BREATHE THE PRESSURE… IF YOUR VEHICLE is occasionally losing its cool, there could be an issue with the cooling system – like, duh, as any o no ious ten year old would point out. Having worked that out, what do you do now? Short of putting it into the
dealership for an e pensi e check up, there’s not much you can do unless you have some data and facts to back up your feeling. Which is where this Cooling System Pressure Test Kit comes in. It contains everything you need to see what your cooling system is up to (there’s definitely a clue in the name here s a hand
operated pressure pump, a gauge reading in bars and psi, 16 adapters, connectors and everything else. The kit also contains a radiator pressure cap tester, so you should be able to work out what the system is doing. This cool kit is available from your preferred Britpart dealer – you’ll find who that is at www.britpart.com
TEMBO 4X4 LAUNCHES 110 ROOF RACK TEMBO 4X4 is a Dutch company that makes specialist kit for everyone from 4x4 owners to mining operators. Since they’ve been running now for 25 years, they probably got the name Tembo and the logo of an elephant long before the video game of the same name appeared. I’m quite sure you’re all familiar with Tembo the Badass Elephant,, which came out a year or two back. Great graphics. Anyway, in between making electric 4x4s to run in mines and other stuff they e made a roof rack for the efender tation agon fitting models from 1990 onwards). It’s made out of 6063 grade aluminium which Tembo modestly reckon means they make the ‘strongest, lightest and most reliable roof racks in the world’. The legs in the gutter spread the load well, and they have rubber ends to a oid damage while the fittings are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel. The design is not only light but also means you shouldn’t get the kind of noise when you’re driving along that makes you wonder if you have a choir doing its first recital on the roof

he racks cost uros and can e had powder coated in lack or silver or in a variety of other colours. You can order one here from www.fd4x4centre.nl. Right, I’m back to Tembo the Badass Elephant as I’ve nearly got enough points to get him an extra life via a can of peanut butter. Pray for me.
