  Review: Scalextric Legends Rusty Rides - Volkswagen Beetle and T1b Camper (productReview)
  Alongside its main sets, Scalextric produces a huge range of individual cars you can buy, with everything from classic Le Mans racers to American muscle cars. The Rusty Rides set has a Volkswagen Beetle and T1 Camper van, both finished in a distressed 'rat look', which come in a posh presentation box and are limited to a run of 1800 units. You even get a little card to tell you what number your set is.

  Review: Thule Touring S roof box (productReview)
  To fit the box you need to first mount the roof bars. Here, on the Volkswagen Up, that requires the Thule Rapid System 754. As the Up does without rack mounts or channels, this utilises a foot and clamp system that rests on the roof itself and clamps down into the door shut.

  Review: Volkswagen Bulli T2 Build Your Own (productReview)
  What is it? If you can't afford a Volkswagen T2 camper van, this could be the next best thing — a build-your-own T2 detailed cardboard model complete with a pop-up roof, sliding side door and even a proper interior. It's a 1:18 scale so measures about 25cm in length when finished and comes in a neat hardback book, which includes all the cardboard sheets plus a companion guide with an interesting history and lots of good pictures of the T2.

  Review: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
  The brand was founded in 2017 but has quickly made a name for itself, partnering with the likes of Octopus Energy, Volkswagen and Hyundai, among many others.  It offers two EV chargers - the Ohme Home Pro, which we're testing here, or the Ohme ePod. The Home Pro is a little more expensive, costing from £999 including standard installation, but it comes with a colour screen and a tethered 5 metre type 2 cable.

  Scalextric Mini Diamond Edition - Commemorative Triple Pack (productReview)
  Like the Scalextric Legends Rusty Rides - Volkswagen Beetle and T1b Camper set that we reviewed, the Mini Diamond Edition set only includes the cars. This won't be an issue if you already have a Scalextric track, which we imagine most collectors will.

  Review: BikeStow Original bike rack (productReview)
  We've tested the three-bike BikeStow Original in the back of our Volkswagen Transporter Sportline . Setting it up took a matter of minutes, including securing it with the aforementioned straps, and we were soon using it to transport a range of bikes - from narrow-wheeled city bikes to gnarlier mountain bikes.

  Review: Thule Motion XT Sport roof box (productReview)
  Take the protective plastic off and you're greeted with a lovely black glossy shine - there are no scratchy plastics here. First impressions are very good indeed. To mount it onto our Volkswagen Tiguan we first had to fit the roof bars and railing mounts. Once you've worked out where you want them and made sure they're straight, it's pretty straightforward. Although fitting the locks on the Thule Rapid System 775 is a little fiddly, but at least all four use the same key.

  Review: Sealey Digital Brake Disc & Drum Caliper (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.49609375" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/e57e67dd75b1488d96f952bb1681b807" /> We did it the old fashioned way, though, Our Volkswagen Golf's multi-spoke alloys meant taking the wheel off was easier and with the brilliant access that provided, taking a measurement was a job of a matter of seconds. You know it’s accurate, too, because all Digital Brake Disc & Drum Calipers come with a certificate of calibration supplied by Sealey.

  Review: Micro Wagon (productReview)
  Given its size when folded, we wouldn't say you could keep this in the boot of your car all the time (the picture below shows it in a Volkswagen Golf), but it's an ideal thing to have in the garage. It can carry 100kg - so you've no excuse to not let the kids leap in - and even when fully laden, the base feels sturdy and the tough fabric doesn't stretch.

  Review: Britax Römer Dualfix i-size (productReview)
  The sheer size of the seat means it is worth checking the dimensions against the space available in your car – it fitted well enough in a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan and a larger people carrier, but it might be tight in smaller cars. This is the case with many seats, though. If you don’t need to swap it between different cars on a regular basis then this is a fantastically user-friendly seat that is comfy for little ones.

  Review: Britax Baby-Safe (productReview)
  When it comes to baby seats, Britax is one of the most well known names around. After all, this is the company that, working with Volkswagen, invented Isofix in 1997. The German-made Britax Baby-Safe is its most affordable Group 0+ baby seat so is suitable from birth until your little one is around 12 to 15 months old. Priced at £99.99 it's available from the likes of Mothercare for £89.99 which makes it one of cheapest car seats on the market from an established brand.
