Autoglym has made car washing even more fun – as well as much easier – with the release of its superior Snow Foam – Polar Blast, applied through a jet-wash lance. As the perfect precursor to a wash routine, it reduces the risk of scratches and swirls by covering the vehicle in a spectacular rich blanket of foam that clings to paintwork to gently loosen and lift dirt and heavy soiling prior to shampooing. Best of all, if your car is only lightly dirty, Polar Blast can replace the shampoo stage altogether!

Developed in Autoglym’s industry-leading labs, Polar Blast produces an More >

Recent research into the maintenance of car tyres by British drivers suggests that 40 per cent of cars have dangerously uninflated tyres. The research, from Kwik Fit, showed that British drivers are risking their safety by driving on poorly maintained tyres. Underinflated tyres also make driving less efficient, meaning that it is costing drivers at the fuel pump as well.

To help, Ring, the vehicle lighting and car accessory specialist, has a complete range of tyre care devices that can help drivers to stay safe and save money.

A sudden loss of oil pressure can destroy an engine in seconds. The standard 7lb oil pressure switch fitted to classic Minis often gives the warning too late to save the engine.

Mini Spares new uprated 20lb oil pressure switch activates the warning light when the oil pressure drops to 20lbs giving the driver precious extra seconds to shut down the engine.

The oil pressure switch can be ordered as part number HPS1 at just £18.60 inc VAT, which seems like a small price to pay to protect your engine.

You can see the fastener but you know you can’t get a socket or driver bit onto it without dismantling half the engine! You need this new super-slim flexi-head ratchet from Laser Tools (part number 6744).

One end is a standard ¼in square drive and the other end is a ¼in bit driver; both are reversible and lockable. However, the big advantage is the flexi-head design – both heads swivel through a full 180º at the press of the button and lock into the required position.

The fully-polished ratchet handle is very slim and 300mm long for access to difficult areas, beautifully More >
