updated
Symptoms of Fault
Juddering or erratic wipers, wiper rods popped off at ball joints, wipers over-arching, windscreen wipers not working or only one working
The Fault
The poor quality bearings on your vehicles wiper linkage rods wear causing these symptoms
The original soft plastic bush bearings on each end of the two wiper linkage push rods wear down leading to the push rods popping off the ball joint and causes the symptoms noted above.
Other designs of bushes available are made from the same material as OEM and of the same design
The Solution
Fit our improved wiper bushes and circlips to restore your wipers to full health
Save on the cost of a complete wiper mechanism or wiper rods complete with poorly designed bushes, which will no doubt fail again in future. Install X8R’s wiper bush kit to save time and money.
X8R’s wiper bushes are made of reinforced Nylon, guaranteeing the life of your wiper rods for many years to come. The bushes are designed to last, with a mating edge for the circlips to attach into, making sure they do not come loose in future.

Low security is a concern when storing valuable items inside your van.
The problem
The OEM door locking mechanism is easily bypassed by criminals.
It is very common for criminials to attempt break-ins on these vans by drilling a hole through the side door to access the internal mechanisms of the lock and open the door, this being able to take whatever is stored in the back of the van. If your van has been broken into you would be required to replace the whole door, which can often prove expensive and time consuming, especially if you need to respray the new door.
A common deterrent against criminals would be an alarm system, however the alarm will only be triggered once the criminals are already inside of the van. Having a visible guard on show will send a message to any prospecting criminals.
Our solution
This X8R kit contains everything you need to repair a past break-in, as well as protect it from future attacks.
Rather than replace your door or install an expensive alarm system, install the X8R Door Lock Shield Kit. This comprehensive kit will deter theives from breaking into your vehicle by adding two extra layers of protection to your door.
Our external and internal shields are made from 2.5mm stainless steel, which is over twice the thickness of the skin of the OEM doors. The shields also come with a closed cell foam gasket which sits flush between the door & the exterior shield, creating a water-tight protective barrier to prevent rust and corrosion.
Vehicles affected
Ford Custom 2012 onwards
You will receive
1 x Rear door brushed stainless steel exterior shield
1 x X8R green powder coated stainless steel interior shield
1 x Paper template
1 x Closed cell foam gasket
10 x Nyloc nuts
10 x Washers
If you have already had a break-in attempt made on your van then it is likely you will have a hole drilled in the door of your vehicle, this is done to allow criminals to reach inside and simply unlock your van from the internal mechanism.

Carbon rich recirculated exhaust gasses enter the intake manifold, over time carbon / coke deposits gather in the EGR valve and manifold blocking air flow. Resulting in reduced fuel economy and vehicle performance. Common symptoms of failure include; rough engine running, decreased throttle response and loss of power/torque.
The Solution
Fit our EGR kit and allow your engine to breathe once more
Eliminate the risk of future carbon build up in the EGR system. Improved torque with smoother pick up and improved fuel consumption, reduced turbo lag and less nasty exhaust fumes.
Our blanking kit is made from billet CNC machined anodised aluminium. It also comes bolts and with a replacement metal gasket.

