Nextbase 622GW dash cam
Price: £229

A dash cam is a wise investment for any driver. It provides an extra eye on the road, particularly handy after recent Highway Code changes, and you can often use the footage when making an insurance claim. The Nextbase 622GW is a great choice, with features including 4K recording, digital image stabilisation and what3words compatibility built in. You’ll also get a further layer of security thanks to SOS Response and Intelligent Parking Mode. The 622GW is available from Halfords, Argos and Nextbase directly with a £20 discount valid until the end of March.
Autoglym QuickRefresh
Price: £14.99
Contact: autoglym.com/products
Autoglym’s QuickRefresh is ideal for those who love to take care of their car, but often find themselves strapped for time. Just dilute the solution in water, then wipe on and off for a fast application. It’ll improve your vehicle’s appearance, and will help to bridge the gap between more thorough washes. QuickRefresh uses microemulsion technology to lift layers of surface contaminants, minimising the risk of scratches and swirls. It also works with current Autoglym car care products, so it’ll complement the effectiveness of any existing coatings you may be using.
Pioneer VREC-170RS
Price: £109.99
Contact: pioneer-car.eu/uk
Pioneer’s latest front-facing dash cam offers full HD recording, and plenty of useful safety features like front collision and lane departure warnings. With a 139-degree lens, you’ll get a great view of the road ahead, while the VREC-170RS is also handy for capturing footage when the car is parked.
Atera Genio Pro Advanced
Price: £474.95
Contact: roofbox.co.uk
Keen cyclists looking to transport their bikes may want to take a look at the Genie Pro Advanced carrier from German firm Atera. It’s designed for small and large bikes of up to 30kg, meaning it’s suitable even for long-wheelbase electric mountain bikes or ‘e-MTBs’. When not in use, a folding system makes it easy to collapse and store the Genio Pro. Plus, it tilts far enough to allow vertical tailgates to open, and an optional adaptor will let you carry a third bike.
