  Review: Stoplock Pro review (productReview)
  The Pro model sits in the middle of the range and does not offer as great a degree of universal fitment as the more expensive Stoplock Pro Elite so it may not suit your car. Particularly large or small steering wheels may not accommodate it, nor wheels with a particularly thick rim. Some sports cars where the distance between the seat and the steering wheel is very small may also struggle, so if you are unsure see if your local car accessory store will let you trial-fit before you buy, or keep the receipt and check the returns policy.

  Review: CTEK MXS 5.0 12v battery charger (productReview)
  Lights, heaters, fans on full to demist screens, heated seats (fancy)… In fact, turning a car over in the depths of winter can take as much as 80 per cent of the battery’s charge. And if your battery isn’t fully charged, then you don’t need to be Carol Vorderman to do the maths.

  Review: Azdome M06 (productReview)
  We much prefer this design to the moulded units you often get, as well as the fact that it comes with a suction mount rather than an adhesive mount so we can move it easily from car to car. The dash cam itself just slots in from the side, so it's a doddle to take off without having to remove the mount. There can be a slight vibration from the mount and we found that over time, the small adjuster comes loose, so it needs a retighten every now and then too.

  Top 10: Child car safety products (Article)
    Nextbase Universal Tablet Mount - £50 Keeping little ones occupied on a long journey is important – it prevents them from distracting the driver, which in turn reduces the chance of having an accident. A tablet PC is obviously an ideal device to have in the car for that purpose, since it can play videos and is easy to use. This Nextbase mount straps seven to 10-inch tablets to the back of the front head rests, plus it can be wired up so the device never runs out of battery when the car is running.

  Review: Kymco X-Town (productReview)
  Composure like that is what gives you the confidence to string together winding roads and it also means riding in town is reassuringly simple. Our only slight criticism is when using the 260mm twin front floating disc brakes in isolation it could feel a little overwhelmed when pulling up sharply, such as when a car pulls out without indicating. Feed in a little of the single 240mm disc rear stopper and you can come to a controlled halt every time.

  Review: Zero FXS 2017 (productReview)
  But for town driving it’s great - the simple, twist-and-go throttle and potent acceleration mean pretty much nothing can win in a rush away from the traffic lights - even performance cars. But it’s not just an urban commuting machine – the FXS is great on a country road too.  The suspension, while quite soft in its standard state, works very well on typical, uneven back roads and so do the brakes, despite there being just a single disc up front.

  Best Car Tyres 2019 (Article)
  Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 tyres do very well when it comes to handling, offering a decent amount of traction and a strong front grip. They handle well in snow, rain and in warm weather - as we'd expect - although grip in snow is where they really shine. The tyre is certified with the snowflake symbol, which means it meets the official standards of dedicated winter tires.

  Review: Nextbase 422GW dash cam (productReview)
  The charging cable then plugs directly into the camera or the mount so that you can remove the dash cam unit and put it in a glovebox away from prying eyes. When you get back in your car, the camera then easily clicks back into the mount with no fuss and no fiddling with plugging it in again.  The 3M adhesive mount attaches firmly to the windscreen so if you plan to change it into different vehicles frequently, opt for the suction mount.

• FLASHING OTHER DRIVERS: Is it illegal to flash other drivers to warn them of a speed trap? (FAQs)
  .  Flashing should only be used as a warning, which it did in this case. 'Flashing someone out in front of you' can be misinterpreted, so drivers should exercise caution and not automatically assume they are being 'flashed out' unless the behaviour of the other driver confirms this.

  Top 10: Essentials for camper van owners (Article)
  Due to the design, the Sealey gets very hot around its base so it must be used on a concrete or gravel surface that is impervious to heat. >> Read our full review The Camper Van Cookbook: Life on 4 wheels, Cooking on 2 rings Cooking in even the most luxuriously-appointed campervan can be a bit of a stressful experience because space is at a premium, while hobs and ovens tend to be on the smaller side too.

  Review: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
  While the Ohme Home Pro does come with a neat display screen, we rarely look at it, instead using the excellent Ohme app to manage our charging. This not only links to your car, but you can also add your energy tariff, giving you an estimated cost. Once you've added your car and set your charge amount, it will then show the charge schedule. And this is the clever bit.