THE FAULT
The factory installed weather strips on these cars tend to perish and become cracked over time when exposed to sunlight and adverse weather conditions. This can result in water leaking behind the chrome trim and cause corrosion to form on the inside of the metal panels. The original Mini seals are made from a rubber which becomes hard and brittle over time, resulting in them failing.
THE SOLUTION
We have developed our own profiled sealing strip designed to be fitted to your OEM chrome trims. Our seal enables you to renew the rubber seal on these chrome trims. Saving the vast expense of replacing the chrome trims, these are extremely expensive from BMW and used parts will have the same fault.
Our seal is unique in the market and designed specifically for this fitment. Uniquely our seal has a "skirt" to cover all of the original seal. Some suppliers supply just rubber to replace the top section of the OEM seal that fails, this does not address the issue of the rest of the seal looking bad. Our seal uniquely covers and replaces the original to provide a perfect finish.
Specially designed to apply pressure to the canvas seal, resulting in a tight seal to protect against water ingress.
Our seal replicates the original style of the factory seal, maintains the bead that runs along the length of the seal, meaning that your new seals will look as close as is possible to OEM seals.
Our seal uses VHB (Very High Bond) 3m adhesive tape to ensure a secure fit.
We supply this as a complete kit to renovate your chrome trims. We include replacement stainless steel screws to replace the original mild steel ones. Sanding sponge and alcohol wipes to prepare the surface.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
All Mini convertibles, R52, R57 years 2004 through 2015.
Symptoms of a failed exhaust heat shield mount may include but are not limited to:
• Rattling exhaust when travelling upwards of 20mph.
• Strong rattling when using throttle
• Dragging or scraping noise coming from heat shield hanging off.
• Hanging or loose fitted heat-shield visible from underside of car.
The Fault
Exhaust fittings can easily fail due to various road conditions
Rust and corrosion can cause your exhaust heat shield to come loose around the original fixings. They can cause unwanted rattling dragging or scraping from underneath the vehicle.
Before our repair kit, the solution would be to replace the heatshield, however this can be costly and time-consuming (sometimes the exhaust will need to be removed to carry out this repair). Not forgetting that the fault will only happen again further down the line.
The Solution
Repair your existing heat shield without taking it off the vehicle
Our universal heat shield repair kit comprises of five stainless steel heat shield washers which are 50mm in diameter, covering the areas of the heat shield which have most likely rusted and come away from the original fixings. They are made from the same material that most heat shields are manufactured from and can be moulded in shape to bend to your original heat shield (if required).
You will also receive five zinc-plated steel star locking washers (also known as underbody clips) which provide the stainless steel washers with a secure fit.
Minimal tools are required to carry out this fix, so you can do it on your driveway at home!
Vehicles Affected

Is your Land Rover Range Rover or Range Rover Sport feeling sluggish? Short of power, slow off the mark?
Suffering poor fuel consumption (MPG), turbo lag, rough idle, poor torque- slow engine pick up? Smokey exhaust?
THE FAULT
Carbon built up in your vehicles EGR system is restricting air flow.
Carbon rich recirculated exhaust gasses enter the intake manifold, over time Carbon / Coke deposits gather in the EGR valve and manifold blocking air flow. Resulting in reduced fuel economy and vehicle performance. Common symptoms of failure include; rough engine running, decreased throttle response and loss of power / torque.
THE SOLUTION
Fit our EGR kit and allow your engine to breathe once more.
Eliminate the risk of future carbon build ups in the EGR system. Improved torque with smoother pick up and improved fuel consumption, reduced turbo lag and less nasty exhaust fumes. Our blanking plugs are fitted with Viton O-rings suited to the fitting environment, do not trust Nitrile seals.
Our kit comes with OEM spec gaskets for the exhaust manifold blanks, these are important for a good seal, equally importantly they keep the mounting bolts secure before fastening to ensure they do not drop in to the exhaust manifold!
For off road / diagnostic use only.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Land Rover, Range Rover
All Vehicles With The 3.6ltr TDV8 Engine
YOU WILL RECEIVE
2x Intake Manifold Billet Anodised Aluminium Blanks fitted with Viton O-Rings

You may notice that your engine begins to run less smoothly, juddering or stuttering when idling and a noticeable drop in power output.
You may notice oil leaks from various locations around the upper engine block.
Oil may begin to leak into the cylinder resulting in blue smoke coming from the exhaust.
THE FAULT
Various seals fail causing these faults
Over time rubber seals within the engine can become brittle and lose their sealing capabilities resulting in leaks in various locations around the engine.
The common areas for these leaks to appear are:
The rocker cover gasket, when this leaks your engine will begin to consume oil and you may notice a burning oil smell from the engine bay.
Injector upper seals, these can fail and result in oil leaking from the top of the plastic rocker cover.
Injector union seals, these can perish over time and result in a failure of the seal, which will cause rough running as well as causing an oil leak.
Injector metallic seals, the engine relies on these seals to keep the combustion chamber sealed, if they fail then you will notice a drop in cylinder compression, as well as oil leaking onto the top of the piston, this could cause a puff of smoke when first starting the engine where oil has leaked through whilst the engine was off.
THE SOLUTION
Install our new seals and gaskets and cure these leaks and vehicle faults
Our kit is comprehensive, it contains all of the seals, gaskets, specialist tools and sealant that you will need.
By renewing the old seals that have become brittle over time you can give your engine a breath of new life.
Our kit uniquely includes parts that are unavailable from the main dealer enabling an effective repair without having to buy whole components such as the complete rocker cover.
This type of maintenance often helps the engine run a lot smoother, if your existing seals have failed and allowed the engine to lose vacuum then your engine may be pre-maturely wearing.

