EASY SHIFTING
Nov 26th
This new Ten Tenths gear oil additive from Penrite is blended with Molybdenum and PTFE to aid gearshift quality in manual transmissions and to help stop noisy diffs from making a racket.

A solution could be at hand as Better Car Lighting of Warwickshire has teamed-up with a highly-regarded European headlight manufacturer to reproduce these high-quality items.
They have gained all of the relevant type approvals and this is the first time that conventional 7in round headlights have been developed More >

RIGID, OR SEMI-RIGID? IT DOESN”T MATTER
Nov 26th
DEI makes dozens of different heat-shield products including some that are self-adhesive or can be glued in place. However, sometimes a rigid or semi-rigid heat-shield is required that stands away from the surface a little, rather than be in direct contact with it; for example, when there are wires or fuel-lines that also need to be protected from the heat source.
That’s when the latest stand-off kit from DEI comes in handy.
The new DEI universal mounting kit for ridged or semi-ridged heat-shields comprise six stainless steel stand-offs with mounting bolts, nuts and washers. The kit will provide a 1/2in stand-off.

The MeacoHeat Motion Heater is the perfect product to keep your home warm and cosy throughout any cold spell.

It can be used as a standalone unit for spaces that may be less-frequently used, but still, require heating. A motion detection sensor means the unit will only be activated once a person walks into the room.
