• CONSUMER RIGHTS: How do I reject a vehicle or get compensation for problems with a car? (FAQs)
  Now they do. Some car brokers get big discounts on cars by pretending to the manufacturer that they are fleet purchases, so the manufacturer insists the car is first registered to a fleet. You can buy one of these cars and take it home, but you won’t get the registration document for maybe 6 months and when you do you find you’re the second owner.

  Review: RAC Advanced Mesh Dog Guard (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/20df80a2273b4755b09e5eb5b8936b49" /> Should I buy one? The RAC Dog Guard is easy to install and does indeed fit many different cars. It's ideal if needing to use in more than one car, or for occasional use. Plus it's lightweight, easy to install and doesn’t take up much room if stored. There are cheaper universal guards on the market, but the RAC is more adaptable and a better fit for the three cars we tested it in.

  Van signwriting explained (Article)
  Companies pay good money to have a van with a billboard attached just to get their message across, so it makes good sense to put some advertising on your van too.

However small your advertising budget might be (even if it is zero) getting your van sign-written can be a very cost-effective means of generating some additional brand awareness to the wider public.
• MISFUELLING A CAR: What should you do if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in your car?  (FAQs)
  Information kindly supplied by  https://www.fuelfixer.co.uk/ About a third of a million UK drivers every year put the wrong fuel in their cars. Petrol in diesel cars, diesel in petrol cars (despite the diesel nozzle being too wide to fit a petrol filler) and, more recently, AdBlue in the diesel tank. Older engines could cope with a small amount of this abuse, but one price of efficient modern engines is less tolerance for what goes in the tank.

  FSO Cars 125P (1967 - 1991) (Classics Reviews)
  The car was crude even by the standards of 1975, which is a shame, as it bore more than a passing resemblance to the Fiat 125 , a very fine car indeed. But in order to become a Polski-Fiat, the 125 received new running gear based on that of the Fiat 1300/1500 - and that meant the tragic loss of the donor car's wonderful twin-cam engine line-up.

  Review: Britax Römer Dualfix i-size (productReview)
  The sheer size of the seat means it is worth checking the dimensions against the space available in your car – it fitted well enough in a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan and a larger people carrier, but it might be tight in smaller cars. This is the case with many seats, though. If you don’t need to swap it between different cars on a regular basis then this is a fantastically user-friendly seat that is comfy for little ones.

    Headlight beam adaptors Another of the summer-themed products that has been popular over August is headlight beam adaptors.

  Aside from that, you can set up alerts if the tracker moves or travels beyond a certain speed. If you want to track a car, you’ll need to buy the optional magnetic case to make it fully waterproof and stick it in the wheel arch. The case costs about £25. Or for a fiver less you could buy an official car hardwire kit. That’ll also prevent the battery from running out.

  Review: Red Letter Days - Superhero Car Thrill Batmobile (productReview)
  Depending on your age and where your loyalties lie in the DC universe, this will either be the opportunity of a lifetime or a distant second to The Dark Knight-era vehicle, but as far as TV cars go there are few that are so instantly recognizable. The information clearly states that the car you get to drive is a replica; only five original cars were made back in the 1960s and currently reside in the US, and the car that most heavily featured in the show last sold for over 5 million dollars.
