Classic Car Tyres (Article)
As you might expect, the French tyre manufacturer worked closely with domestic car makers and the radial tyre (intially called the X-tyre) was developed for the front-wheel drive Citroen Traction Avant (Michelin had in fact bought Citroen in the 1930s). The radial was a run away success offering superior handling and fuel economy compared to the cross-ply. In 1975, Michelin had another big idea - the TRX ('Tension Repartie' or distributed tension), which proved itself in Formula One with with Renault and Prost and in the world rally championship on the Audi Quattro, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 and Renault 5 Turbo. -

Van & Pick-up MoT Test Results and Advice (Article)
The German firm is also the highest ranked large volume van maker in the MoT Files, with 23,000 vehicles having their first test in 2017 – more than both Toyota and Isuzu combined. Citroen props up the table with a pass rate of almost 69 per cent. The French vanmaker has the lowest MoT score, while Renault is second worse with fewer than 72 per cent of vehicles passing. Nissan fares little better with some 72 per cent of vehicles passing. The Honest John Vans MoT Files is based on real world data from the DVSA - Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. -
How to value your classic car for insurance purposes (Article)
As well as classics, these types of policies are popular with owners of modified classics – whether that’s a Citroen Saxo with £25k worth of upgrades or a Ford Model A Hot Rod.

How old does a car have to be to qualify for modern classic insurance? As we’ve seen, there’s no hard and fast rule about which cars qualify and which don’t. -

Not only is Renault's overall pass rate of just 52.6 per cent way below par, it lags behind even defunct brands such as Rover (54.2 per cent), Saab (59.5 per cent) and Chevrolet (60.2 per cent). Renault wasn't alone with fellow French brands Peugeot and Citroen also featuring near the bottom of the table. SsangYong is another manufacturer that disappoints. Despite coming top in the Honest John Satisfaction Index 2018 , it has a lowly MoT pass rate of 59.6 per cent from just 7500 vehicles tested. -

Not only is a diesel van more efficient than a petrol equivalent, but it also provides more torque for moving heavy loads and towing.
