  Review: Honda Forza 300 (productReview)
  With an 11.5-litre tank, that means stints of up to 200 miles between fills, which is better than a Yamaha V-Max can offer. Another capacity that has improved is the under seat storage, which has grown to 53.5-litres from the old model’s 48-litres. Fitting a pair of full-face helmets in here is quite possible and it means there’s loads of room for shopping.

  How to value your classic car for insurance purposes (Article)
  Sure, there are magazine and online price guides that offer you a rough valuation based on spec and condition – but what if your Ford Fiesta 1.1 Popular has a huge amount of sentimental value to you? Or you spent a small fortune on restoring it? Or it’s only got delivery mileage on? This is where you need something called ‘agreed value’.
• RUNNING IN A DIESEL: What's the best way to run-in a diesel engine? (FAQs)
  However, this does not always work and the extra fuel can instead find its way into the engine sump, contaminating the lube oil and sometimes leading to such a rise in sump oil level that the engine can start to run uncontrollably on its sump oil and will self-destruct. Peugeot/Citroen/Ford diesel engines don't need to get quite as hot as diesels in other makes because they use an additive to help regenerate the DPF. This used to be added to a tank under the back seat, but is now contained in a bladder that needs to be repalce around every 100,000 miles.

  Review: Eufy RoboVac 11S (productReview)
  Single room cleaning, which puts all of its power into the one room it's in, isn't a feature we found that useful because closing the door to the living room and selecting maximum cleaning did the same job. Max cleaning mode does drain the battery faster though. When it comes to cleaning the 11S, the brushes easily pop out.

The XS-S size gloves are perfect for riders with small hands (like yours truly). The only downside, albeit a small one, is they aren't as grippy as some other gloves. Buy them here at SportsBikeShop Spada Freeride WP gloves The Spada Freeride gloves are fully waterproof leather and ideal for touring.

  Review: Garmin VIRB 360 (productReview)
  When it comes to previewing the camera angle or changing the settings in more detail, we need to use the VIRB smartphone app (compatible with iOS and Android). As with other smartphone apps for action cameras, it's a case of turning on the VIRB 360’s WiFi and connecting to it with our mobile phone.

• LPG: Where can I get my car converted to run on LPG? (FAQs)
  There is now a standard conversion of the Perkins 180 diesel engine for buses and trucks, enabling them to run on LPG at the increased consumption rate of 25 to 50 per cent, but using a fuel which is less than half the price of diesel. New Citroen Xantias, Ford Mondeos, Vauxhall Vectras and Volvos with LPG conversions used to qualify for Powershift grants, but Citroen and Ford stopped offering converted cars and the EC has now stopped Powershift grants altogether.

  Review: AUKEY HD-C29 phone cradle (productReview)
  An in-car phone cradle might seem like something a travelling printer salesman would use in his Ford Mondeo circa 2001. But there’s arguably more cause to have one now than there was back then, thanks to sat nav apps like Google Maps or Waze (yes, we talk about Waze a lot but it’s very good). So a sturdy mount is very useful and the HD-C29 is up there with the best.

  Used Van Buying Guide: Sprinter 2013-2018 (Article)
  The changes were instrumental in maintaining the success of the Sprinter, it a strong seller against its competition from Ford, Fiat and Volkswagen, winning plenty of awards in its life. An indication of its enduring appeal was in its run-out year it beat all its previous year’s sales records, before Mercedes-Benz replaced it at the tail end of 2018 with its third generation model.

  Review: Melitta Purista Series 300 (productReview)
  The coffee outlet is height-adjustable up to 135mm so that we can use glasses or large mugs. We tend to keep the outlet at max height unless we're making espresso. A front panel with large, integrated buttons and a rotary sit on the front of the machine, with a drip tray ready to catch any coffee that drips outside the cup.

  Mixcder E8 headphones (productReview)
  The playback quality is extremely good for the price, especially for an over-ear design.  We don't think everyone will like the E8's huge design. This means it's easy to catch them on overhead lockers on aircraft or snag on a jacket. They can be quite difficult to carry around too, with the hard carry case taking up a lot of space in a backpack or laptop bag.

There’s quality polished chrome and brass fittings, accessory storage on the back and a hook for hanging the hose.  Hook it up to the water supply via a standard Hozelock-style connector, plug it in and you’re off.
• FUEL: What are the benefits of running a vehicle on Superunleaded or Superdiesel? (FAQs)
  The higher octane gives more torque at lower RPM, which allows an engine to run safely at lower RPM than lower octane petrol, as well as giving higher power at high RPM. In testing, Ford found the increase in power at 6,000rpm to be as much as 10%. The 'better burn' itself helps to keep the fuel system and valves of an engine clean: Branded Super also contains a package of additives including detergents and lubricants to keep the fuel system of an engine additionally clean.

  Review: Haynes Build Your Own V8 Engine (productReview)
  Like a Haynes manual brought to minature life, this is a model of the classic V8 configuration engine, similar to ones you’ll find in everything from 1930s Fords to modern Ferraris and McLarens. Rather than being just a static model however, once properly constructed, this V8 actually works – or at least moves with a little help. In the kit you get pistons, a crankshaft, rocker arms and cams plus a host of other detailed internal parts, right down to an ignition system that flashes to show the spark plugs working.
