In fact, so seamless is the constant technological march that it often takes the launch of a specific, industry-defining product to make you stop and take stock, and Sunnycam Xtreme Video Recording Sunglasses are a case in point.

NEW CHOKE OVERHAUL KIT FOR YOUR WEBER

Weber 32/36 DGAV and 38 DGAS carburettors are used on millions of cars worldwide and combine the reliability and power of Weber with the convenience of a water-operated automatic choke.

Now the choke units on these popular carburettors can be overhauled by using the new Webcon overhaul kit.

The package contains 100 per cent genuine Weber parts including a bi-metallic unit, a die-cast water jacket and all the ancillary parts More >
