WHAT A PERFORMER!
May 28th
Since the introduction of E5 and E10 ethanol content fuels, there has been a steady rise in cases of hot fuel handling issues. This has been especially evident in V8 engines such as the Rover 3.5-litre and 3.9-litre, where superior heat insulation under the carburettor is a necessity.
Webcon has an answer with a genuine Edelbrock heat insulator gasket to suit the Weber-Edelbrock Performer four-barrel carburettor.
The insulator is manufactured from an 8mm thick nitrile rubber composite and is available as part number 9266.
It is available from stock, priced at £44.08 inc VAT and comes with the required extended studs to take More >

Traditionally, adjusting the fuel pressure on an EFI system using an in-rail regulator has involved replacing the original fixed rate pressure unit with a higher pressure fixed unit.
Finding the optimum pressure meant having to experiment with different units, but now Webcon has a better answer.
Webcon part WFR060 is a quality, in-rail, 0-5 bar adjustable regulator that simply replaces the existing fixed pressure unit and allows the user to accurately set the pressure to the most suitable level with just one unit.
Webcon part WFR060 is available from stock priced at £83.08 inc VAT.

SMART CHARGING

With 286 million passenger cars across the EU, all with a battery, the company has developed the RSC804, RSC806 and RSC808 Smart Battery Chargers and Maintainers to keep drivers safer on the roads and able to easily restore power to their motorcycles, cars, 4x4s, vans and trucks.

PAMPER YOURSELF!
May 21st
Here’s a great product from a superb UK car care brand, Auto Finesse called Lavish a ceramic-based snow foam.
I like Auto Finesse as they are a boutique company that has grown quite large with its products now stocked on the shelves of Halfords. However, they still retain their enthusiast-led drive and passion and among their growing range lurk some outstanding products.
First off, Lavish has a wonderful scent which my nose tells me is either watermelon or a fruit salad chew. If I had to pick one, I’d say it was the latter.
The idea is not only does it help protect More >
