  • Used Van Buying Guide: Nissan NV200 2009-2019 16 Jun 2025 (News)
    Check the quality of the gearshift, the five-speed gearbox is - like the engine - car derived, so if it’s been abused or frequently hauled at maximum capacity it might fail. It should be obvious if it’s on its way out, with any noises, crunching or difficulty selecting gear pointing to a failing transmission.
  • How to buy a scooter (Article)
    Remember, be polite, be firm and be realistic. When it comes to trade-ins, scooter dealers will be unlikely to accept your old car as they are not usually in a position to assess its value or sell it on. However, if you have an old scooter or motorcycle, they may well look at a part-exchange deal. Can I buy a scooter with HP, PCH or PCP?
  • Toy of the Year shortlist (Article)
    You even get a little card to tell you what number your set is.  Priced at £85.99, the set works on any Scalextric track and both cars come with 'xenon effect' headlights along with rear lights, plus of course plenty of high detailing including rusty paintwork and proper door mirrors. The working lights are a neat extra and the fact they even manage to sound like that characteristic Volkswagen flat-four engine is impressive.
  • 125cc Scooter of the Year shortlist (Article)
    So, the Super Cub is a clever marketing ploy for those who want a classic machine without the hassle of old engines, weak brakes and feeble electrics? Well, it certainly manages that and more. The engine is peppy around town, allowing you to nip away from cars when the lights turn green. Up to 40mph, the Super Cub is a spruce performer and the four-speed gearbox is very quick and simple to use as you don’t have to worry about juggling the clutch for perfect take-offs.

  • Review: Joie i-Level (productReview)
    It's i-size compliant, which requires more side-impact protection and for the child to be seated facing backwards until they are at least 15 months old. It also means that it can only be secured to the car via Isofix, so the i-Level isn’t suitable for those with an older vehicle that doesn’t have Isofix mounts. Unlike many infant car seats, the i-Level doesn’t just hold your baby in one fixed, slightly sitting, position.
  • Review: Tado Smart Thermostat Starter Kit V3+ (productReview)
    The Tado works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit too. We particularly like its integration with Android Auto in the car - being able to turn the heating up or check the temperature using voice commands while driving is a very useful feature. If you want Amazon Alexa capability in your car but don't have it, you can buy the Anker Roav Viva .
  • Review: Honda Forza 125 2017 (productReview)
    In the UK, most people see the humble scooter as a vehicle for teenagers who can’t afford a car. But while a 17-year-old is allowed to ride a Honda Forza 125 with L-plates, its appeal is far, far broader. In fact, it’s one of the best commuter machines in existence, no matter your age or experience - or the bike licence you hold.
  • How to buy a classic car (Article)
    Some even want to go the whole nine yards and experience driving on a race circuit without over-bearing traction control and the anti-lock brakes of modern cars.  Just man, and machine. But how do you know which old clunker is right for you? Classic cars are an emotional purchase – you don’t buy them like you buy a modern car. You don’t decide that you want a diesel family hatchback and then put together a shortlist of models that includes the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf.
  • Review: Nextbase 222 dash camera (productReview)
    Nextbase has stuck to physical buttons on the side of the 222 rather than a touchscreen but in reality, you'll rarely have to use them anyway. Once you start the car, the camera starts recording and you can press the big red button on the bottom if you want to save a clip to prevent it from being looped over.  The Nextbase films in 1080p @ 30fps which is the standard for the vast majority of dash cams.
  • Review: TomTom Go Camper (productReview)
    The touchscreen tech in particular is impressive. In our view, TomTom’s touchscreen tech is as good as anything you’ll find in a modern car. The route directions are also accurate and well-timed, which makes the Go Camper a great companion on a busy motorway or town centre. However, we found the signal drop to be a real pain when driving in rural areas.
  • Top 10: Best dash cameras to suit all budgets (Article)
    But on the plus side the camera supports memory cards up to 128gb, so you can record a lot of footage before old clips are overwritten. >> Read our full review   Azdome GS63H The Azdome GS63H comes with an impressive specification for the price with GPS, WiFi, motion detection and a Sony sensor camera.
  • Review: Micro Suspension Scooter (productReview)
    It's designed to carry  'larger riders' says Micro, with a maximum rider weight of 98kg - which is about 15 and a half stone in old money. Just two colours are available, the black version we're testing and a bronze (which we think is a lot more attractive).
    Review: Honda CB500X 2016 (productReview)
    Compared to big, 1000cc performance machines the pace of the 500X is best described as leisurely, but it’s still more than a match for nearly every car. There’s plenty of fun to be had, yet acceleration never feels daunting or dangerous. Halfords Catalogue 1965 (Article)
    An actual, real, safe child seat on Amazon for £270 *   The best things about old cars is the noise - the roar of the engine, the..... well, that was all you could hear really. Sometimes there was a radio but if you went above 50mph the single speaker might not be up to the job.
