  Review: Thule 991 RaceWay 2 bicycle carrier (productReview)

  Review: Gurston Down Hill Climb Driving School experience (productReview)
  Others there had different reasons for attending; an 82-year-old lady was just there to have some fun, a Ferrari owner was putting his car through its paces, a Morgan owner was practising before attempting his first Hillclimb, a couple of regular track day enthusiasts testing their skill and their cars and one keen marshal who had won the day as a prize.
• OIL CHANGES: How often should I change the oil in my car? (FAQs)
  Change the brake fluid every 2 years unless it is Dot 5 silicon brake fluid (unlikely on a mass-produced car). If the engine has a timing belt, change that every 4 years or every 40,000 miles, whichever comes first, unless the engine has no history of premature timing belt failures (Ford Zetec E and Zetec S engine timing belts generally exceed their design life of 80,000 miles, so can be changed at 6 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first.)

  Review: Ring RTC200 tyre inflator (productReview)
  Like most simple tyre inflators, there's no set up required with the RTC200; it's simply a case of plugging the 12v end into your car's cigarette lighter and attaching the compressor nozzle to the tyre's valve. Turn your car on and hey presto, you're ready to go. The Ring RTC200 inflates a 13-inch tyre from flat to 35PSI in less than 4.5 minutes.

  Top 10: Best car child seats 2023 (Article)
  The seat also comes with the baby-hugger newborn inlay, which is really well cushioned. As a standalone car seat, the Pebble Plus is at the upper end of the Group 0+ market, so it really depends if you plan to move onto the 2wayPearl car seat. Joie i-Level Many baby seats clip onto a travel system, making them handy for when you are out and about and don’t have room to take a full pram with you.

  Top 10: Best car seats from Joie (Article)
  It is a rear-facing seat suitable for children from birth to 13kg, and more importantly, it can be fitted directly with the car’s three-point belt or with Isofix when you add a suitable base, making it a good choice when your baby will travel in different cars. It also works with Joie strollers, which is a big help in those early months.

  Uneven wear may be due to incorrect alignment settings, or it may be due to bent suspension components from kerbs, pot holes or road humps. So be particularly wary of uneven front tyre wear. Check the interior Now on to the interior. Dirt cleans off, but tears in the seats and broken bits of trim are notoriously difficult and expensive to put right.

The Nano retails at about £50 on Amazon.

  Review: Gecko Pad (productReview)
  It will still stick to the textured or soft-touch plastics in a car but if they are heavily curved a phone is unlikely to remain in place for too long, so find somewhere fairly flat. Once you have then you shouldn’t have to worry until you arrive – it’ll even stick things upside down.
