Is this the key to never getting lost? The Freedom Keychain GPS SiRF III may have a big name, but it’s the most compact sat-nav receiver in the world – and it’s small enough to attach to a car’s keyfob. It uses Bluetooth technology and can connect with smart mobile phones and PDAs to provide location data for their navigation software.

Having achieved a high rating from Euro NCAP for the Kuga, Ford is hoping to score points with drivers – by introducing new adjustable pedals on its cars.
The ?100 option is an evolution of the US system and lets owners of manual and auto Focus and C-MAXmodels move the pedals up to 55mm closer to the seat to boost comfort at the flick of a switch.
At the same time, Ford is also launching a green ECOnetic version of the Mondeo. The car gets subtle changes to boost its eco credentials. It has been lowered, the front bumper skirt and rocker claddings updated and a rear spoiler added to improve aerodynamics. The five-door’s 123bhp 1.8-litre TDCi diesel gives 0-62mph in 10.4 seconds. Yet it returns 53.3mpg and emits only 139g/km of CO2. Prices start at ?18,455 when it goes on sale in July.