The actuator motor on the intake manifold over rotates; triggering fault codes
When the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the intake manifold is not functioning properly it will normally illuminate the check engine light. The intake manifold control valve/position sensor (which is typically located at one end of the intake manifold) provides values which help the vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM) control the amount of air being allowed into fuel injected engines at various RPMs. Using information from the sensor, The Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) determines the position of the throttle body plates (commonly called flapper valves) and adjusts them to adapt to engine load variations. This ensures a correct mixture of fuel and air by limiting the amount of air that can pass though the engine. The P2015 code means that there is out of range data from the sensor.
The P2020 code is the fault code associated with Bank 2 for the same issue.If your vehicle has a P2015 and/or P2020 error it is very likely the main dealer will look to fix this issue with one or two completely new intake manifolds at significant cost. The fault however usually lies with the actuator motor on the intake manifold(s). There are two plastic limiting stops on the large cog within the motor. These are delicate and inevitably wear, allowing the motor to over rotate which triggers the P2015/P2020 error.
Our repair brackets can be installed very easily providing a solid limit for the actuator motors - curing these faults for the life of the vehicle. There is no need to replace the complete manifolds / actuator motors which would only fail again.
The Solution:
Install our swirl flap kit to remedy this issue and prevent future faults from occurring.
Our Swirl Flap Delete Kit comprises of every component you will need to remedy this issue. Our Bearing and Pull Rod Blanks are made from 304 Stainless Steel to provide longevity of the part. The Pull Rod Blanks have a design unique to X8R Ltd, combined with the Viton O Ring and 2 OEM design fitting clasps to guarantee most secure fit.
The X8R kit comes complete with 2 OEM Intake Manifold Gaskets, which are recommended to be changed at the same time as fitment.
We recommend to fit both manifold kits at the same time as the two manifolds work together so it is preferable for them both to have the same limit.

The brackets are made from high grade marine stainless steel, meaning they are resistant to weathering.
The finish of the product is brushed stainless steel and sports our company’s “X” logo which will keep the interior of your van looking stylish.
Our product will contain a quick release locking pin; however it is compatible with most off-the-shelf padlocks if you wish to use your own.
You will receive:
One quick release locking pin.
Both halves of the X8R internal van door lock.
2 x isopropyl alcohol wipes for preparing the work area.
Vehicles affected:
Fiat Ducato (2006-2014)

Citroen rear door part numbers: left: 8702 A3, 16 216 821 80. Right: 8703 A5, 16 813 185 80
It is very common for thieves to attempt break-ins on these vans by drilling a hole through the rear door to access the internal mechanisms of the lock and open the door, thus being able to take whatever is stored in the back of the van.
If your van has been broken into, the usual resolution is to replace the whole door, which is very expensive and can be difficult to source. You may even need to spray the door to match your van.
If you are looking for a deterrent, a common solution is an alarm system. These are also expensive and may not deter a thief- by the time the alarm goes off they might already be in the van and stealing your tools!
Our solution:
Rather than replace your door or install an expensive alarm system, install the X8R Door Lock Shield Kit. This comprehensive kit will deter thieves from breaking into your vehicle by adding an extra layer of protection to your door. Our kit is easy to fit and can be done within an hour. It also comes with a 19mm holesaw to drill into your door, so you don’t have to buy an entire holesaw kit.
Our shield is made from anti-cut & drill 2.5mm stainless steel, which is over twice the thickness of the skin of the OEM doors. The shield also comes with a closed cell foam gasket which sits flush between the door & the shield, creating a water-tight protective barrier to prevent rust and corrosion.
Vehicles affected:
Renault Trafic 2014-
Fiat Talento 2014-
Nissan NV300 2014-
Vauxhall Vivaro 2014-
You will receive:
1 x Stainless steel exterior protective shield
1 x closed cell foam gasket
8 x washers
8 x Nyloc nuts
1 x grease pot
1 x 19mm holesaw

The first generation Suzuki Jimny have a 4 wheel drive suspension set-up using kingpins and a swivel joint system, although a fairly good set-up they are prone to oil leaks and the kingpins and bearings fail when excessively used off-road. Not only are these faults MOT failures, they are also dangerous if driven when the faults become excessive- known as the “death wobble”.
Symptoms of the fault:
Steering “shimmy” AKA “death wobble” the steering wheel shaking usually around 35-45mph (60-80mk/h), can be anything from a slight shake to a violent steering wheel shake. Oil/grease leaking from the swivel joints. Vertical play in front wheels when hovering above ground.

