Visibility is everything. With Champion’s AeroVantage wiper blade range offering state-of-the-art wiper manufacturing technology and the most complete combination of features and benefits available, you can be confident you’re getting the best and safest visibility for passenger vehicles. * Comprehensive range covers 99 percent car parc * Pre-fitted “easy-clip” adapter * Unique “replacement reminder” * Great aerodynamics and silent wipe Most Durable Construction Ever The integrated spindle reduces angular play, increases integral strength and eliminates component wear to provide best-ever paint coverage and corrosion resistance. The “square” rubber retention claws provide excellent articulation and better wipe control, and permit the blade to follow the screen profile correctly. Replacement Reminder Indicator This indicator provides a visible safety message from both inside and outside the vehicle. It is a water-soluble black “ink” coating that dissolves over time to expose a white line on the rubber refill. Easy to Fit The pre-fitted easy-clip adaptor means that AeroVantage blades will fit 98 percent of applications instantly and eliminates almost all user assembly, greatly simplifying the fitting process. Aerodynamic Rubber Profile The aerodynamic profile provides enhanced wiping stability, a more silent wipe and improved wind-lift performance at high speeds. It lessens traction stress on pivot and deformation, giving a better control of the wipe attack angle. Advanced Spoiler Design The lightweight design results in outstanding high-speed wind-lift performance with maximum screen contact, and promotes a smoother, quieter wipe sweep, as well as a higher down force for exceptional water clearance. OE-Quality Flat Blades These designs fit modern vehicle windscreens, giving an outstanding wipe quality and improved aerodynamics as less wiper area is exposed to wind forces. This leads to a reduction in wind lift and noise. Comma Oils and Chemicals For more than 30 years Comma has been synonymous with quality automotive lubricants and car care products.

Ian Walker, our Founder was a semi-professional racing and rally driver from 1956 to 1962, when he retired from driving and formed Ian Walker Racing. This was a fully professional four-car team, which campaigned all over Europe and North America with considerable success. Apart from two contracted drivers, the team was fortunate to have the services, on an occasional basis, of such drivers as Jimmy Clark, Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart. When IWR was closed down in 1968, its assets and some of the personnel were integrated into Ian Walker Service - a garage business - which specialized in the sale and service of high performance cars, particularly Lotus. It also produced and marketed performance conversions, such as camshafts, cylinder heads, inlet and exhaust manifolds and eventually, complete competition engines. In 1974 we commenced engine re-conditioning for road cars and consequently were regrinding road camshafts and, due to the cost of engine parts prevailing then, began sourcing outside of the franchised networks. As we built up availability for ourselves, we saw a market opportunity to offer a range of engine parts to the engine re-conditioning industry. Commencing in 1976 the small range offered included re-profiled camshafts, followers, tappets, rocker shafts, oil pump repair kits, timing chain and core plugs. We started with an 8 part range consisting of a total of only 135 part numbers, and were operating out of premises comprising of 2,250 square feet. Subsequent years have seen constant growth to the product range on offer, the most important of which is Gasket Sets, and the range now includes "non engine" product such as Steering/Suspension, CV Boot Kits, Gaiters and Wheel Bearings. We now operate out of premises covering 58,000 square feet and our current product range of 22 lines consists of over 20,000 part numbers, covering 41 vehicle manufacturers and at any time, our average parts inventory totals 2,500,000 items.

Haynes Publishing John Haynes OBE wrote and published his first book, on building an Austin 7 Special, whilst he was still at school in 1956. He wrote two more 'Special' builders' manuals while doing his National Service in the RAF. The first 'proper' Haynes Owners Workshop Manual, for the Austin Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite, was published in 1965. Based on the stripdown and rebuild of the project vehicle and with extensive use of step-by-step photographs – a process that has not changed to this day – this manual set the standard for many generations of manuals to follow. Since Haynes Publishing was founded in 1960, approximately 150 million Haynes Manuals have sold throughout the world, over 1 million in the UK last year alone. There are around 300 UK car manuals in print at present with 130 plus UK motorcycle manual titles - not to mention equivalent ranges in the USA, France and Sweden. Actually writing a car manual takes 20 to 30 man-weeks. Authors work in pairs, which shortens the origination time and avoids them going crazy in the middle of long projects. We buy a car at the beginning of the project and sell it at the end - either to staff or on the open market. The workshop phase lasts approximately 4 weeks, although we usually keep the car until the manual is about to print in case of last-minute queries. From the start of a project to the publication of the manual usually takes between three and six months. Motorcycle manuals take about two-thirds as long. Intermotor Intermotor are one of Europe's leading manufacturers of ignition, engine management and switch and sensor components and market leaders in the UK.

A growing percentage are now diesel engines, which have further contributed to an ever-improving turnover. The other major change over the years has been the increasing complexity of engines, with particular reference to multi-valves and the utilisation of electronic management systems. ISL also continues to be innovative in its approach to both manufacturing processes and the environment. One of its latest purchases is a state-of-the-art machine from the United States. It’s an evaporator which burns off all the oil-based and chemical waste materials in a completely environmentally-friendly way. Kerr Nelson. Kerr Nelson.

Today the diaphragm spring has almost completely replaced the traditional coil spring in passenger cars, light trucks and tractors. LuK builds some eight million diaphragm spring clutches annually and supplies them to virtually all major automotive manufacturers worldwide. The diaphragm spring clutch has been so successful for many reasons. Its simple rotationally symmetrical design and low axial length make it easier for automotive designers to fit the clutch into today's restricted engine compartments. The diaphragm spring fingers also perform the release function. In spite of high clamp load requirements, the spring's progressive characteristic curve provides the low release loads demanded by today's comfort-minded drivers. When coupled with an appropriately tuned cushion characteristic in the clutch disc, the diaphragm spring offers excellent engagement performance and exceptional start-up comfort. A driven plate with an integrated vibration damper is the most economical, yet space saving solution to torsional vibration within the vehicle drive train.
