Review: Monojoy keyless car key signal blocker (productReview)
And with this purchase, you get two pouches. It's pretty small, meaning our Audi key fob fits inside, and you could get a house key or another key fob in there as long as they aren't massive. The RFID blocking material also means you can put b uilding access keys, smart watches etc in there to protect them too - although we haven't tested the product for this purpose. -
Which classic 4x4 is the cheapest to insure? (Article)
Model Value Premium Insurer 1986 Land Rover 90 £6000 £78.62 Performance Direct 1989 Fiat Panda 4x4 £3500 £96.11 Performance Direct 1990 Lada Niva £1500 £169.93 Performance Direct 1990 Audi Quattro 20v £30,000 £169.60 * What is the cheapest Classic Car Insurance for a Porsche 944? (Article)
It might look like a beefed up 924, but the 944 was so much more than that. Gone was the Audi van engine, replaced by a new 2.5-litre slant-four engine developed from the 928's V8. It looked great, too - lines were smoother and the car was actually able to make its on-road presence felt. -
Review: Virgin Experience Days Supercar Experience (productReview)
The supercars in question vary depending on your location, but the big names are included such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Aston Martin and Audi. It’s also worth bearing in mind that you won’t get to pick and choose whatever you want, with each location have its own fleet of vehicles from which you can make a selection and the more fancy examples will be in limited supply, although Virgin Experience Days do promise that every venue has at least one of the big five mentioned. -
What is the cheapest Classic Car Insurance for a Mk1 Volkswagen Golf GTI (Article)
The Giugiaro-designed Golf was exactly the right car at the right time, but it was in GTI form, from 1976, that it was most impressive. 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. -
Which classic Porsche is the cheapest to insure? (Article)
The answer to this question depends on which one you want. Lower down the food chain is the 924 (thanks in part to its Audi van-derived engine). If you've got £3000 to spend you should be able to pick up a good one indeed. At the other end of the stratosphere is the 911 993 GT2, which won't get you much change from a millon. -
Top 10: Gifts for classic car enthusiasts (Article)
The book is also illustrated with period images, together with archive material provided by Audi and new pictures of preserved examples of the cars today, their key components and their restoration. The original rally Quattro debuted in 1980, and was based on the road car, but with a highly tuned 300bhp engine. -
Top 10: Signal blocking, keyless entry theft pouches and boxes 2024 (Article)
Even if you don't have keyless start, those who can gain entry can steal anything you leave inside your car. And with this purchase, you get two pouches. It's pretty small, meaning our Audi key fob fits inside, but there are bigger pouches out there if you want to store multiple key fobs. The signal is completely blocked inside the pouch, so even if you put it in your pocket and the buttons get accidentally clicked, your car won't unlock. -
Review: Disklok steering lock (productReview)
Our pictures show it on a Ford Fiesta, but we also tested it on a Mercedes C-Class, Mazda CX-5 and Audi Q2 with no issues. It's worth buying the elasticated steering wheel cover (it's only £6) especially if you have a leather steering wheel, as it stops the Disklok marking it. Disklok recommends storing it in the boot. -

Plug it in and you'll instantly hear an internal fan running which hints at its capability. We're testing it on our Audi e-tron which is fitted with big 265/45 R21 tyres. We've deflated two tyres by half and the other two by about a quarter. With most tyre inflators this would take a fair amount of time, so it's a good test of the TowerTop.HIRING A CAR: Where can I hire a car in the UK and abroad? (FAQs)

The Navdy has a better set of features than any manufacturer-fitted HUD around – and we think it’s a good preview of what makers like Audi will be doing in a few years to come. It’s like a taste of the future – but it’s only going to appeal to real technology lovers. However, if you’re into the latest gadgetry and you have the money, there’s nothing quite like the Navdy.Review: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
We've now had our Ohme Home Pro for close to 6 months and it has been superbly reliable. We've used it with our own Audi e-tron as well as a slew of different EVs we have tested including everything from a Volvo EC40 and a Vauxhall Astra Electric to a Volkswagen ID.7 GTX and a BMW i5 M60. It's perfomed impeccably with all, which the app making things very simple to control.Review: Razor Crazy Cart Shift (productReview)
For those that don't live a few minutes from where they want to use the Crazy Cart shift, it might be a better idea to chuck it in the car rather than carry it - as we do. It fits fine in our Audi Q2, but if your rear seats/boot are full or you have a smaller car, it's definitely worth checking the dimensions to see if you'll be able to fit the cart in your car. A top speed of 8mph doesn't sound that quick, but at this height, it's still a thrill.Review: Lego Speed Champions 2018 (productReview)
Initially kicked-off with McLaren, Ferrari and Porsche kits initially, Lego has added many others over the course of the past few years to include Audi, Chevrolet, Ford, Mercedes-AMG and Bugatti. This year’s Speed Champions collection sees six sets ranging from £12.99-£89.99 with the Porsche 919 Hybrid Le Mans (set number 75997, £12.99), Ferrari 488 GT3 (75886, £12.99), Porsche 911 RSR & 911 Turbo 3.0 (75888, £34.99) and Ferrari Ultimate Garage (75889, £89.99).Cheap car insurance for modern classics (Article)
Pleasing, there are plenty of normal cars available for classic cover. Your Mk1 Ford Mondeo doesn’t have an ST24 badge to qualify, and Audis like the 80 and 100 can be covered as well as hugely desirable Quattro. Even what non-petrolheads would probably refer to as ‘bangers’ like the Citroen Xantia or Alfa 145 are eligible for classic cover.Review: Pod Point Solo 3S EV Charger (productReview)
We've used it with a variety of cars as well, from plug-in hybrids like the Skoda Superb Estate, to EVs like the Audi Q6 e-tron and Ford Explorer. All have happily connected and charged as expected without issues. We couldn't fault the installation process, while the unit itself appears well made (and it's great to have that five-year warranty to back that up), while the app is great - it's responsive and stable.Christmas 2021: Best Gifts Under £100 (Article)
