The FR-V will be a six-seater...

The FR-V will be a six-seater, and features interior cues from the popular Jazz supermini. The seats, which tumble flat into the floor to give a completely level load area, have been arranged in a similar style to the Multipla"s, in two rows of three. Staggered middle chairs in both rows will increase legroom. A new safety idea features up front, where a single airbag extends across the width of the dash, rather than individual bags for driver and passengers.

More than 2,000 trucks and buses collide with bridges each year as drivers either forget the height of their vehicles or don"t see the warning signs. The infra-red sensors recognise high-sided vehicles as they approach, and trigger a special signal warning the driver to stop and find another route.

Holding a torch under the bonnet while working on a car isnò€™t ideal, as it leaves only one arm free to do the spannering. However, with Uni-Liteò€™s new headlight device you can use both hands at the same time.

Simply wearing the wrong...

Simply wearing the wrong clothes or having a dodgy haircut could cost you a sale. That’s according to a survey of more than 1,400 people carried out by leading auction website eBay.

An incredible 98 per cent of poll respondents admitted to instantly judging whether or not someone selling a car is trustworthy.

The attribute voted the least desirable was a moustache, with 92 per cent of people finding it off-putting. Gold jewellery (63 per cent), visible tattoos (54 per cent) and the use of a Bluetooth mobile phone headset (38 per cent) were all considered undesirable, too. And an incredible 50 per cent of those polled would prefer to remove the personal element of a used car deal entirely by using the website’s one-click ‘Buy It Now’ function. This stops the auction immediately at the seller’s preferred price.

When it comes to writing an advertisement to sell your car, the phrases which gain the most attention from potential purchasers are ‘non-smoking owner, no pets’, followed by ‘used as a second car’ and ‘one lady owner from new’.

Completing the top five most appealing descriptions were ‘full service history, including all bills and MoTs’ and ‘only used locally’.
