IT’S ALL ABOUT MAGNETISM
Mar 3rd
Draining engine oil can be a messy job, even in a well-equipped garage, but it can also be dangerous. Hot oil can scald and waste engine oil may cause dermatitis or even cancer, plus of course, the sump drain plug usually drops into the drain pan! Laser Tools has something that might help save the day – a new magnetic sump plug tool.
It has an ultra-flexible steel cable and a super-strong magnet to firmly grip the sump plug. Simply loosen off the plug, then attach the tool and spin it off. No dirty oil on your hands, and the sump More >

The excellent RPX from RPS Ltd was officially unveiled to the world last Sunday at the International MG & Triumph show at Stoneleigh, where it met with very positive response.

PINTO GASKET
Feb 24th
We all know that it’s sensible to change cambelts at the recommended mileage but while doing that on Pinto engines it’s a good idea to change the rubber cam cover gasket at the same time.
Like cambelts, the rubber gasket has a finite lifespan so it makes sense to change it while you have the cam cover off. Burton Power has two versions of the SOHC Pinto Rubber Gasket available – ‘narrow’ for the Pinto to August 1983 and ‘wide’ for the Pinto from August 1983 onwards.
The early (narrow) version retails at £13.99 inc VAT and can be ordered as part number More >
FORGET FACTOR 55 – DEI IS THE HEAT PROTECTION TO HAVE!

The new ONYX™ Series Starter Shield from Design Engineering Inc. (DEI) provides reliable heat protection for starters under severe duty or extreme heat.

The outer layer is made from heat-treated glassfibre bonded with molten aluminium then formed into a tight weave for added strength and durability. The inner layer is made More >
BETTER THAN THE SOCKS AUNT DORIS BOUGHT YOU FOR CHRISTMAS!
Feb 24th
Eurax has announced that it is now a distributor of ISSE products, including the winter-friendly Super Snow Socks.
Snow socks have been around for a long time, of course and have established themselves as a superior solution to snow chains for driving in snow; they are easier to carry, fit and remove as well as being less expensive.
ISSE has taken things a step further by making the Super Snow Sock suitable for driving on tarmac (up to 50km/h, 30mph) while providing a better grip into the bargain.
They will work on patchy snow, slush and ice as well as deep snow; you More >
SPECIAL OIL FROM MINI SPARES
Feb 24th
Classic Mini A-Series engines and other classics from that era need a quality multigrade 20/50 engine oil. Lighter, modern oils tend to creep past the valve seals and produce visible smoke when the engine is pushed hard.
Also modern oils don’t have the same levels of protective zinc content as period oils did when the A-Series was new. These factors, along with the fact that 20/50 oils are getting harder and harder to find prompted Mini Spares to take the reins and offer their own brand of engine oil that is exactly right for Minis – and other classic car engines More >
