i have a work van, now basically a shed, as i am retired, and the van doesnt get used much, and has been trouble starting. thought i would try this. once started let it ran for awhile, but next day, started ok, and from b'laws little job, again she started with ease, so i may but some more for my diesel saab, it may improve milage too, but this saan 1.9td sems to run on air anyway. thanks again

The sliders work perfectly well. They were awkward to fit, but a spare pair of hands fixed that. The only negative is that the adjustment bar is hard on the floor so you can't get fingers underneath to lift it up. I had to fit spacers under the runners.

Genuine classic car type cable and looks the same as a car from 40 years ago, but with a modern touch as it’s more flexible, brightly coloured and yet still has the familiar pvc type coating to clamp/solder spade connectors.

Very happy to find a aluminium piece, that I've used to replace a weak plastic thread molded into an aftermarket radiator top hose. Had to replace the "correct" design hose 3 times after the OE hose failed and leaked around the thread for the fan switch after 25 years. And all three replacement pipes kept leaking coolant around the fan switch regardless of how tight and with coolant resistant silicone..

Nicely made extrusion, hard rubber base with softer foam seal, looks really neat when installed. We did need to shave the base to take it down to 10mm, but there is plenty room for that type of cutting.

What a book you can get very thing for rebuilding a car I am in the middle of rebuilding a discovery td5 it will help me a lot in finding parts .

This is a really secure way to ensure that the spare wheel is held in place and simple to use, so much better than a ‘spider’ bungee and it gives a professional look.

Item was as expected and at a reasonable price. I've given a 5 star rating but it was a bit fiddly to fit and didn't come with any instructions. It, however, does the job and therefore deserves a good rating.

The flasher unit sent to me 2 pin I ordered a three pin which you didn’t have in stock so I revived the 2 pin then I purchased a electronic one 3 pin which when used on emergency flash mode all 4 lights flashing the flasher unit failed so not happy yes it’s wired correctly as per diagram on your flasher arm I got from yourselfs

When these arrived i was pleasantly surprised by there sturdiness. I was recommended these as they have curved glass to give a larger field of view and they are very nice.

Prior to the MOT on my Hawk Cars Cobra, I was checking lights etc, on checking the washers, the pump had stopped working. Fortunately the builder must have bought a pump from you many years ago because you had the exact same one right down to the sticker on it, so I knew it would be a direct replacement, and yes, it passed its MOT!! 👍

Had loads of fun with this looking at old fittings which we had no idea of gauge. Sorry no pics yet but it’s really helpful for a custom old G Wagon build we are doing.

Nice neat solution, didn't need the whole kit though such as the washer jets, so it would be good to able to just buy the bottle/pump assembly on its own.

basically used straight away, as my other two seen better days, especially recieving a new battery, delivered with 10.76 volts, van had 12.71. so i charged this new battery, with 4 yr warranty, after a full charge, let it settle, 20.88 registered on new meter. think i was sold old stock, or brand new second ! but with out that i may have put staright on van, and wondered why it wouldnt start !!!! got my money back and they said i could keep it. only good for ? good scrap value

Great product! better than keep undoing and doing up your battery terminals, bought one for my 1968 Mustang that I'm doing up a couple of years ago, my son has mothballed his JCW Mini so bought this one so that we could turn over the engine every few weeks or so.

This is the best foot pump. The gauge is accurate and it inflates quickly even though it’s a bit of a workout. The price was excellent and delivery was very fast.

The push button I bought; the dimensions, wire color coding was really correct and accurate I really like it and the looks is good because this is what I replaced those electrical switch of my classic mini cars.

I make these known as firewall box's for race cars which have the fuel tank and pump etc all inside of it for safety your slide Latch secures the hinged lid

After making a mistake in my original tube layout, I had to order another bundy tube. I was able to finish the project with this extra piece. Thanks for the quick shipping all the way to southern California.

Never heard of this publication, or the company until very recently. I only wish I could have had access to the catalogue back in 1996 97 when I built my Locost (one of the first built from the book) it would have saved a lot of head scratching & made life much easier.

The product itself was excellent. I however ordered the wrong size for my application. Im running a Tesla model 3 brake booster in my old school Chevy truck and found that after I bent and installed everything that I would need a bigger size due to internal pressure in the lines due to the electric motor in the booster...

I cut off the lugs and drilled 3 x holes (had someone else do it- really hard material! Now I have cool roof mounted mirror that I can see out of.

A lovely set of hinges. I was originally going to mount the bonnet with the hinges concealed, but they are so nice that they will be on top of the bonnet and boot lids.

i enjoy the simple fact that if you show its in stock i generally get my bits within 2/3 days, unlike some companys that show it in stock until you have paid and then send notice that we dont have it so thanks again for being honest

This crimping tool or similar is essential when using SuperSeal connectors. It makes a potentially wasteful (through mis-crimps) and frustrating task relatively simple. The only minor issue experienced, which appears to be common to this tool, is that the lower handle grip can slide off the handle when under maximum load at the end of the crimp.

I had an overheating problem on my 1940 Plymouth P10, it has a 5 litre lump in her so gets pretty warm under the bonnet, investigating I had a 10 inch fan trying to cool the amount of heat. Purchased this 16 inch fan that covers the radiator, I let the engine warm up and gauge started after a while to go in the red, turned the fan on and you can feel the power, you can watch the temp gauge go down in front of your eyes in no time at all, highly recommend this fan

Good stuff! When laying it in bowed areas such as footwells one has to allow for the thickness of the material and its ability to bend. But well worth the effort!

So useful when you have such a comprehensive catalogue to browse through like this. I'm a bit old-school and do love a decent catalogue that I can quickly look through for parts and idea's

I purchased catalogue as I find it easier to browse than using a web page. Well laid out with extra information which is helpful for a non experienced amateur. Let's hope the restoration work is completed swiftly.

took dead locks of van and connected solenoids to return central locking. no more having to carry master key everytime I want to gain access to back of the van. should have done it long ago. So simple to fit, delighted

Can’t send pic as is now located under the car. Very satisfied, as the clip is 100% stainless steel. The last bracket I used was stainless steel except for the fastening bolt which was heavily corroded.

Surprisingly easy to fit, although threading the ties in between the radiator vanes felt a bit counter intuitive! Not sure how easy it would be to remove, but hopefully that will never arise...

Great catalogue. Virtually every part you'll ever need to build or repair a kit car, repair a project, or build a race car all in one place and you can order it all from the sofa.

Great to have metric brass coupling enabling me to re use a steel brakehose (left over from a previous project) as my flexi clutch hose, but keeping the same look as my brake pipes.

All 3 items I bought are excellent quality and am pleased with my purchase and the time taken to pack and deliver. This item is ideal for priming a diesel engine. Saves having a separate electric fuel pump only needed to clear airlocks or refill empty fuel lines and filter.

The lamps are a good price , robust and are very bright , they are used on my Sidecar Outfit which is used off road . Spot lamps are a bit prone to getting broken , hence I bought two as replacements , good kit.

I have three old JBA Falcon kitcars that all require the IVA test. Having a parts supplier that can advertise items as IVA compliant is most helpful. Knowing that certain parts can get your vehicle through this dreaded test is a big relief.

Very well made item and will do the job I bought it for very well. The only small criticism is that the internal bore size of the inlet and outlet connections is undersized and I have redrilled them to the correct size to maintain flow rate.

I like what byou sell but with a multi purchace can we have all items on one page for feed back! If I ordered 50 items I would be here all Night!
