Recently noticed when I have the tow ball mounted bike rack on the car, steering assist is disabled.
I understand that some things don't work with a trailer etc attached - like blind spot monitorin ...

Depends on how much space you have and how well you like to look after your interior.
For me garage space is at a real premium and I don’t want scuffs/scrapes etc on the interior. A valet won’ ...

Just for the benefit of anyone else who might be considering one of these, I did buy it in the end and have to say I couldn't be more pleased. It's incredibly versatile and barely takes up any space ...

Well I'm not sure what to make of it really. I've put the SIM in two different mobile phones and can use mobile data with the initial allowance no problem. Put the SIM in the car and it picks up the ...

Hi,
I brought a 3 PAYG mobile broadband sim as many here have suggested, for European travel as I find UBIGI reception to be very poor in France.
I fitted it in the U.K. to ensure it worked prop ...

I have the wingbar evo’s. They’re ok for the roof box, allow for plenty of adjustment. No noise with the box on but they do whistle at ~30-40mph without the box which is annoying if you want to ...

Just wondering if anyone has a ‘Foldy’ trailer and if so how you get on with it?
I’m reluctant to fill my nice D5 up with filthy junk to go to the tip so given that I have a tow hook, a trail ...

Anyone removed the lugs and just stuck them on, as per DangerDave's suggestion?

Did you fit these? Was looking at getting some with the view that if I don't like them I could always remove later. Reading the instructions I see you have to drill a hole in the bumper to fit the r ...

Still using the Milenco, not constantly but if the car is on the drive overnight and not blocked by another or if I'm in a particularly dodgy area or abroad.
Still going with having the wheel turne ...

Well the Wingbar Edge are ok, the rear bar could do with being a little shorter for long loads as the furthest back it will mount is about 5cm in front of the LR bar position.
I did find they give ...

So I've tried it in several positions:
At the top with the wheel straight, bar pointing left - this seems to be the best and most convenient fit but you could certainly drive it on the open road l ...
