HPI UPDATES CO2 INFORMATION 3 Jun 2009 (News)
· Sticking to the speed limit is proven to be good for the environment. · Heavy braking and energetic starting in traffic queues force the engine to use more fuel and therefore produce more CO2. Anticipate the flow of traffic. · Idling increases emissions by 13 % so avoid doing it if possible - switch off the engine if you know you'll be waiting more than a few minutes.
Lewis Hamilton picks an MBGL or the road. 20 Oct 2008 (News)
Every seat in the car is full-size, capable of taking an adult passenger – and the rear row folds electrically to increase luggage space to an impressive 2300 litres. The GL can tow up to 3500kg (braked; unbraked limit 750kg), and standard ESP® Trailer Stability Assist keeps things on the straight and narrow should the potentially dangerous "fishtailing" occur. Lewis concluded: "This is the second GL I’ve owned, and it’s a privilege to have a job where I get to drive such amazing cars all the time."

Snow and ice may have made a retreat at the moment, but salt on the roads is still lingering and although an essential part of winter road safety, many drivers aren't aware of the damage it can be doing to underside of cars, metal brake pipes, tyres and even air bags.

Entries include what appears to be a fabulous 1959 Mercedes 300SL with excellent history and four wheel disc brake conversion estimated at a conservative £100,000 - £120,000.

How To Check Out a New Car 27 Aug 2001 (News)
Select first gear and make sure it selects easily. Make sure there's not too much slack in the parking brake. Make sure the clutch takes up properly.

Used Pick-Up Buying Guide: Mitsubishi L200 Series 4 (2006-2015) 27 Nov 2019 (News)
. All are four-wheel drive, Mitsubishi very proud of its Super Select 4WD system, which allows the driver to select on the move up to 62mph. It features M-ASTC (Mitsubishi Active Stability and Traction Control) which brakes individual wheels and apportions torque to others to help maintain control. Not all L200s featured Mitsubishi’s sophisticated 4x4 system though, the 4Work and 4Life models have a simpler Easy Select 4WD which works in 2WD for the majority of the time, though can be shifted to 4WD on the move - again at up to 62mph.
