW dash cam (productReview)
  But with the Series 2 range, Nextbase has addressed this with a new mount which is excellent. The power lead goes to the mount rather than the dash cam and with one ball type adjustor, it's easy to get the camera in the right place without having to adjust various tighteners. The clever bit is the magnetic connector which means you can easily take off the camera without having to remove the mount.
