But after waiting for...

But after waiting for the smoke to clear, and having seen our lensman, the testers quickly closed the bonnet and crawled back to base for repairs. The car was the Hyundai Equus, and the Korean maker is putting the final touches to its flagship four-door. However, the mag"s pictures suggest there"s a lot more to be done on the reliability front.

This is Ford"s new oil-burning Mondeo ST TDCi - but bizarrely, considering its core market, its diesel engine will not comply with Euro IV emissions rules until 2005, leaving company drivers facing a three per cent tax penalty.

NABA - Nigel, Alan, Bob and Allard - might sound like a naff, boy band version of a Swedish pop group. But they"re just ordinary family blokes trying to get on with their lives. They"re law-abiding citizens who work hard and pay their taxes. Oh, nearly forgot: they also have a weakness for taxed and insured motor cars. Shame on them.

As winter closes in...

As winter closes in, so do the cold and damp ò€“ and even the best garages canò€™t protect your car completely. Thatò€™s where a dehumidifier such as this Prem-I-Air DD122FW-Mk2 comes into its own.

Instead of a traditional compressor, the newcomer has a wheel that contains porous granules which absorb up to seven litres of liquid every day. As the wheel has to be heated to release the water, it pumps out air at least 10 to 12 degrees Centigrade above the ambient temperature. This also means it is quieter and lighter than compressor-driven models.

There are variable fan speeds, and the operating temperature ranges from one to 40 deg C. The tank will hold up to two litres of liquid at a time and there is a continuous drainage facility, as well as a Nano Silver air filter that kills bacteria on contact.

The unit has a compact design and weighs 7kg, so itò€™s easily portable and can fit in narrow spaces in your garage.