Our solution:
We have made a kit that comprises of all the components you need to refurbish one side of your front axel (for both sides, purchase two kits). These kits are few & far between, with some kits comprising of unnecessary parts.
The X8R kit contains unique items such as the bungs to pop over the vacuum lines to prevent any dust or corrosion from entering the system, in addition to the most highly recommended high-temperature and highly resistant CV grease from Maxima Racing Oils. This grease combined with the brand new seals limits the possibility of water ingress into the bearings and swivel hub.

We state 70nm of torque when tightening the locking cap, this will vary between models so be sure to check your cars specific torque setting before you tighten this.
The symptoms
Clunking noise from steering when turning into full lock, clunking noise when driving over bumps, speed bumps and potholes
The problem
Over time the thrust bush within the steering rack disintegrates & wears down, this causes excess noise coming from the steering. BMW has recognised this issue and introduced a “quality improvement” kit- a OEM kit that includes an improved design bush, spring, bung, jubilee clamps for the steering gaiters and a replacement locking screw cap complete with o ring.
The locking screw cap also requires a specialist tool, which can also be purchased from BMW but at a hefty price tag. You also require the BMW-spec steering grease. Up until now there was nowhere in the UK selling this complete kit.
Our solution
To make the fix as easy as possible, we have created our kit where all the components can be purchased from the same place. Our complete kit comes with the OEM BMW improvement kit (which comes with 2 years BMW warranty), the OEM BMW grease, and our X8R Steering Rack Tool.

Hard top handles often need replacing due to a single component within the mechanism failing, such as the spring or the lock cylinder. Or the handle might need replacing due to losing the keys.
Handles from the original manufacturers are expensive and can also have long lead times if on back-order. Automotive locksmiths are also pricey.
Symptoms of the fault
Original key no longer working, loose handle, no longer locking the hatch
Vehicles affected
This is a universal replacement handle which will fit any hardtop which does not have a recessed handle (for example, this will not fit Snugtop Canopies). It fits brands such as:
• Carryboy
• SJS
• Adventurer
• AT Avenger
• Aeroklas
• And other hardtops built from factory for Navara, L200 etc
The length of the handle itself does not matter; the important measurement is the distance between the sections of the handle that slot into the glass/tailgate hatch. The measurement between this section is 82mm. For all measurements, please see the guide in the images of this listing.
If you are unsure if this handle is correct for your vehicle, please send us a photo of your handle.
Our solution
Instead of purchasing a new handle from the manufacturer of your hard top (which can be very pricey!), purchase our universal replacement handle instead.
Our replacement handle is made of high-quality materials which look exactly like the OEM handles, for a fraction of the price.
If you have lost your keys, or perhaps the lock cylinder has seized leaving the key redundant, then you will find that replacing your handle with our X8R replacement handle must more cost-effective.
You will receive
1 x Replacement Hard Top Handle including the following components:
• Handle
• Base
• 2 x keys
• Gasket for base
• Gasket for locating stud

Rusted door sills, broken or split door seals, leaks or puddles in footwells
The Fault
The rubber door seals often deteriorate which can lead to severe rust.
The rubber seals that surround the doors on the MK7 Ford Transit often split, deteriorate and come away from the doors, resulting in water ingress sitting on the door sills and in the footwells, which can lead to severe rust. The seals also look poor once they start to deteriorate.
The seals also have a very loose fit and can easily come away from the door sills, they are not fixed on with glue and the rubber loses its grip over time. Therefore, the seals can completely come away, leaving the door sills exposed which can cause damage.
New seals from Ford are very expensive and retail for over £120 + VAT. This is a costly fix for a seal that will have the same issue recurring time & time again.
Our solution
Install our improved design door seals to prevent these issues
We have introduced new door rubbers which are metal reinforced, they hold a strong grip onto the door sills and create a protective bond against any rust, corrosion or damage.
The seals can be installed in a matter of minutes, with almost no tools being required. They instantly improved the appearance of your Ford Transit.

