  Top 10: Best sat navs with dash cams (Article)
    Mio MiVue Drive 65 – from around £279.99 If you like the idea of a Mio unit but want a bigger screen then this is just the ticket. It benefits from a big 6.2-inch screen, instead of the Drive 50’s five-inch display, and also features a higher-quality dash cam. It also gains built-in traffic alerts, making it more suitable for regular travellers. Like its smaller counterpart, however, you still get European maps with lifetime updates, automatic incident recording and myriad assistance features.

  Review: Yamaha XMAX 300 (productReview)
  Yamaha didn’t bother updating its previous XMAX 250 to meet 2017’s EU4 emissions laws and instead saw it as an opportunity to launch the all-new XMAX 300. We’re very glad they did as it’s resulted in one of the most complete and convincing scooters you could hope to own.

  Review: Peugeot Django 125 2017 (productReview)
  The model tested here is the Evasion, which has two-tone paint, a dual seat, a front luggage carrier and a windscreen, but there’s also a Sport, with number graphics and a pared-back look, an S with a single seat and matt black paint and a Heritage, with more muted, pastel colours.   If you pick a two-seat version and your licence permits, then you could carry a pillion, though we wouldn’t recommend venturing out of town.
• DPFs: What are they and why do they go wrong? (FAQs)
  In most modern cars the catalyst is injected into the fuel tank and is effectuated through the fuel injection system. Here is an extract from the press conference launching the Ford's cDPF system on the 2009 Fiesta 1.6TDCI. "Coated Diesel Particulate Filter (cDPF): Ford's optional cDPF system traps carbon deposits as they exit from the combustion system, preventing their release into the atmosphere.

  Review: Disklok steering lock (productReview)
  The small size will work for pretty much all cars, even Peugeot models with their diddy steering wheels, but you have to be careful if your car is fitted with paddle shifts on the steering wheel as it may not fit over them. Our pictures show it on a Ford Fiesta, but we also tested it on a Mercedes C-Class, Mazda CX-5 and Audi Q2 with no issues. It's worth buying the elasticated steering wheel cover (it's only £6) especially if you have a leather steering wheel, as it stops the Disklok marking it.

  Thule Approach M roof tent (productReview)
  No faffing about with poles or guide ropes, while packing away promises to be just as easy, with the tent folding in on itself before the cover is zipped up and you can drive off. Thule's Approach range of roof tents is available in three different sizes - Small (S), Large (L) and Medium (M), which we're testing here. The small Approach is designed for two people, while the large version should accommodate a family of four. With a sleeping footprint of 240 x 130cm, the Approach M is designed for two adults or two adults and a child.

  Review: The Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour with Afternoon Tea - Buy A Gift (productReview)
  There's plenty of parking and it's fairly easy to arrive via coach if that's your prefered method of transport. Once you exchange your voucher(s) for tickets, you can head in and grab a bite to eat or get in line for the tour. We'll try not to spoil too much, but be aware that if you read this review - you'll know what to expect when you go.

  Review: Anker Soundcore Life 2 wireless headphones (productReview)
  We can tell the difference when we double click the multifunctional button, but it mostly just seems like the vocals/higher range sounds become less prominent. The Life 2's 40mm drivers are intended to offer a rounded, rich listening experience - and that they do. They aren't incredibly bass heavy, which we don't mind - but they won't suit those who want to listen to a lot of house, hip hop or R&B.

  Top 10: Gifts for teenagers (Article)
  >> Read our full review Razor E-Prime electric scooter While Razor has been in the scooter game for as long as kids have complained about hitting their ankles with scooters, the E-Prime is their newest electric model with a max weight of 176lbs. You barely have to push the E-Prime to get it going because once it hits 3mph (which is a light push), the motor kicks in - giving you 40 minutes of electric-powered fun before you need to leave it for 4 hours for a full recharge.

  Top 10: Used Motorcycles for £3000 (Article)
  It’s based on the Suzuki’s design, so reliability isn’t in question and the rest of the GT650 is up to the same standards of finish. The clincher for us is you can all of this in a bike for £3000 that was sold new in 2015. We’d reckon on finding one with less than 10,000 miles and in perfect condition for this price. BMW K1200RS We could point you in the direction of several big-engined hyper tourers for this sort of money, but the BMW K1200RS does it all better than most rivals.

  Review: YI Smart dash cam (productReview)
  This is filmed at the highest resolution the camera offers - 1296p @ 30fps - and despite the annoying reflection in the windscreen (thanks Ford Fiesta...), it's clear and fluid. It's no 4K camera but it performs well in bright conditions and at night, adjusting the exposure automatically. You have to remember this is a £40 dash cam too - we've tested rivals at twice this price with vastly inferior footage.

  Review: Nonda Zus smart car charger (productReview)
  This does of course depends on the 12v socket (or cigarette lighters as they used to be called) but we tried the Nonda in various cars including a Ford Fiesta and Mercedes C-Class and it has stayed put It's not the most exciting of designs, although there's not much you can do with a USB charger, but the fact both USB ports are reversible, in other words there's no 'wrong' way to put in a USB lead, is handy when you're trying to plug something in when it's dark.

  Review: 70mai 4K T800 dash cam (productReview)
  width=602&height=401&mode=max" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/d7c6c1c9068746f4809bda6011dbe658" /> Should you buy one? The 70mai 4K T800's massive range of features are all aimed at making sure you and your car are protected, not least the fact that it supports a massive 512GB of storage. But if you’re just looking for a dash cam that gives you decent front and rear footage and ease of use, there are plenty of much cheaper options from the likes of Nextbase, Road Angel and Garmin.

  Review: Giant Revolt 0 gravel bike (productReview)
  Speaking of 105, the Revolt 0 uses a 105 cassette (11-34), Tigra-equivalent RX410 brakes and a FSA Omega Modular AGX+ crank.  The Revolt 0 uses Giant's own S-X2 disc wheelset, and these are fitted with   Maxxis Rambler tyres with a 42mm width. If you want to run something wider, the Revolt 0 has a clearance of up to 53mm in its 'long' flip chip position, or 45mm in its short position (more on that in a bit).
