NO MORE POPEYE IMPRESSIONS!
Aug 24th
It is fair to say that if you drive a vehicle with power-assisted steering and it stops working, you soon notice the difference! While parking manoeuvres might negate the need for a gym membership, it’s probably still best to fix the actual reason it stopped.
The majority of T4s on the road are fitted with PAS and things may have become stiff in the steering department for a number of reasons. One scenario is that the pump, driven by the PAS belt, which directs pressurised fluid to the rack has failed.
The good news is that MEYLE offers several direct replacements for More >

THIS IS A BELTER
Aug 17th
Here’s a great product. It comes from Zirconite and is called Bead Magik and is described as a multi-surface water beading sealant or for those more into this sort of stuff as an advanced super-hydrophobic nano-coating that has been developed to maintain and enhance water repellency on a car’s bodywork regardless of whether it has a steel or GRP body.
The truth is it has been sitting on my shelf for months and I’d almost forgotten about it. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and I am glad that I did. An amazing product.
Spray it on then move More >

LANCIA MONTE CARLO BASED KITCAR? SEE THIS
Aug 17th
Whenever GAZ produce a one-off suspension component for a customer, they then add that part to their catalogue and make it available for other owners of that vehicle model.
This can sometimes lead to some quite obscure parts becoming available. One such example is the GAZ solid suspension mounts for the Lancia Monte Carlo and therefore several kitcars based on the same such as Lancia Stratos replicas, for example.
These billet aluminium mounts replace the rubber mounts used on production cars and provide a stiffer, more positive suspension location for cars that are used exclusively in competition or on trackdays. This ensures More >
