Here’s some good news to brighten your day: it’s completely possible to extend your engine’s life by thousands of miles. And here’s some better news: you don’t need any specialist mechanical knowledge to achieve this. A spoonful of patience, a dollop of common sense, and a frosting of prompt action will do just fine. The… read more
Here at WVS, we love our cars. Of course we do – they’re how we make a living. But when 68% of the UK population travels to work by car – more like 80% in Wales – that means a lot of cars on the road. Inevitably, that means congested roads, and all the boredom… read more
A few years back, we penned an article called Cheesy Car Sales Tactics That Refuse To Die. Sadly, we had to bin it from our online archive (it’s a long story), but we’re revisiting the idea now… because as it turns out, cheesy car sales tactics never really go away. They’re just being replaced… read more
Not all of us have 40 or 50K lying around to slosh on a decently quick car. So it’s good to know that there’s plenty of choice out there with those of us with a more modest budget. Let’s say 10K. What do we mean by a quick car? Well, that obviously depends on what… read more

So it gives us no pleasure to report that… read more
Last time, we looked at how Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk had potentially alienated some of his client base, as well as deterring future owners. If that turns out to be the case, who will benefit? That’s what we’ll look at this time. Step up, Chinese manufacturers. The obvious candidates standing to gain from a Tesla… read more
Not so long ago, Teslas were pretty cool cars to own. OK, they were never for everyone. But if you wanted to be in the vanguard of electric motoring, own something different, enjoy melt-your-eyeballs performance and swish around in an ultra-minimalist interior, there wasn’t much competition. And Tesla owner Elon Musk? He was Tech’s shiniest… read more
In Part One of our article, we showed how the public have got mixed feelings about speed cameras. The majority think that our photo-snapping, fine-issuing friends do save lives. However, a substantial number also think cameras are put in places where they will generate cash for the authorities. Our conclusion in that post was that… read more
Last time, we finished our post on five types of UK speed camera and how they work with this old and thorny question: are speed cameras a vital part of our road safety measures?
