[Read more →]( [What automatic small SUV do you recommend?]( Posted by on 4 July, 2024 We are both in our late 70s and at present we drive a Suzuki Vitara which we bought new 2023. Due to knee problems we need to change to an automatic but Suzuki currently cannot supply an automatic. We are therefore looking for a small/medium SUV that gives us a bit of height. Would we be unwise to purchase a petrol only, or should we think hybrid or even fully electric, bearing in mind the cost of renewing batteries? We will probably keep the vehicle longer, instead of changing every three years as we have been doing.

When the sensor is unplugged it drives okay. What can I do?

I regularly see MPV taxis with side access steps fitted, sometimes nearside only and sometimes both sides, which jut out quite a way beyond the body work. The most extreme example is fitted to a Peugeot Boxer Utah parked near me, the non-folding side step must be 25cm wide and at least 15cm of that sticks out beyond the wheels. These look dangerous to me - they're higher than any kerb - primed to slice through legs should the vehicle travel too close to the pavement. Okay, wing mirrors protude as well, but they fold under impact and are made of plastic that would shatter or deform, whereas these side steps are rigid steel.They put me in mind of blades fitted to chariot wheels!

[Read more →]( [What's the best car for a family with two children?]( Posted by on 2 July, 2024 My London-based son and his family need to replace their problematic Mazda CX-5 in a hurry. They need a car to accommodate their two small children and all that goes with them on a daily basis and holidays. They would prefer a premium badge in a car that is good to drive, petrol, automatic and around 4.5m long max, due to their limited parking space. The car is used for a daily commute of about 30 mins each way and for regular longer trips.

She likes the sliding doors and wants an automatic and can add about £12k to the value of her Ford. What would you suggest?

I am looking for a steering lock for it but having been to Halfords none of the steering locks fit as the horn in the centre of the wheel sticks up a bit? [Read more →]( [What anti-glare tint would you recommend?]( Posted by on 1 July, 2024 I wish to reduce glare/UV entering through car side windows (driver and passenger). I would be be grateful if you could advise on products. The top quarter of the window would solve the problem as its when the sun is low in the sky that I have a problem. I understand that the law states that 70% of the light must still penetrate. [Read more →]( You received this email because you signed up to our mailing list.
