  • Review: Monojoy keyless car key signal blocker (productReview)
    This allows them entry into the car, where they can use the start-stop button to start the car without the key. The key also doesn't need to be present within the car for it to continue running - so they can keep driving as long as the ignition isn't turned off at any point. If you don't want to put your faith in physical solutions like the  Disklok steering lock, then Faraday bags are a good preventative measure.
  • Review: How To Be A Motoring Journalist by Roy Lanchester (productReview)
    Porter was the script editor for Clarkson’s Top Gear (and now for The Grand Tour) and, among other things, runs the Sniff Petrol website – a satirical motoring website whose contributors (allegedly) have included Clarkson and James May. It's The Daily Mash but with cars, if you like. Lanchester is one of its most popular characters.
  • Review: Tile Sport and Style review (productReview)
    Lose your phone and your Tile can make your phone bleep back at you. Lose both and you can call upon your fellow Tile users to help you find it - every running Tile app tracks Tiles around it, so with a bit of luck some good soul can help you find it again. What's it like? Tile Sport and Style are the ‘Pro’ offerings in the range, which means they get a higher spec.
  • Review: Mio MiVue 792 Wifi Pro (productReview)
    Beyond that, it is a simple case of plugging in, sticking the suction cup onto the windscreen and setting off. The top located charging socket is conveniently positioned for running the cable around the screen. Should you come across any major incidents, the in-built GPS system should automatically protect your footage.
  • Review: Anker Roav dash cam (productReview)
    The Roav uses a high-quality Sony image sensor, so images and still frames are clear, meaning important details about other cars or location are easy to make out. That’s the case even if you run the camera in its lower 720p resolution. A 720p sample is embedded below. Should I buy one?
  • Used Pick-Up Buying Guide: Nissan Navara 2005-2016 16 Jun 2025 (News)
    What to watch   The timing chain is a serious problem with the Navara, so don’t ignore any rough running or rattling under the bonnet. Doing so could result in you needing a complete engine rebuild or all-new engine. Halfshafts are another area of high wear, it’s not uncommon for the Navara to go through many sets in its life.
  • Classic car insurance for 17, 18, 19, 20 & 25 year olds (Article)
    But with young drivers facing four-figure premiums for insuring a modern car, what chance have they got of being able to run a classic? Thankfully, insurers are starting to offer bespoke insurance policies for younger drivers that don't cost the earth. What is classic car insurance for younger drivers? It means enthusiasts between 18 and 24 can get insured on a vehicle that’s more than 20 years of age.
  • Review: Canyon Grail CF SLX 8 AXS (productReview)
    These are a lightweight and highly capable all-rounder that have been set-up tubeless, while the hookless design brings a bit more aero also means you can run lower tyre pressures. Speaking of tyres, these are Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC gravel racing tyres (40mm width) - expect low rolling resistance and puncture protection. Finally there's the Fizik Vento Argo X3 saddle, with a carbon-reinforced shell.   
  • Review: Honda Versatool (productReview)
    The Versatool also has a six-splined transmission shaft, which maximises torque and drives lots of power to each tool you use. Essentially, that means the Versatool should last a very long time. If you run into any trouble, there's a five-year warranty for domestic use too. That warranty is reduced to one year for professional use. As for how we got along with the Versatool, the cultivator was excellent.
  • Top 10: Gifts for petrolheads (Article)
    How To Be A Motoring Journalist book Richard Porter’s tale of fictional motoring journalist and bombastic curmudgeon Roy Lanchester is part autobiographically and serves partially as an educational toolkit. Porter was the script editor for Clarkson’s Top Gear and, among other things, runs the Sniff Petrol website – a satirical motoring website. The particularities of motoring journalism itself are impressively realistic and well observed though, albeit they're fed into a Spinal Tap machine.
  • Review: Blitzwolf BW-ANC1 headphones (productReview)
    But because these headphones don't offer an aux option, we have to opt for listening to music through Spotify on a phone rather than a PC - which means our iPhone keeps running low on battery. The audio quality of Bluetooth-only headsets is also slightly lower than those that offer an aux connection, but if you listen to music through Bluetooth most of the time then this won't really matter to you.
  • Review: FenSens Smart Wireless Parking Sensor (productReview)
    You then need to wait one minute before you can try pairing the device again. On iOS, the app works better if the app is left running in the background - according to the user manual, that is. Your location setting needs to be turned to 'Always On' and push notifications need to be on for the app to work correctly. The idea is that you hit the tap button fitted to the steering wheel and the FenSens app sensor screen opens.
  • Top 10: 125cc bikes with manual transmissions (Article)
    Honda Wave 110i – £1999 There is no clutch lever on the Wave – it has a semi-auto transmission, so bridges the gap between a motorbike in a scooter. It’s designed to be as durable and practical as possible, so should run and run through all seasons. It has Honda’s well proven fuel-injection system too, so there’s no issues getting it to start on cold days. Unfortunately, it’s a little bit on the slow side, with a top speed of around 60mph and lethargic acceleration.
  • Review: Sealey MAC03 tyre inflator (productReview)
    What is it? If you’re running low tyre pressures on your car, you might as well be throwing money away as you can expect increased fuel consumption. Not only that, but they can also mean your car will not handle as well as it should, while you can expect braking performance to be compromised as well. 
  • Review: Ring RTC1000 Rapid Digital Tyre Inflator (productReview)
    There’s a useful light on the unit to help you see what you’re doing if you’re inflating a tyre at night (although it doesn’t have a setting to flash in order to warn motorists of a potential hazard) a nd it’s not just cars it works on; the unit comes with extra attachments so you can use it on bike tyres, footballs, air beds and the like. It’s also chunky and sturdy enough to withstand being dropped (although perhaps not run over). Should I buy one?
  • Review: Norco Fluid 2 HT (2019) (productReview)
    Yes, those chunky tyres and the 12-speed SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain are definitely focused towards low-speed off-road riding rather than setting a new Strava record (you’ll soon run out of gears attempting to keep up with cars on downhill road sections), but it’s quick enough as an introduction to mountain biking. Our large model was mainly used by our six-foot product tester who found it fit nicely with plenty of adjustment in the seat, although the handlebars do feel quite wide - something that takes some getting used to.

  • Review: Abee M7 dash camera (productReview)
    The layout is straightforward and buttons are sensibly labelled, so it’s intuitive to get it up and running. No memory card is provided, but microSD cards up to 128gb are supported. In terms of functionality the M7 works like any other dash camera. If it is connected to the 12V socket it powers up when the ignition is started and it will turn itself off when the ignition is turned off.
