• NITROGEN IN CAR TYRES: What's the point of filling car tyres with Nitrogen? (FAQs)
  Reduced rolling resistance improves miles per gallon by 2% Nitrogen tyre inflation is not a new concept. Nitrogen as a tyre inflation medium has been around since the early 70’s and has been used in applications which require safety or performance. The earthmoving industry use Nitrogen to prevent latent heat build-up as Nitrogen does not heat up as much as compressed air when a vehicle is in motion.

  Sat Nav of the Year shortlist (Article)
  Built-in WiFi also means you don’t need to faff around with wires when you want to update the Rider 550’s maps and software updates either. Find it on Sports Bike Shop here >> Read our full review Shenen 7-inch If you’re in the market for a sat nav and simply want something inexpensive and functional, then this is a sensible, straightforward option.

  Review: Multimac Superclub three-seater childseat (productReview)
  Another aspect to be mindful of is the protruding legs that help secure the unit. On some models, these can fit flush against the seat, but on our 2016 model year Ford Kuga they stick out. This has resulted in a few bumps. Thankfully, protective rubber covers any sharp edges. During the two weeks on test, we were never able to successfully remove the unit.

  Product Awards 2018: Winners (Article)
  width=500&height=375" alt="" /> This year’s Speed Champions collection sees six sets ranging from £12.99 to £89.99 and includes the Porsche 919 Hybrid Le Mans, Ferrari 488 GT3, Porsche 911 RSR & 911 Turbo 3.0 and Ferrari Ultimate Garage.  But it’s the two Fords that really caught our eye: 1968 Ford Mustang and Ford Fiesta M-Sport WRC (75885), priced at £14.99 and £12.99.  All models in the Lego Speed Champions range make great gifts for children (and big kids) and the low price points make them ideal for impulse purchases, stocking fillers or an alternative to an Easter egg.

  Top 10: Films for car enthusiasts (Article)
  Tucker the Man and His Dream also centres on the following scandal with the Big Three Automakers (General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US) amid allegations of stock fraud. While the film doesn't feature any exciting car chase sequences, it is a heartfelt biopic that shows another side of the American Dream.

• Review: Volkswagen T2 Danbury Camper (Article)
  Launched in 1967, German production stopped way back in 1979, but the model kept going in South America, and it’s still alive and well and rolling off a Brazilian assembly line, although looming air bag and anti lock brake legislation killed it off by 2012. The Type 2’s extended Indian Summer saw it make a re-appearance in Britain, thanks to an enterprising business based near Bristol, which imports these vans and turns them into motor homes (and usually switches them to right hand drive).
• Halfords Catalogue 1965 (Article)
  Looking at it with 2017's eyes, it's a perfect baby-launching machine in a crash.    Can you buy it today?

  Review: Honda Izy HRG 416 SK (productReview)
  width=500&height=375" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/2dd001a0a45b4968ae8e8e76b592990c" /> Pull the second bar on the handle and the self-propelled function kicks-in, pushing the mower along at 0.92m/s. That’s fast enough to take the strain out of the mowing, without feeling that you’re being pulled along with it. For smaller lawns this feature is probably a bit of an extravagance, in which case you may want to consider the push variant (HRG 416 SK), but for anything larger - and if you have a long garden - it really is a Godsend.

  Review: Piaggio MP3 500 Sport (productReview)
  Where the front wheel of a motorcycle could slip away if you hit some wet leaves while cornering, the Piaggio MP3, with Anti Skid Control, stays stable. When you consider that the MP3’s 493cc engine puts out 40PS, gets it to 60 in about 6 seconds, tops out at 95mph, yet gives you 75miles on a gallon, you’re not going to be holding up the traffic or diminishing world oil resources. Three wheel disc brakes with ABS and ASR give exceptional stopping power, with, of course, 50% more rubber on the road than a motorcycle’s.

  Review: Ducati SuperSport 2017 (productReview)
  But the result is a very secure and stable ride that inspires confidence even on greasy or wet roads – helped further by the excellent Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres. If you have a bit more cash to spend you can get a SuperSport S, which gains a quick shifter, enabling clutchless up and down changes through the gearbox. It also gains more sophisticated Ohlins front suspension, which gives even better ride quality and control than the already impressive Marzocchi forks on the standard bike.
• ELECTRIC CARS: Is an EV right for me? (FAQs)
  Drawing on 17 years of experience in electric vehicle development and production, Think is not a typical car industry start-up. TH!NK city was put in serial production in 1999, supported by American car giant Ford. Ford became a major shareholder and invested USD 150 million in Think during its four years as an owner. When Ford decided to leave the electric vehicle sector in 2003, Think was sold out of the car manufacturing group.

  Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones (productReview)
  The headphones have also dropped significantly in price, falling from over £300 to a tempting £199 - making them significantly more affordable than the Momentum 4's closest rivals, Sony's WH-1000XM5 and Bowers & Wilkins' Px7 S2e, both still over £250. 

  Review: Honda NC750X 2017 (productReview)
  No wonder they’re such a common sight in cities like London. The NC750 comes in two different flavours. The S is a typical unfaired road bike, while the X tested here gets some Adventure bike styling touches, including a ‘beak’ under the all-LED headlight. But, underneath, both bikes are the same with an economical 745cc two-cylinder engine and six-speed transmission.

  Review: Suzuki SV650 2017 (productReview)
  But while those parts are dated, Suzuki has at least used a few bits from the parts bin marked “modern components”. The mirrors and digital instrument surround, for example, are shared with the GSX-S 750. Even the frame comes from Suzuki’s back catalogue - it’s an evolution of the one used in the previous Gladius. So the SV 650 really is a bit of a hotchpotch and it’s clear to see where some corners have been cut.
• ENGINE ECU: Where can I have the Engine Control Unit (ECU) of my car re-mapped? (FAQs)
  And can later use it to revert the ECU to standard with no detectable sign that an upgrade had previously taken place. Recent applications are to the MINI One (+33bhp. + 34Nm torque), Ford Focus ST (+46bhp, + 71Nm torque) and the VAG 2.0 TDI PD (+37bhp. + 75Nm torque). The VAG reprogramming is particularly effective because it not only gives the engine 185bhp, it boosts the torque at low revs and makes it more flexible, so you can accelerate uphill in 3rd gear from just 1,200rpm.
• What is salvage retention? (Article)
  And this means that the salvage is your property. Hagerty use the example of a Mk2 Ford Capri 2.0 GT worth £8000 where the compulsory excess is £100. In this case, the owner would receive a pay out of £7900 on an agreed value policy. With salvage retention, that figure is £5500 as the insurer retains the scrap value of the car (£2400) as well as taking the £100 excess.

  Review: Thule Force 3 roofbox (productReview)
  The Thule Force 3 is Thule's entry-level roofbox range and replaces the Thule Force XT range. The S version costing £440 rising to £650 for the XL. There are also two Sport versions in the range - these are narrower to fit alongside bikes or kayaks on your roof bars. Thule describes the Force 3 as 'offering a robust solution for year round use' hence why rather than a gloss finish, it comes with what's called 'AeroSkin' - more akin to your traditional matt roofbox finish.
