The Radiator Arms

This week, James, Ant and Will dig into the newly announced 3p-per-mile tax for EVs and ask the big question: will this ever actually happen? They explore what the tax means for everyday EV drivers, how it compares to the real-world running costs of petrol and diesel, and whether the policy makes sense at a time when manufacturers are already struggling to meet EV quotas.They also discuss implementation problems, data-privacy concerns, MOT mileage tracking, and whether this could impact EV adoption more than the government expects. It’s a practical, apolitical look at the realities of driving electric in the UK — and the unintended consequences this decision might create.Check out The Radiator Arms in-person events:https://www.tickettailor.com/events/jayemmandfriends★ Featuring:• James: https://youtube.com/@JayEmmOnCars• Ant: https://youtube.com/@sportzntouring• Will: https://youtube.com/@WillThePlank🕗 The Radiator Arms podcast releases every Monday at 7AM on YouTube.

It’s Christmas at The Radiator Arms, which means one thing: car-enthusiast gift chaos. James, Ant and Will go through the best, worst and most confusing Christmas car gifts — from genuinely useful tools and model cars to the presents no petrolhead actually wants. They also talk about nostalgic childhood gifts, bargain ideas, and the things you should probably avoid putting under the tree.Ant also mentions the Antigravity A1 360° Drone — more info here:https://www.antigravity.tech/drone/antigravity-a1/buy?utm_term=AGRIHT8★ Featuring:• James: https://youtube.com/@JayEmmOnCars• Ant: https://youtube.com/@sportzntouring• Will: https://youtube.com/@WillThePlank🕗 The Radiator Arms podcast releases every Monday at 7AM on YouTube.

This week, James and Will swap their worst breakdown stories — from running out of fuel on the motorway to cars catching fire, mystery electrical gremlins, and the recovery services that somehow make a bad day even worse. They also read your listener submissions, including some truly heroic (and slightly chaotic) rescue attempts.It’s a mix of storytelling, catharsis, and the kind of car-person misery we can all laugh about once we’re safely home again.★ Featuring:• James: https://youtube.com/@JayEmmOnCars• Will: https://youtube.com/@WillThePlank🕗 The Radiator Arms podcast releases every Monday at 7AM on YouTube.

Are modern cars getting worse to use? In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant and Will dive into the modern car gimmicks that drive everyone mad — from touchscreen controls and capacitive buttons to fake exhausts, overprotective ADAS systems, and those inconsistent electric handbrakes that seem to have a mind of their own.They explore why so many car features we hate are becoming standard, how car design mistakes keep slipping through, and why some tech makes driving less enjoyable rather than better. It’s a mix of car culture, good-natured ranting, and the kind of car chat every enthusiast will recognise.★ Featuring:• James: https://youtube.com/@JayEmmOnCars• Ant: https://youtube.com/@sportzntouring• Will: https://youtube.com/@WillThePlank🕗 The Radiator Arms podcast releases every Monday at 7AM on YouTube.
