Source policy

How sources are selected, recorded and used in our articles.

We prefer the exact model manual, current manufacturer documentation, recognised professional bodies, UK regulators and other primary sources for factual claims. Product availability, included accessories, specifications and retailer destinations are dated and rechecked before publication.

Retailer pages are useful for UK packages, stock and current selling terms, but their marketing claims are not treated as independent conclusions. Owner feedback can reveal recurring points worth investigating; it does not replace a manual or establish a fact on its own.

Sources are linked on the relevant page where they help the reader and recorded internally with the exact claim they support. We do not reproduce manuals or articles in full.
