  Top 10: Gifts for camper van owners (Article)
  It can   be recharged by connecting it to a solar panel, plugging it into mains power or plugging it into your car's 12V socket (car charger included). There's also a helpful torch on the side of the unit, which can be put in flashing mode, too. Michelin Fit2Go Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) An aftermarket TPMS is a useful investment for those with older vehicles that don't offer in-built tyre pressure monitoring systems - as well for those who want to keep an eye on towed trailers, horseboxes or the like.

  Review: Disklok steering lock (productReview)
  width=500&height=332.9166666666667" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/2a0c2bad1f4541fc930b198cf4319950" /> Should I buy one? While it's not the most sleek solution to car security - nor the most modern - there's no denying that the Disklok is very effective, especially against opportunist car thieves or joy riders who won't want the hassle and will move onto another car. 
• AIR-CONDITIONING: How do I know if my air conditioning needs servicing? (FAQs)
  The liquid then becomes low pressure and subsequently the temperature falls considerably. The low pressure cold liquid passes into the evaporator which is inside the car. Heat from inside the car is drawn to the cold evaporator which then causes the low pressure liquid to evaporate into a low pressure gas, which in turn is drawn back to the compressor where the whole process starts over again.

  Review: Vantrue OnDash N1 Pro dash cam (productReview)
  There's also no WiFi so the only way to view footage and transfer it is via a PC or Mac using the micro SD card. Other features include a 24-hour parking mode, although you need to hardwire it to the car battery for this to work, collision detection when turned off, a G-sensor which will automatically save and lock any footage following a collision or any sudden movements, such as swerving or hard braking.

  Top 10: Best sat navs with dash cams (Article)
  It’s a rear-view mirror that you clamp over your existing flat mirror and, integrated into it, is a five-inch display and lots of hardware – including a front and rear-facing dash cam and a GPS receiver. It uses Android, so you can use the supplied navigation app or Google maps. It’s not particularly intuitive, and some report issues, but it’s certainly interesting.

  Review: AUKEY DR01 dash camera (productReview)
  The DR01 dash cam is a relatively new product by AUKEY, a technology company who are known mostly for designing in-car chargers. Retailing at £69.99, the DR01 could definitely be considered a cheap alternative, targeting buyers at the budget end of the dash cam market. Does it have the video quality of the Roadhawk HD-2 or the extra driver safety features of the Mio MiVue 688 ?

  Review: Michelin tailored car mats (productReview)
  width=599&height=399&mode=max" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/2531c4db917d4ee2b41bedcb3ade1263" /> Should I buy them? There's no shortage of car mats around from various suppliers, but the Michelin car mats stand out as something that's a cut above the usual. As well as the recognition of the brand name, they genuinely feel like high quality tailored car mats.
• STORING A CAR: How should I prepare my car for long term storage? (FAQs)
  Make sure the coolant corrosion inhibitors have not degraded (they usually have after 3 - 4 years, so have the coolant changed). If the car has ABS, make sure the brake fluid has been changed within the past two years or the ABS pump could suffer internal corrosion from moisture absorbed by the fluid. Clean and polish the car. Take it for a reasonable length dry run to thorougly heat through all systems and evaporate off any condensation.

  Review: Azdome GS63H (productReview)
  It automatically protects this clip too, although when we tested this, we found it needed a considerable amount of movement for it to switch on. A minor 'nudge' from another car wouldn't necessarily see it switch on and record.

  There is however a much improved magnetic mount, plus either both an adhesive or suction mount included, giving you the choice of how to attach it your windscreen. The Intelligent Parking Mode switches on automatically when the car ignition is turned off and will record for three minutes if the G sensor  registers any movement. >> Read our full review Garmin Mini The Garmin Mini captures 1080p HD footage with a 140-degree lens in a dash camera about as small as a car key.

  Review: Sealey Portable Charcoal BBQ (productReview)
  When you’ve finished cooking (and the BBQ has cooled down) you can lift the supplied cooking trays out and tip out the ash and spent coals. Once emptied, the Sealey BBQ can be closed securely with its fastening lid and stored neatly in a car or camper. Just make sure the BBQ has completely cooled before putting it in your vehicle, otherwise your next cooking experience will be in the car park…

  Review: Aprilia SX125 (productReview)
  Aprilia doesn’t do half measures, which is why the SX125 has the look of a bigger bike rather than being scaled down just because it has a 125cc engine. Take a look at those inverted front forks, which are unadjustable to keep the price low, and the big 300mm single front disc brake that comes with ABS anti-locking. At the back, there’s a 220mm disc that isn’t linked to the front and doesn’t have ABS, so you can still lock up the rear to impress your mates outside the chippy.

  Review: Yamaha MT-09 (productReview)
  As a result, the Yamaha has gained something of a following among those who like to pull wheelies as the front end is more than happy to oblige this sort of behaviour. Fortunately, it’s all very easily controlled and there’s a choice of three choices for the D-Mode riding settings that affect how the traction control intervenes.

  Review: YI Ultra Dashcam (productReview)
  It’s easy to hook the app up to the dashcam itself, almost all the functions can be controlled through your phone and you can view the clips in high quality and with smooth playback with just a few taps of the screen. The voice control works well too, although this will depend on how noisy the inside of your car is. The images that the YI Ultra Dashcam produces are excellent. In the full 1520p mode the details are sharp and easy to pick out, and even the most basic 720p mode the standard is more than acceptable.

  Review: Ring RBGDC200 dash camera (productReview)
  When it receives power it switches on and starts recording, then switches off again when power is cut. In most cars, that means all you need to do is plug in once and forget about the camera and leave it to do its job. That said, some models have constant power through their 12V outlet, even when the ignition is off, so check first.
