NO MORE POPEYE IMPRESSIONS!
Aug 24th
It is fair to say that if you drive a vehicle with power-assisted steering and it stops working, you soon notice the difference! While parking manoeuvres might negate the need for a gym membership, it’s probably still best to fix the actual reason it stopped.
The majority of T4s on the road are fitted with PAS and things may have become stiff in the steering department for a number of reasons. One scenario is that the pump, driven by the PAS belt, which directs pressurised fluid to the rack has failed.
The good news is that MEYLE offers several direct replacements for More >
HURON AUTO RACE DEVELOPMENTS
Aug 24th
STEVE HOLE tells the story of the short-lived Huron Auto Race Developments, a real ‘one that should have been’ if ever there was one.
Kingston-on-Thames High Street was a hotbed of motorsport activity in the sixties. There was V.W. Derrington and TDC Components virtually next door. Opposite was a large Heron Service Station and behind that was the promising Huron Auto Race Developments operation set up in 1971 by Canadian businessman Jack Smith and his friend Roy Ireland along with Swiss designer Jo Marquart, ex-McLaren and GRD.
The team unveiled a sports racer in 1971 called the M4A and shortly after a Formula More >

THIS IS A BELTER
Aug 17th
Here’s a great product. It comes from Zirconite and is called Bead Magik and is described as a multi-surface water beading sealant or for those more into this sort of stuff as an advanced super-hydrophobic nano-coating that has been developed to maintain and enhance water repellency on a car’s bodywork regardless of whether it has a steel or GRP body.
The truth is it has been sitting on my shelf for months and I’d almost forgotten about it. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and I am glad that I did. An amazing product.
Spray it on then move More >
