    colway gtrax at tyre

    i think colway have gone bust so they are almost impossible to get hold of unless you can find a part worn one , what about putting an inner tube in yours ?

    Power steering pump pressure

    it all depends on the size of your the master and slaves cylinders how fast it will work cos im pretty sure it will give the pressure if set up correctly cos can use large hydraulic presses that give over 20 tons of force and they are only powered buy a hand lever so a power steering pump should...

    Traction Control on a TD5 Defender

    is it just me or does that sound a bit dangerous ? say your clutch cylinder went and you couldnt disengage the clutch how would you be able to stop it and i know you could just pull the gear stick into neutral but in the lower gears with the engine trying to pull the car its not always easy to...
