  Review: Char-Broil All-Star 120 B-Gas BBQ (productReview)
  It isn't that easy to move around but it's definitely easier than having no wheels  - plus, there are parking brakes in case you're worried about it rolling away. The top half of the barbecue comes with its own short, metal legs and can detach from the trolley to sit on the ground or a table. To us, the entire idea of detaching the BBQ from the bottom half is a bit of a novelty considering it's far more practical to use the entire unit together (it's taller but doesn't really take up any extra space and the trolley keeps the gas canister out of the way).

  Top 10: Useful car accessories for dog owners (Article)
  It has a floating plate in it that allows enough water through for the dog to drink, but that won’t allow splashes.

  Top 10: 125cc bikes with manual transmissions (Article)
  Emissions rules mean the new model is a four-stroke with less power, but if you plan on one day riding a real sports bike this is a good place to get practice. Its powerful brakes, 70+ mph top speed and keen, sharp handling make it feel like a miniature superbike – and its appreciably cheaper than the Yamaha R125 – which is the new king of the college car park. It’s still very expensive for a 125cc bike though – and it’s hardly comfy around town.

  Need For Speed (1994)  Sniffy motorsport types tend to disparage the Need For Speed (NFS) series because of its perceived populist, superficial, ‘arcade’ style approach to racing. And yes, no NFS title has ever come with a manual explaining trail braking (more of which later) and the racing is often wrapped up in a narrative that’s been lifted straight from the bins outside the Fast & Furious production studio - but there’s always lots to get excited about.

Front brake pads will cost around £110 fitted, likewise those at the rear, if you need discs two you can double those prices. A diagnostic check to ascertain any faults will cost about £45, an exhaust around £250, and a timing belt replacement around £420.

  Have it checked, and listen for any rattling, particularly when pulling away. Check the brakes lights work, these, and a few other electrical gremlins will cause the ECU to throw up warnings. Plugging it into a diagnostic machine should locate any issues.  The paint on Sprinters has always been an issue, and while newer models don’t tend to suffer quite as much, do a thorough inspection of the bodywork before buying, and try to have stone chips and any deep scratches in the paintwork repaired to prevent any corrosion.  There have been a number of official recalls on the Sprinter, check your, or any prospective purchase of a Sprinter on the DVSA website to see if it has been subject to any of these.
