• COOLANT: How long does it last and which type should I use?  (FAQs)
  If motorists don’t, there is the risk of mixing two different types of coolant and, at best, significantly reducing or, at worst, cancelling out the protective properties of both coolants. To ensure Comma meets the requirements of major manufacturers such as Audi, Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes Benz and Porsche, Comma Super Longlife Red Coolant includes OAT (Organic Acid Technology) - the most advanced chemical protection package yet devised. 70% of European-manufactured cars are now factory filled with OAT – red type – coolants, which makes Comma Super Longlife Red Coolant suitable for an increasing number of motorists.

  Review: Volkswagen Bulli T2 Build Your Own (productReview)
  What is it? If you can't afford a Volkswagen T2 camper van, this could be the next best thing — a build-your-own T2 detailed cardboard model complete with a pop-up roof, sliding side door and even a proper interior. It's a 1:18 scale so measures about 25cm in length when finished and comes in a neat hardback book, which includes all the cardboard sheets plus a companion guide with an interesting history and lots of good pictures of the T2.

  The working lights are a neat extra and the fact they even manage to sound like that characteristic Volkswagen flat-four engine is impressive. While there's no shortage of models for Scalextric buyers to choose from, both new and old, we think these stand out as something a bit special. Scalextric also sells other T1 camper models and a rusty yellow Beetle.

  Review: Thule Motion XT Sport roof box (productReview)
  Take the protective plastic off and you're greeted with a lovely black glossy shine - there are no scratchy plastics here. First impressions are very good indeed. To mount it onto our Volkswagen Tiguan we first had to fit the roof bars and railing mounts. Once you've worked out where you want them and made sure they're straight, it's pretty straightforward. Although fitting the locks on the Thule Rapid System 775 is a little fiddly, but at least all four use the same key.

  Review: Micro Wagon (productReview)
  Given its size when folded, we wouldn't say you could keep this in the boot of your car all the time (the picture below shows it in a Volkswagen Golf), but it's an ideal thing to have in the garage. It can carry 100kg - so you've no excuse to not let the kids leap in - and even when fully laden, the base feels sturdy and the tough fabric doesn't stretch.
