    Magnetic box for spare door/ ignition key on pickup truck??

    Do/ have any of you used a magnetic door/ ignition key box on any of your vehicles to store a spare key for your vehicle?

    Elecric vehicles

    In light of the current (pardon the pun) situation regarding energy supply security, is it a dangerous move to drive us into a corner regarding electric cars? Under investment in electricity generation has led to a situation where we are highly reliant on supplies from France via EDF which is in...

    Recommendations on the best cat seat covers available for normal active Hilux please? Fed up with uncomfortable ones, that slide around the seat and after 12 months loose their shape and keep popping of the seat!

    How long for an Ifor?

    I ordered a new IW trailer one year ago in January 2022 from a local tractor dealership and IW retailer. Nothing too exotic; just a 14ft stock box. I’ve enquired a couple of times recently but as yet I haven’t had a straight answer about the expected delivery schedule- just salesman patter. I do...

    Hilux Seat belt alarm

    Is there a way to disable the seat belt alarm on the current model hilux other than pulling the plug apart under the drivers seat?

    No brainer.

    Can anyone recommend a car/pickup with no brain or at least the simplest/cheapest/ easiest of brains to replace before I decide to jump off the nearest bridge? Ta.

    Toyota Land Cruiser

    Thinking about buying a Land Cruiser for the farm, like any vehicle they are not perfect and I’m not familiar with them but I know there’s things to watch out for like the rust, carbon in the oil and worn injectors. Is there anything else I should check when I get it up on a lift before buying...

    Hi I have been offered a 2005 Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 It has done 150K and the owner is asking £14K I have checked back and there have been some minor advisories in the past but nothing major and no mention of chassis corrosion.. Is 14K a reasonable price?

    The motors you miss.

    For me I have had no better motor than my Daihatsu 4trak, why were these things allowed to be discontinued. The only off roader I ever was in as good as it was an old Subaru forester we used for going round parks at home, So anyone else miss the old 4 tracks?
