  Review: Gecko Pad (productReview)
  A wash in warm soapy water removes any grime or fluff and restores the pad to its best, though a smart place to dry it is important – if you dry it flat on the kitchen counter it’ll want to stay there and you’ll get it grimy again peeling it off. It’s better left in a plate drying rack. We’ve been using the same Gecko Pad for around four months and though it does need semi-regular washing it is still as sticky now as it was when it was new – and it hasn’t left any of its residue behind on phones, cars or hands.

  Sadly, it’s quite expensive compared to smaller scooters. Vespa Primavera ABS - £3571 Style is just as important to many urban scooter riders as practicality – and they don’t come much more stylish than a Vespa. The range actually includes a few different designs, including scooters with powerful 300cc engines.

  Review: Green and Blue Bee Bricks & Blocks (productReview)
  With reports of declining numbers and collapsing populations in recent years, giving these bees a helping hand has become increasingly more important. The Bee Brick is long and slim and - as the name would suggest - designed to replace a brick in a wall.

  Review: Nextbase 512G dash cam (productReview)
  This allows it to capture both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously. This is perhaps the most important feature of a dash camera – if the sky is particularly bright it’s quite possible for footage of the road ahead to come out very dark, while at night the glare from headlights will often obscure the number plates of cars in front.
• MoT Test Results and MoT Advice (Article)
  Although the MoT test is the only legal requirement, it's also fairly basic. The MoT doesn't investigate a number of important, internal components - like the transmission and engine.

  Review: Buckle & Seam Ralph Business Portfolio (productReview)
  Buckle & Seam’s pricing compares well to other firms offering similar high-end products, so if the brand name isn’t important to you then the ethical element may well be the clincher. That said, despite being well-made, useful and smart-looking when you want to impress in meetings — the £162 price tag is likely to be off-putting for many.

  Review: RAC Advanced Mesh Dog Guard (productReview)
  Only a car specific guard would avoid this, like the Travall dog guard . So while the rattle is a bit annoying, its more important that I can use it in a variety of cars and remove it easily. Another benefit is that the parcel shelf in the Skoda Octavia can still fit into place with the guard installed. I have tried other universal guards and the parcel shelf will not fit.

  Review: Roadhawk Vision dash camera (productReview)
  High dynamic range recording means the camera can record clearly even when driving into sunlight, with all important details visible in freeze-frame. That said, there is no GPS sensor on the Vision, so it can’t record location data or speed information, nor can it automatically set its date and time via satellite.

  Review: Nextbase 312GW dash cam (productReview)
  Navigating through settings menus is straightforward, but the red emergency button, for saving interesting or important clips, is quite small so might be fiddly when on the move. The quick release system means you can leave the suction mount in place in the screen, hooked up to the power lead. When you leave the car the body of the camera can be removed, then slotted back in place when you want to get back on the road, with no need to adjust camera angles or fiddle around with wires.

  Review: Abee M7 dash camera (productReview)
  There is no GPS functionality, however. This would record the location and speed of the vehicle accurately, which can be important to prove excess speed wasn’t a factor in any accident. That said, the Abee M7 is a fairly cheap camera. For the price it’s hard to complain. We have embedded a sample clip from the camera below, but YouTube compresses video so the raw footage is actually clearer.
• Does MoneySupermarket offer classic car insurance? (Article)
  As MoneySupermarket compares a variety of insurance providers the definition of a classic is likely to vary between them, but anything that is made before 2000 is now likely to qualify comfortably. What is likely of greater importance is that you ensure the usual classic car policy usage is applied to your quote; that means an annual mileage of under 5,000, use as a second car and secure overnight parking.

• Does Confused.com offer classic car insurance? (Article)
  As a price comparison broker rather than an insurer themselves, Confused.com makes it clear that if you get a quote through them some of the responses will be from insurers just offering a standard policy, while others will offer a classic policy where an agreed rather than market value is paid out. So if you do choose to go down this route it is important to make direct contact with the insurers and ask about an agreed value before you proceed. What kind of car qualifies as a classic? The definition of a classic car will depend on the individual insurer providing the quote rather than Confused.com, but vehicles that are 30 years old or more are highly likely to qualify.

It is worth bearing in mind however that it is important to go through the details with your insurer before signing on the dotted line to go through the specifics, especially when it comes to factors such as agreed values which may affect your premium.
