Thieves can now find out if you have left expensive electrical equipment in your car even when it"s hidden out of sight in the boot. That"s because they are using wireless technology to locate valuables without breaking in, according to police. Bluetooth software allows users to detect compatible mobile phones, laptops, pocket PCs and camcorders within a 50-metre radius.
A possible brake defect...
A possible brake defect has forced Kia to recall the current-generation Sportage SUV. Nearly 3,000 have been sold this year, but only 816 - those built in April and May - are affected. Owners should contact their dealers for a free 40-minute replacement of the faulty handbrake components. It"s the second Sportage recall in three months.
