QUALITY WATER PUMPS
Oct 26th
Mechanical belt-driven water pumps take a significant amount of power to operate. The Davies, Craig EWP80 Electric Water Pump not only rid your engine of parasitic power loss, it also increases cooling capacity to eliminate heat soak for better engine temperature control and reduced fuel consumption.
The lightweight aluminium EWP80’s design allows for easy mounting into the bottom radiator hose. It delivers 23.78 GPM of coolant flow at 12 volts while drawing only 7.5 amps.
The pump is recommended as a replacement for mechanical water pumps on naturally aspirated engines up to two litres. It’s also ideal for use as an auxiliary More >
NO HEAT SOAK FOR MX-5
Oct 26th
The surprisingly warm early autumn weather means that Mazda MX-5 – or kitcars based on same – owners can go on enjoying their cars for longer this year, but when it’s unseasonably warm, the last thing you want is more heat coming through the firewall, floor or transmission tunnel.
That’s where the latest offering from DEI comes in. The DEI Thermal & Acoustic Kit for the 1990-2005 MX-5 insulates the interior from radiating heat but when the weather does change it will keep the interior warmer so you can continue driving long into the winter months.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE HEAT
Oct 26th
Laser Tools has just introduced its new Heat Inductor Kit (part number 8680), a versatile and powerful tool that utilises advanced heating technology to loosen rusted or seized nuts, bolts, and other components.
Advanced heating technology: the heat inductor uses induction heating (rated at a powerful 1000W), to rapidly and precisely heat targeted metal components. This process effectively expands the metal, breaking the rust or corrosion bond without damaging surrounding materials. This allows for a quick and efficient method of loosening seized or corroded metal components without the need for an open flame. The result is a much safer and more More >
BED BUGS BAD; BEETLES GOOD
Oct 26th
With winter well on its way, it is a good time to think about where you might store your car during the colder, darker, and wetter months.
Without access to a cosy garage, a driveway or the street outside is probably the best we can hope for, but there is much more to keeping your car covered outside than an old tarpaulin.
Sadly, the simple tarp will do more harm than good with the condensation it creates on the inside, and its less than paintwork-friendly plasticised coating.

KEEP WARM IN YOUR GARAGE THIS WINTER
Oct 26th
Machine Mart has grown their extensive range of heaters with two new efficient Clarke Devil models.
The first of these models is the Clarke Devil 370SPD Remote Controlled Quartz Halogen Heater. Providing instant, clean, odour-free infrared heat, this heater is ideal when spot heating of objects or persons is required. The elements will only heat solid objects, rather than air, which makes this heater extremely efficient as 95 per cent of input energy is converted into heat output.
The 370SPD is made of rugged all-steel industrial casing and is mounted into a lightweight tubular frame. It features a swivel head for direction-specific More >

NEW HOME IN POLAND FOR DUTTONS REEF AND SURF
Oct 19th
News that Tim Dutton has sold his eponymous amphibious car manufacturing business including the Reef and Surf models to Polish sea-plane manufacturer, Kama EKO Group, run by Adam Kloska.
Production of both Dutton models will re-commence in early 2024, although Kama are well-versed with Tim’s products having acted as his agent in Poland for several years.
If you thought that Tim would be retiring, you can forget that. As he told me recently and quite incredulously, “Retire? What on earth would I do with myself?”
He’ll now concentrate on buying and selling pre-loved Dutton Amphijeeps, Mariners, Commanders, Reefs and Surfs. Keep up with More >
UP FOR GRABS AT CAR AND CLASSIC – A STUNNING AUTOTUNE ARISTOCAT
Oct 19th
Jaguar’s XK120 ushered in a new era for the firm, one characterised by wins on Sunday and sales on Monday. Utterly beautiful and as quick as anything else on the road, original cars are sought after and command prices nudging the stratosphere.
For those who admire the XK120 but have slightly less deep pockets, there is the Aristocat by Autotune. It was developed with permission from Jaguar and designed to run on the firm’s more recent running gear, mainly six- or 12-cylinder XJ or XJS. Autotune offered it as a kit that could add in their own personalisation during the construction.

BETTER CAR LIGHTING ANNOUNCE LED LUCAS L512 REPLACEMENT
Oct 19th
This elegant lump of chrome and glass graces the back of the Jaguar XK150, Jaguar Mk2 and several other Jaguar cars of that era. In good condition, it is a thing of beauty but is a little dim and more decorative than useful. It is a number plate light, reversing light and shines into the boot to illuminate in there when the lights are on.
The Better Car Lighting LED upgrade kit has been developed to address the weaknesses of this light unit and to add more functions, to allow cars with it to enjoy the extra safety that modern cars take More >
