For more than 120 years, British company Castrol has been at the forefront of oil technology. Company founder Charles Wakefield launched his first vehicle engine oil in 1906, a pioneering blend of mineral and castor oils that offered unrivalled lubrication properties. Since then, and through many further innovations, Castrol oils have lubricated the beating heart of everything from speed records to Mars missions.

Interestingly, Castrol was the first company of its kind to promote its products through sponsorship, which swiftly led to advertising and merchandising. By 1946, when the iconic Castrol Classic branding was launched, Castrol offered a wide range of More >

This one isn’t a kitcar OBVIOUSLY but there’s going to be a lot of interest in this new Super 3 from Morgan, especially among specialist car enthusiasts.

If you have driven a Focus ST, then you’ll be familiar with this engine.

The S&S motor was originally around that power output, but emissions regulations meant that in later years it was More >

Harnessing novel construction and material technology derived from its race-winning motorsport programme, Falken’s all-new AZENIS FK520 UHP tyre for performance and SUV applications offers motorists greater stability and fuel efficiency.

Falken’s ‘flagship’ next-generation AZENIS FK520 will initially come in 81 sizes, ranging from 17in to 21in, with a Y speed rating (300km/h).

Structurally stronger thanks to race-derived Aramid, the AZENIS FK520 assures motorists of more precise steering behaviour, while a 10 per cent weight reduction in comparison with its predecessor, the FK510, means decreased unsprung mass and rolling resistance, improving fuel efficiency.

One of the bugbears of modern motoring is having the ‘Check Engine’ light come on, paying for a garage to check it out and finding that it’s not an engine fault, but the sensor ‘playing up’.

There are many reasons for a sensor giving a false warning or actually fail. Some can be prevented by fitting DEI’s new Thermal Sensor Covers.

DEI Thermal Sensor Covers will protect delicate sensors, plugs and wire connectors from heat, moisture and dirt. They are made from an aluminised insulation material that acts as a thermal barrier for sensitive wire connections and the sensors themselves.
