An added bonus is that it works whatever the weather - in fact, biblical rain can make it more exciting than in glorious sunshine.

  width=500&height=375" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/0046d2f264714f4fb6a06a69878bfc76" /> There’s a Headlight Reminder, which is especially helpful around this time of year when it gets dark earlier and driver's forget to put their lights on.

  Review: BikeStow Original bike rack (productReview)
  Setting it up took a matter of minutes, including securing it with the aforementioned straps, and we were soon using it to transport a range of bikes - from narrow-wheeled city bikes to gnarlier mountain bikes. It's surprisingly effective. Sure, there was a bit of trepidation during our first test drive with the fully loaded BikeStow, but the adjustable 'V' sliders do a superb job of holding the wheels in place. Even with some enthusiastic driving, the bikes remained securely in position in the back of the Transporter.

  Review: Roadhawk Vision dash camera (productReview)
  Recording quality is very good, with clear, crisp images even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. 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: Toro 56 cm PoweReverse ADS SmartStow lawnmower (productReview)
  It also has a two year 'full coverage' warranty which covers the cost of parts and labour. What's not so good is the AutoMatic Drive System and PoweReverse which we found hampered its manoeuvrability. In this respect, a standard self-propelled mower is still better in our opinion. On the plus side, it gives a neat finish, the grass bag is huge and the washout port means it's easy to keep clean.

  Review: Garmin Dash Cam Mini (productReview)
  At just 5cm long it's smaller than most car keys, which means it can sit pretty much unnoticed in your windscreen. There's no screen but it can be set up using the Garmin Drive app, which also lets you view, edit and download (or send) footage thanks to the built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. While it may be small, it still records in 1080p at 30fps and has a standard 140-degree lens.

  Review: Zero FXS 2017 (productReview)
  This limits torque and top speed to help make the battery last longer – plus you can configure a custom drive mode by pairing up a smartphone via Bluetooth, configuring your own torque and speed limiter parameters. You can also buy an option fast charger that reduces the charge time to 2-3 hours. On the practicality front, there’s not much to say.

  How to buy a used camper van (Article)
  If the dealer tries this, it’s because they want rid of a van they are finding hard to sell. Take a test drive that lasts around half an hour and drive on the type of roads you will normally use. An honest dealer will be happy to do this. If any faults show up during the test drive, ask about how they will be fixed.
