Nexen Tire is an original equipment supplier for the all-new Kia Seltos in Europe and North America, extending the supply arrangement for the Korean market it announced in March. For each of these key markets, the tyre maker will ship vehicle-specific fitments that it has optimised to regional road conditions and consumer preferences.

No two Jaguar models deliver exactly the same ownership experience. Some are built around luxury touring and refined comfort, while others prioritise agility, practicality, and everyday versatility. Because of this, maintenance needs can vary significantly depending on the model and how the vehicle is used. For Jaguar owners, understanding these differences can make maintenance more effective, helping preserve comfort, reliability, and long-term driving quality. This becomes particularly important when comparing long-standing luxury saloons with more modern compact SUVs such as the Jaguar E‑Pace, which introduced a different ownership experience to the brand’s lineup. The model launched in 2017 as Jaguar’s second SUV and combined premium styling with everyday practicality. 

Choosing a career can feel like standing at a crossroads with too many signs pointing in different directions. University, college, part-time work, training programs, short courses—where should a student begin? For many young people who enjoy practical work, solving problems, and learning by doing, a tyre technician apprenticeship can be a smart and realistic path. It offers hands-on experience, real wages, and a clear route into the automotive industry.

Long weekend trips can feel like freedom on four wheels. You finish classes, pack a bag, call your friends, and suddenly the open road looks like adventure itself. But for student drivers, excitement can hide real risks. A long drive is very different from going to school, work, or the local store. It asks more from your car, your body, and your decision-making. So, what should student drivers know before heading out for a long weekend? Quite a lot, actually. The good news is that most problems can be avoided with simple planning. Think of it like studying for an exam. You do not want to walk in unprepared and hope for the best. In the same way, you should not start a road trip without checking the basics first.

Halfords has reached a landmark in its garage modernisation programme with the opening of its 100th upgraded “new-look” site in Ashington, Northumberland.

Tyres are very very significant safety items on your car, and lots of drivers only start to consider them when the MOT tester tells them that they are losing their tread. As fuel costs remain expensive and roads continue to get crowded, the correct choice of tyres may save you a lot of comfort and money as well as lives.
