Why you should choose DAB Radio
17 Apr 2013 | No Comments | posted by david | in News
I understand that when the Radio networks change from FM to DAB (scheduled sometime in 2015), that all FM Radios will cease to work unless you pay something like £ 200 or more to convert them
if you are Buying or Leasing a New Vehicle – choose to have the DAB Radio option to save you money & problems in a couple of years time

How often do you use your Air Conditioning ?
5 Oct 2012 | No Comments | posted by david | in News
British drivers spend £ 102 million a year servicing or repairing their Air Con Units
Ideally it should be used once a week even in winter. The refrigerant contains lubricants to operate smoothly, and if not used, faults are likely to develop
it should be serviced after 3 years and then every other year. Concerns that fuel economy will suffer if the Air Con is used are mainly unfounded, especially on long journeys.
