  Cheap van insurance for couriers and delivery drivers explained (Article)
  Insuring a van isn’t as straightforward as it is with a car. For starters, the vehicles are almost always used for business purposes, which adds an additional consideration to the policy, and if you’re using the van in a courier capacity to deliver products then you have to get a special kind of cover.

  Review: Snuggly Rascals kids headphones (productReview)
  For younger children they're ideal and the cute design will certainly appeal, although we imagine older kids will want something a bit more 'grown-up' and stylish such as Skullcandy. For many parents, £15 is a small price to pay for a bit of peace and quiet, especially on long car or plane journeys. You may even begin to miss hearing the theme tune to Postman Pat...

  Review: Sealey PW2200 Pressure Washer (productReview)
  The nozzles can be adjusted to give gentler pressure, but even so, you’re going to need to be careful if you’re washing a car with rust or paint defects - this machine is likely to strip it away. The Sealey PW2200 performed admirably, removing accumulated dirt, dust and what we euphemistically refer to as bird lime.

  But it's essentially anything you don't want to lose or you're worried about going stray. Your luggage, digital cameras, backpacks, laptops or car. According to Tile's website, some customers even use the waterproof models - like the Tile Style - to track their tortoise, which has a habit of getting lost in the garden.

• RUNNING-IN A PETROL ENGINE: What's the best way to run-in a petrol engine? (FAQs)
  Don't change the oil and filter until the first manufacturer recommended change point, or the end of the first year. After that, if you intend keeping the car for a long time I still recommend more frequent oil and filter changes than the manufacturers or their on-board service indicators suggest. It's also a good idea to have the transmission oil changed after the first year to get rid of any swarf which could later be ground up into tiny particles which eventually get into the bearings and accelerate wear.
• CONTINUOUS INSURANCE: What is it and how does it affect me? (FAQs)
  Continuous Insurance becomes compulsory from June 2011. It compels the owner to insure his car continuously even if it is temporarily unused. The new vehicle insurance law means that the registered keeper of a vehicle must keep it insured unless they've made a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification).

  Classic owners face introduction of higher ethanol fuel by end of 2019 (Article)
  Petrol stations will have to display new labels to show motorists how much biofuel and ethanol is in their petrol and diesel as fears mount the Government is paving the way to introduce E10 fuel – a blend that is potentially dangerous for classic cars. From September, forecourt pumps will have to display signs for standard unleaded as E5 (5% ethanol) and diesel as B7 (7% biodiesel). Although no official statement has been made, the move paves the way for E10 to be introduced by the end of the year.

  Top 10: Learner legal commuter bikes and scooters (Article)
  Honda Vision 50 - £1999 For the most part we wouldn’t recommend a 50cc scooter – they’re too slow for safe riding anywhere except in 30mph zones. However, if you have a full car licence then you can validate a full, L-plate free scooter entitlement for bikes up to 50cc by completing a CBT. It will then last for as long as your full car licence. So if you’re not planning on repeating your CBT every couple of years to stay on a 125, or if you’re not planning on gaining a full motorcycle licence, a 50cc is the only choice.

  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.

  City Passenger Train A strong nod towards the High Speed Train that turned 40 last year, this City Passenger Train set has a fun mix of classic Lego City design with modern tech, most notably the 10-speed Bluetooth remote control that you can operate from your smartphone. There are two passenger cars plus a power car, with the former having removable roofs so you can interact with the cafe and included passengers. There is also a buildable platform and four minifigures within the 677 piece set.
