• Review: Volkswagen T2 Danbury Camper (Article)
  The Volkswagen T2 was still imported in 2009 and converted to a camper by Danbury. That old pub car bore’s adage; ‘why did they ever stop making the ....?’ (insert name of favourite, long-defunct motor here) doesn’t apply to Volkswagen’s famous, rear-engined Type 2 ‘Bay Window’ van, because it still does.

  Review: Thule Touring S roof box (productReview)
  To fit the box you need to first mount the roof bars. Here, on the Volkswagen Up, that requires the Thule Rapid System 754. As the Up does without rack mounts or channels, this utilises a foot and clamp system that rests on the roof itself and clamps down into the door shut.
• 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?

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.

  Top 10: Father's Day gifts for classic car owners (Article)
  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: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
  The brand was founded in 2017 but has quickly made a name for itself, partnering with the likes of Octopus Energy, Volkswagen and Hyundai, among many others.  It offers two EV chargers - the Ohme Home Pro, which we're testing here, or the Ohme ePod. The Home Pro is a little more expensive, costing from £999 including standard installation, but it comes with a colour screen and a tethered 5 metre type 2 cable.

  Review: BikeStow Original bike rack (productReview)
  We've tested the three-bike BikeStow Original in the back of our Volkswagen Transporter Sportline .
