• VEHICLE EXCISE DUTY: How much is the tax on my car? (FAQs)
  Consequently VED was charged according to a vehicle's date of first registration in the UK regardless of whether they were brand new vehicles or imported vehicles that are new to registration in the UK. That meant that a pre March 2001 car, even a 1995 car, imported after March 2001 was subject to CO2 based tax rather than the normal standard rates for older cars.
• CONSUMER RIGHTS: How do I reject a vehicle or get compensation for problems with a car? (FAQs)
  A lot of people think they have statutory rights under acts such as the various Sale of Goods Acts. But what is important is the interpretation of these Acts in courts of law. And the higher the court, the more important the ruling. It goes County Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and what used to be House of Lords Appeal, but is now The Supreme Court.

  Top 10: Winter Riding Tips (Article)
  Don’t forget about gloves and consider a pair of inner gloves to add yet another layer. A neck warmer is another vital item of clothing as it’s important to cover every bit of exposed skin and plug those gaps to keep the breeze out. Whichever visor you use, make sure it’s spotlessly clean and has an anti-fog coating so your breath doesn’t mist it up.

  Review: Ring Video Doorbell 2 (productReview)
  Night Vision is also fantastic, with no issues surrounding the image quality. The only problems we really had were to do with the audio, which isn't really important in our opinion anyway - but the sound can sound a bit distorted and skip at times when rewatching captured footage. When motion is detected or the doorbell is rung, you'll get a notification on your phone (so long as you have the app notifications set up).

  Top 10: Winter essentials for car owners (Article)
  Water and snacks If you get stranded in winter, waiting for your breakdown service or for someone who will stop to help can be a cold, stressful experience - especially if you have hungry kids in the car. Food and drink should always be essential in the car, but in winter it's especially important - even if it's just a bottle of water and some chocolate bars. A flask of hot tea is even better, so make sure you leave yourself time to prep if you're heading out on a longer trip than usual in bad conditions.

  Top 10: Gifts for over £150 (Article)
  Buckle & Seam’s pricing compares well to other firms offering similar high-end products, so if the brand name isn’t important to you then the ethical element may well be the clincher. The £162 price tag is likely to put some off, but it's worth remembering that the company donates 3 per cent of every bag sold to Anum School, which spread girl's education in Karachi, Pakistan.

  Review: Nextbase 622GW dash cam (productReview)
  On one side, there's a rubber cover over a port for attaching a rear camera, while the other side sees a power button and an SD card slot. At the bottom of the touchscreen and, there's a red button that you can tap to make sure important footage is saved. The 622GW sensor should do this automatically if you hit the brakes relatively hard, but the physical button gives some extra reassurance - as well as allowing you to save footage like near-misses, which may not require harsh braking, for example.
• BROKERS: Which brokers should I consider if buying a new or used car? (FAQs)
  The revised V5C is a different colour (red) and makes clear that the V5C is not proof of ownership. Is the car an independent or ‘parallel’ import? If so, how much manufacturer warranty is left. This usually dates from when the car was first sold in the country where it was sourced, but may date from when the car was actually built.

  Top 10: Motorcycle Accessories (Article)
  We’ve used them in a couple of bikes now and there is a definite step up in brightness and definition. This is important on country roads and badly light urban streets where potholes can otherwise lurk in the shadows. Another bonus is other road users being able to see the bike earlier. Crash bungs Nobody likes to contemplate the idea of their beloved bike being damaged, but it happens and often in the most innocuous circumstances.

  Review: Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 wireless in-ear headphones (productReview)
  Each earphone features a button at the non-listening end, which allows you to pause/play, alter the volume, skip tracks, accept/reject calls etc. The earphones also have an L and R to dictate left and right, which is important when it comes to these controls - for example, two clicks on the right earphone let you skip a track, you'd have to double-click the left earphone to go to a previous track. It works well, although we wish the controls weren't so designated by which side earphone we used because, say, we're out running with only the right earphone in to listen to our surroundings, we'd only be able to skip to the next song or turn volume up.

  Review: Razor E-Prime electric scooter (productReview)
  The build quality is impressive and the scooter is lightweight with a long deck that makes riding it easy and comfortable, too. When it comes to value for money and the very important fun factor - we think the E-Prime is a fantastic choice. Yes, £400 is a lot of money - but when you take into account the time it could save you in walking or the money you pay renting bikes/e-scooters and taxis, it really could be a smart investment.

  Classic Car Finance explained (Article)
  Here, the monthly payments are set and do not follow a varaible interest rate, so you know what you're paying. Drivers can also pay off their loan agreement in full. It's important to remember you don't own the vehicle, you will be it's registered keeper and have the V5C logbook - but the loan is secured against the vehicle, which means the vehicle can be repossessed.  The financial company will register a financial interest with HPI, which is removed when the final payment is made or the loan settled in full.

  Classic Car Tyres (Article)
  Never underestimate how important it is to get the right tyres for your classic car. You might have spent thousands upgrading the engine, sorting the suspension and beefing up the brakes - but without the right rubber all that hard work will go to waste.
