I have recently acquired An X1 X Drive with a factory fitted tow bar and electrics, on using the car on our first outing I discovered that the refrigerator was not working whilst driving.

A bit of info that surprised me, but may be of interest to other current or potential BMW X drive cars. I have a 2019 X5 (22000 miles) with X drive (for those who don’t know, that’s the intelligent 4 wheel drive system that allocates power independently to each wheel, various other manufacturers have something similar). It…

Can somebody please advise us on the best route to tow a 26 ft caravan to Crickhowell from Carmarthen. Heads of the Valleys or Llandovery/ Brecon route? Many thanks in advance.

Personally I can see no advantage in doing this, particularly in my car which has quite a thick door pillar which blocks the view. I've found it far, far better to carry on with the method I have used for many years and that is…
Hello, Our new Suzuki Vitara 1.4 Mild Hybrid Auto is going to ready with the dealer to collect next week. The spec was supposed to include a rear view camera, but because of Infotainment system supply issues, if we went for an automatic, it would not include a factory fitted rear view camera. It would come with a Sat Nav…
