THINK YOU CAN’T AFFORD A USED MINI?


THINK AGAIN.


MOTOR,MiVTTER^^^^ ® THE first stretch of what is being


dubbed a superhighway was recently


opened. The stretch of widened motorway between junctions 12 and 15 of the notorious M25 is one of the busiest stretches of road in Europe.


. , This section of the motorway carries


250,000 vehicles a day, which is twice the capacity the road was originally planned to carry. The road widening has taken two years to complete and now this stretch has five lanes in both directions between junctions 12 and 14. Between junctions 14 and 15 this has been increased to six lanes in each direction. The work has cost £148 million, requiring


3,000 staff working 2.5 million man hours. The new road required 250,000 tonnes of asphalt, 100,000 cubic metres of concrete and 2,850 tonnes of reinforced steel. The super­ highway also includes a spur road to the planned new Heathrow Terminal 5.


A SCOOTER might have seemed like a


'O ' great idea in the balmy days of summer when you could happily cruise the streets in your shirtsleeves soaldng up the sunshine. You could just as easily have been in Paris or Naples then, but things have changed. Make sure your scooter is prepared for the


cold and wet, keep it well lubricated and store it inside if possible. Take extra care on the roads, look out for icy patches and ride at lower speeds in poor visibility. Get some good quality gloves and a waterproof jacket to make your ride as comfortable and s^e as pos­ sible.

ALTHOUGH it is now becoming a familiar sight on British roads, the


“new” Jeep Cherokee still has some way to go to match the durability of its predecessor. That model was around in various


incarnations for 17 years, and although this generation Cherokee has been steadily developed since its ' 2001 launch, such is the pace of change nowadays it is doubtful this ■ shape car will still be rolling out of dealerships in 2018. The year 2004 saw a revision to


the trim structure and now the Cherokee gets a big boost to its on­ road safety provision. It is starting to be an exception to


find a mainstream vehicle costing over £20,000 that is not fitted with some form of stability control device. These systems used to be rather basic, but have been refined over the years to work with high-sided vehi­ cles like the Cherokee. It is a simple fact of physics that


4x4s have a higher chance of rollover when performing extreme manoeu­ vres on tarmac than a low-slung sports car due to their centre of grav­ ity, but a decent stability control sys-


Hillendale


tem can do much to negate this threat. The ERM (Electronic R o l l . Mitigation) function uses the ESP. sensors to anticipate if the vehicle is entering a potential roll situation and goes to work in order to counter this threat. The ESP (Electronic Stability


Program) system fitted to the latest Cherokee has been developed in con­ junction with industry leaders Bosch and continuously compares the actu­ al behaviour of the vehicle with pre­ programmed reference values. The moment the car deviates from a nor­ mal pattern of behaviour, the ESP


system intervenes with a combina­ tion of braking and engine power reduction, counteracting the critical rotational movements that occur in


, the very first moments of a spin. 'Where the system really shows its


mettle is on the sort of mixed snow, ice and gravel surfaces that Jeep Cherokee owners will routinely test their vehicles upon. The Sport model features alloy


wheels and a spare wheel cover, while the Limited model gets satellite nav­ igation, part leather trimmed heated seats and an electric sunroof as stan­ dard. The best news is that prices

have not been raised a penny. In fact, when compared model for model with last year’s car, they are cheaper. The engine line-up remains a two-


way choice, albeit a fairly skewed one. There are four models fitted with the rugged 2.8-litre CRD com­ mon rail diesel and one with the rather thirsty 3.7-litre petrol 'V6. The 163 b.h.p. diesel will account for over 90% of all Cherokee sales. With 296 Ib/ft of torque, it is not


shy of muscle. It gets to 60 m.p.h. in a tad over 13 seconds and runs on to 108 m.p.h. Fuel consumption is pegged at 36.7 m.p.g.
