Review: Land Rover Experience Start Off Road Junior 4x4 Driving (productReview)
Participants must be at least 11-years-old and 4ft 8in, plus a parent or guardian must be in attendance although they don’t have to ride in the vehicle during the drive. The experience is available at nine locations in England and Scotland with a broad choice of time slots, although the further ahead you book the greater choice you have. An added bonus is that it works whatever the weather - in fact, biblical rain can make it more exciting than in glorious sunshine. -

The famous Honda reliability is present in spades here, so the main thing to watch out for is damage done by previous owners - either through lack of maintenance or over-ethusiastic driving.

Used Buying Guide: Volkswagen Amarok 2011-2019 16 Jun 2025 (News)
Both engine choices at launch came with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, all coming with 4Motion four-wheel drive, it being selectable in all but a single Highline offering - where it’s a permanent four-wheel drive system. The selectable four-wheel drive system comes with a low-ratio gearbox. Within a year of its launch, the Amarok gained a boost in performance with the Bi-turbo seeing its output increase to 180PS. -
Peugeot Expert Used Guide 2007-2016 16 Jun 2025 (News)
The 2012 changes also saw Peugeot offer the Expert with ‘Grip Control,’ an optional extra that allows it to find traction in tricky situations via a sophisticated traction control system. With it the driver could select from four different drive modes - Sand, Snow, Mud and ESP. Not as effective as a four-wheel drive offering that some rivals can produce, but a useful add-on for those customers who might visit work sites, or live in remoter areas in winter. -
Review: Mio MiVue 688 dash camera (productReview)
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. The Fatigue Alert warns you to take a break if you've been driving for a while and can be set to remind you at two, three, or four hours. The Lane Departure Warning operates when you start drifting out of a lane on the motorway. In theory, the Eco Drive Indicator is a helpful tool to make your driving more economic. -

Top 10: Father's Day gifts for petrolheads 2016 (Article)
Dirt Rally (PS4/Xbox One/PC) - £40 Back in the 1990s the Colin McRae Rally series was about as authentic as virtual sideways muddy driving action got, but it lost its way in recent years. Its spiritual successor, Dirt Rally, fixes the shortcomings of more recent rally titles, with challenging handling and a huge range of modern and classic cars to drive. -

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. -

Along with the tyre squeal and that soundtrack. The box even came with a reference manual that explained exactly how rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive cars handle differently. And even detailed such esoteric concepts as the effect of weight transfer on cornering grip. The series has gone on to sell around 80m copies. -
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.
