• Review: Nextbase 322GW dash cam (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.27943078913324" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/311296d4afdc4f04ae694741211cced3" /> As well as the mount you get a 12V power cable. One thing to note is that if you have a car that doesn't have a 12V socket (they are being replaced by USB ports in many modern cars), you will have to get the camera hardwired. This isn't much of an issue as we recommend hardwiring dash cams, but it's something to bear in mind if you're buying a dash cam to use on a company or hire car for instance.

  Top 10: Cheapest Pressure Washers 2023 (Article)
  eBuzz Portable Pressure Washer You will struggle to find a pressure washer cheaper than this unless you threaten harm to your children’s cuddly toys in exchange for a clean car. The key downside with the eBuzz washer is that it's hand-powered, so you have to pump the handle to build the pressure. However, you could see that as a positive; with no need to plug it in you can carry it in your car and have up to 8-litres at 40psi of pressure wherever you go.

  Review: Thule Motion XT Sport roof box (productReview)
  But you needn't have to settle for an ugly square box on top of your car. As the Thule Motion XT proves. It suits the shape of our Tiguan well but crucially for us, it doesn't create too much wind sound. True, it's not silent - there will always be some noise - but on long motorway journeys we found it far quieter than roof boxes we've used in the past.

  Review: Aftershokz Aeropex (productReview)
  That's right, you get foam earplugs to block out external noise.

  Most approved used schemes will provide a minimum of 12 months' warranty, along with a 30 day money back promise if you're not 100 per cent satisfied. Others will sweeten the deal with longer warranty, breakdown cover, free insurance and a pledge to cover any potential costs incurred from the vehicle's next annual MoT.
• 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.

• JUMP STARTING: What is the correct way to jump start a car? (FAQs)
  Second, if the recipient car starts and the donor car is still running, we have a situation where both cars have alternators trying to maintain a charging voltage to the batteries that are connected together. Not good, again a potential for surge’s.

  In fact, turning a car over in the depths of winter can take as much as 80 per cent of the battery’s charge. And if your battery isn’t fully charged, then you don’t need to be Carol Vorderman to do the maths. For £65 (and a five-year warranty) we reckon this is a tough product to beat.

  Many companies offer a van history data check and we’d recommend using one, even if a used car seller says this has already been carried out. Better to spend a few pounds and be safe than sorry – and checks can be carried out online, via mobile phone or by apps on tablet PCs.

  Top 10: Portable BBQs for motorhomes, picnics and camping (Article)
  It’s not much more expensive than a pack of disposable BBQs and almost as light. It does require some assembly/disassembly each time that you want to use it unlike many of the others on this list, but it has a decent grill size and is an excellent alternative if you normally use disposables. If don’t need the portability of this one, you’re probably better off considering one of the other BBQs on this list.

  Used Pick-Up Buying Guide: Nissan Navara 2005-2016 16 Jun 2025 (News)
  With plenty sold you won’t be short of choice, and with many used as family cars rather than working vehicles even at this price point you can afford to be picky regarding condition. Those used commercially will inevitably have led a tougher life, but the Navara’s towing capability is a draw for many buyers, so ask what it’s towed if there’s a towbar fitted.

  In all price categories the most common body type is L2H1, benefiting from the longer loadspace, yet that useful low roof - which more than carpark access is handy if you want to add a rack on top for ladders etc. Spend £7000 and more and you’re in the realms of the newest, lowest mileage models, many coming from dealers and benefitting from warranties and a richer mix of body styles on offer here.
