CLASSIC PROTECTION
Aug 27th
Classic Valvemaster – the fuel additive that saves kit classic cars from ethanol-rich petrol especially with the advent of E10 petrol in the UK from September 1.

OIL COOLING
Aug 27th
Merlin Motorsport chock full of Laminova Heat Exchangers – these are an alternative and very effective way of cooling your engine oil. In basic terms, the Laminova is a billet aluminium housing that is connected to the oil lines and the coolant (water) lines.
