Disadvantages: Have to pay for them.

The items being reviewed here, were designed for use on racing cars, the idea being to stop the bonnet from flying open during racing, Originally they were made from rubber, and these are still available today. Theyse are sold as a pin kit. These ones are ... Read review

I saw a car with these on the other day and wondered what they were....now I know! x by HotBabes

On my first car the bonnet used to fly up all the time. I eventually superglued slinkysprings to the edge of the windscreen. It worked a charm, even if it did look like my Saxo had been pimped by a blind, retarded person. xx by tallulahbang

I've only used these once but compared with chains they were much easier to fit and once on, you didn't notice they were there except for the significant increase in grip! After use you just throw them in the washing machine. No broken or rusty chains to deal with. I like them so much I've got a pair for each car and would recommend them to anyone.

Advantages: Keeps the windscreen clear, low price per use
Disadvantages: The flip spout on my version was not efficient

Advantages: Only the looks - if they appeal to you.
Disadvantages: Not very good in my opinion.

If you hear the name Momo, you will immediately think of minute steering wheels, fitted to old minis and the like, not very practical, or comfortable, very brash, very ugly too. Perhaps you see them as purely for the racing fraternaty, and you would be ri ... Read review

Ordered a battery for an Audi A4 - not an uncommon car you might think. They didn't phone by promised time to book appointment. 2 calls later said they were having trouble getting battery. 2 more calls later still unable to find a battery! Basically I think the franchisee (who was covering another area) couldn't be bothered to come out. Overall, for a company who hold themselves out to be the major e-fitting service my experience has been extremely disappointing and I won't be using them again.

Advantages: Can make your car look sporty - to you?
Disadvantages: Can look tacky.

the fuel cap cover being reviewed here, is actually a stick on cover for the plastic flap that covers the fuel cap, the idea being it makes your car look like it is fitted with a quick release rascing type fuel filler. Personally I think the idea is a ... Read review

They do not work! Of course they do not work, what the hell are you talking about! Magnofuel are just another fuel saving scam, and another magno scam. Look at it this way, if they worked they would be on every vehicle on the road, governments would make them compulsory, haulage firms would fit them.... it is such an obvious scam, smake oil, a con...

I am still very confused why people don't CONVERT TO LPG!? Have a look at the GENUINE benefits of an LPG conversion at CompareLPG.com - the UK's ONLY truly impartial advisory and bookings service who work closely with the UKLPG governing body. 50% cheaper fuel, 20% less Co2 emissions, 1 in 5 garages has it and a conversion will only cost about £1600... which for most drivers will pay for itself in less than a year, assuming fuel does not increase in price that is. Have a read on the CompareLPG.com website and give them a call - it's free!

I was recommended Etyres by my colleague and so went to their website and got a fantastic price. Made a saving of nearly 100 quid on both my rear tyres. Excellent service, the driver called in advance so I knew exactly when they would arrive. They came over to my work address and within 15 minutes the tyres were replaced, balanced and fitted. What more could I ask for!
