  Review: Honda Miimo robotic lawn mower (productReview)
  Miimo squares up incredibly well on price here, as even Honda's base-model ride-on will set you back upwards of £3000, and that's before you even consider the fuel and servicing costs. During the mowing season, it wouldn’t be unusual to spend £60-£70 on fuel, plus £250-£300 on a service, whereas Miimo can charge itself again and again all year long for around £15 and requires next to no maintenance.

  And the Vision 50 is probably the best of the lot, with a great record for reliability and incredible fuel economy.  Honda CB125F - £2,699 Another Honda with a tremendous reliability record is the CB series, which has been called CB125, CBF125 and now CB125F. Plenty of 1990s examples are still kicking around, despite having been abused by dozens of learner owners.

  Used Pick-Up Buying Guide: Nissan Navara 2005-2016 16 Jun 2025 (News)
  If the halfshafts do go, it an inevitability, then you’re looking at about £200 a side to repair. The fuel rail pressure valve can fail, if it does so it’ll be in the region of £1000 to repair, as the inlet manifold requires removing for the repair to be done correctly. Front wheel bearing hubs and anti-roll bar links are all known to wear quickly.

  Top 10: Best used scooters (Article)
  It’s a blast to ride on country lanes, it takes on motorways with pleasure and it’s agile in town. You even get decent fuel economy of 58mph to offer a range of more than 200 miles. You’ll be happy to cover those miles thanks to top-drawer comfort for rider and pillion, while a massive storage compartment under the seat can craftily be extended to pack in even more luggage.
• What is the cheapest Classic Car Insurance for a Mk1 Volkswagen Golf GTI (Article)
  It was created by combining the Audi 80 GTE's engine with the lightweight three-door Golf bodyshell - and originally conceived as a low volume limited edition. The car that first earned the term ‘hot hatch’ used a Bosch fuel injection 1588cc engine to pump 110bhp through its front wheels and the tight and nimble handling meant all this could be used to the max. Can I get it on a classic policy? Mk1 (and Mk2) Golf GTIs are considered a classic by most insurers.

  Review: Honda CB125R (2018) (productReview)
  For us, the front brake is also a bit of a stretch, a span adjuster would be a useful addition but you probably don't need to worry about that unless you're a female rider or have small hands. The back end is tall and there's a sculpted fuel tank that's larger than the ones on most other 125s. The result is that riders should feel more secure sitting on the CB125R because it feels like you're more tucked into it.

  A reduction in rolling resistance ( the energy lost when a tyre is moving) also means the AllSeasonContact are very fuel efficient.  The AllSeasonContact are available in 14 to 20-inch sizes.

  Top 10: Scooters 2020 (Article)
  Strong brakes, suspension that isolates most bumps and decent handling all add up to a scooter that’s fun and comfortable. It also has a 13-litre fuel tank to make longer trips achievable. It’s hard to fault the Lexmoto for what it costs, but it’s also hard to criticise it full stop. Great value and good to ride makes it easy to like.
• NITROGEN IN CAR TYRES: What's the point of filling car tyres with Nitrogen? (FAQs)
  It is true to say that regular tyre maintenance negates the need for Nitrogen inflation but unfortunately, a huge majority of motorists don’t do this resulting in under inflation. Under inflated tyres create drag which increases tread wear, fuel costs and the risk of punctures as well as having a significant effect on a car’s performance both in handling and cost. By having your tyres inflated with nitrogen this produces a stable inflation mixture, as can be seen in the diagram attached, that has improved pressure retention properties that will ensure tyres remain fully inflated for longer.

  125cc Scooter of the Year shortlist (Article)
  Best of all, it’s an affordable scooter you can use and revel in all-year round. Running costs are very affordable thanks to a claimed average fuel economy of 133.9mpg, which we found was closer to 110mpg in the real world. That means a realistic range of around 170 miles per tank. You can also stash a large crash helmet under the flip-up seat of the PCX and still have a little room left over for a small amount of shopping.

  125cc Motorcycle of the Year shortlist (Article)
  It’s not the cheapest 125cc bike you can buy, nor is it the most practical compared to some scooters with masses of storage. However, there are keen lease deals on offer and 189mpg combined fuel economy, plus a 200-mile-plus tank range. Being a Honda, it will also be  relentlessly reliable, easy to live with, cheap to service and carry on working when most other 125cc machines will have expired in a puff of smoke.

  Review: Disklok steering lock (productReview)
  The carry case is handy for this, but in an empty boot, it still tends to slid around all over the place. Plus of course it's taking up a considerable amount of space and the weight won't do your fuel economy any favours. Should I buy one?

  Review: KTM 125 Duke (productReview)
  Weight, then, is a key issue - and the Duke tips the scales at 137kg. Add in the extra heft of its now larger fuel tank with an extra 2.4-litre capacity over the old model and it’s not the most svelte in its class. No matter, the Duke’s gearing remains the same as before, so top speed is around 75mph depending on how much you ate while standing around with your mates before sloping off to double geography after lunch.
• Review: Honda Vision 110 (productReview)
  It’s also no more costly to insure the 110 and it holds it value better as more riders will want to take it off your hands when you sell. Throw in real-world fuel economy of 120mpg and a 150-mile range and it’s a sound bet for un-fancy city riding.

  Review: Honda CMX 500 Rebel 2017 (productReview)
  Instrumentation is very minimal. There’s a single pod containing a digital speedometer, a fuel gauge and a clock, but there is no rev counter. The switchgear is minimal too, with no selectable modes ore fancy menus to scroll through – you get what you need and nothing more. There are some odd quirks too, like separate ignition and steering lock barrels.

  Cheap van tyre buying advice (Article)
  Overinflated tyres will have an adverse impact on the vehicle’s handling and increase wear, while underinflated tyres requires more effort to keep rolling, which in turn uses more fuel. Check the owner's manual to identify the correct tyre pressures. They will also be shown on a plate or sticker on the van, inside the door or by the fuel cap. They will usually be shown in PSI and then (BAR) in brackets.

  If it splutters or goes to reduced power limp home mode then it could be the fuel injectors. They’re known to fail, and expensive to fix. Ask if they’ve ever been replaced. The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves are a known weak point, it’ll go to low power mode if they’re failing.
