BRIGHT LIGHTS
Jul 4th
New from Ring Automotive are these new Xenon 5000 headlight bulbs. They have a bright, white light and match the LED colour of daytime running lights without HID or LED technology.
Modern vehicle lighting often incorporates very white LED DRLs and in addition to being strikingly bright, they run at a very high temperature.
As most modern cars have standard halogen lights headlight bulbs this can lead to a mis-matched look between white DRLs and the car’s headlights, which a yellow-tinted glow albeit running at much lower temperatures.
However, Ring’s latest performance headlight bulb, Xenon5000 is different. It emits a very bright, white More >
GOOD CIRCULATION

Another cool product from Merlin Motorsport is this Bosch Electric Water Pump.
It’s actually branded as a Davies, Craig item but is actually made by Bosch, this little water pump is ideal for fitting into the heater hoses of your cooling system.
If you are still using a conventional mechanical water pump, this pump can be used to boost the water flow around the engine and can then be left on after the engine is shut down to help prevent heat soak as the coolant temp can be known to creep up after the engine is shut down due to it not More >

MOTHERS KNOW BEST!
Jun 27th
The latest product from leading US car care behemoth, Mothers is CMX Ceramic Spray Coating.
Having heard the hype about CMX via various YouTube videos and American friends, I was looking forward to trying it out.
Even though I love cleaning my cars and Carol calls me an ‘addict’ I have tended to shy away from ceramic coatings. I’m a bit scared of them, to be honest. They can give outrageously effective and long-lasting shine but they can also be a pig to apply and for the best results they need to ‘cure’ for 12-hours and mustn’t get wet during that time.

MAKES WATER WET …EH?
Jun 27th
Here’s a neat product from Merlin Motorsport.
The ‘go-to’ coolant additive when the temperature gauge starts rising is Red Line Water Wetter. While the name sounds a bit odd, it’s one of Merlin’s best-selling fluids and racers swear by it.
Water Wetter improves the ability of coolant to wet heat transfer surfaces by up to 50 per cent. Basically, this provides better coolant contact in the cylinder head and reduces head temperature by up to 12°C. It improves heat transfer to the metal of the engine and doubles the wetting ability of the water.
Works best in a total water cooling system but More >
AFFORDABLE WELDERS FROM MACHINE MART
Jun 27th
New from Machine Mart – MMA/ARC welding uses a coated consumable electrode (stick) to lay the weld; therefore, an additional welding kit is not required.
The arc melts the core of the electrode to produce drops of molten metal (weld pool) that cool to create the weld joint.
Because of the versatility and simplicity of MMA welding, it requires less skill and is used primarily to weld iron and steels (including stainless steel) but nickel and copper can also be welded with this method.
This welder can output between 20 and 200A with an input voltage of 230V /50Hzand prices for this range More >