The OEM Volkswagen cup holder works by retracting to & from the dashboard, when it pops out there are two flaps which hold two drinks. However the flaps work on a spring mechanism which often breaks. The flaps also put too much pressure on paper cups (such as those from drive-thrus) and can cause them to spill.
Symptoms of the fault
Broken cup holder mechanism, spilling drinks, rattling cup holder

Our solution
We have created an improved design cup holder insert which has been injection molded for precision and quality. The insert also makes it far easier to insert a drinks cup or bottle whilst driving
You will receive
1 X ABS injection molded cup holder insert
Symptoms of the fault are very obvious. The button can be stuck in the On or Off position, unable to be pressed in. When being pressed in, it doesn’t stay in position and springs back out. No resistance within the button.
The fault
It is common for the heated seat mechanism to bend or break inside the button
The heated seat switches on various Fords become inoperable due to the metal lever that guides the button up & down breaking or bending. The small connectors can snap off, the lever itself can bend / misshapen, or the whole lever itself could snap in half. This is due to it being die-cast from thin metal, thus weak by design.
A new button costs around £50 from Ford, our kit is just a fraction of the cost, is incredibly easy to install and will stop the fault occuring again.

ABS light on dashboard, rusted or disintegrated ABS plate, ABS sensor hanging loose. Sometimes the plate is rusted away to the point where it is completely missing.
The problem
The ABS plates that sit over the wheel hub corrode and disintegrate over time, thus reducing the connectivity to the ABS sensor and generating an ABS fault code. These plates are not available to buy separately as they are built into the rear axle and Renault garages will charge over £1000 for a new axle plus labour. Even scrap yards are not willing to sell the plates separately as they can make more money selling the complete axles.

Our solution
Our ABS plates are a much more cost-effective solution to this common and simple issue. We have designed & created our own plates out of marine grade stainless steel to prevent any corrosion like the original unit. They also have two indents for spot welds, this is because the knuckle itself may have surface corrosion, affecting a secure fit for the new ABS plate, if this is the case then you can spot weld it into place so the ABS sensor does not become lose.
You will receive

Unfortunately, it is becoming more & more common for vehicles to be broken into, especially vans since they often carry expensive tools and machinery. Thieves will often drill into doors to access OEM locks to open them from the inside, leaving the owner with a damaged vehicle and no tools, thus an expensive bill.
Vehicles affected
Mostly vans, lorries and truck owners are affected by the common problem of having their vehicles broken into, but this universal dummy lock can be fitted to any vehicle, including caravans, motorhomes, passenger vehicles etc.
Our solution
Our dummy door lock is made of nickel-plated brass, meaning that it does not tarnish or discolour in the sun or rain. It is machined down from a Euro cylinder lock, giving it an authentic look. The rubber surround is backed with 3M VHB double sided tape which is the strongest tape on the market so it will stay bonded to the vehicle for as long as necessary.
Within our kit you will receive a pair of dummy door locks, one for a side door and one for the back door.
You will receive:
1 or 2 x X8R Dummy Door Lock (available to purchase individually or in pairs)
Symptoms of fault
Water leaking in to the boot and footwells. Wet carpets and mats. Rattling / whistling noises, excess wind and road noise. Rattling sounds from doors and tinny sound when closing doors.
The fault
It is a very common fault for leaks to occur on these vehicles, with water entering and pooling in the boot and footwells.
The door seals on these vehicles are poorly designed from the outset and get worse with age. These seals both on the tailgate and doors sit deep within the mating surfaces of the doors and body of the vehicle.
This means a large volume of water can pool above the seals. This overwhelms the seals, entering the back of the seals and causes these leaks. As the OEM seals sits so far from the outer edge of the doors this means the outer edges of the doors close directly on the metal of the vehicles body creating a tinny metallic sound when closing the doors.
The solution
Our seals sit closer to the edge of the mating surfaces of the doors, preventing the main door seals from being overwhelmed and leaking.
Unique in design our seals fasten to the outer edge of the vehicles body where the doors close. Our seals are extremely easy to fit, just peel off the 3M sticky tape on the reverse and fit in the positions shown in our video and pictorial instructions.
The seals close up the gap between the body and the door stopping water pooling on the main door seal, preventing leaks.
Also included is a replacement boot seal, this is a direct replacement for the OEM part, this slots in to place as per the original, our seal is improved with a larger diameter to prevent leaks in to the boot.
Alongside this we also supply an additional top seal which works in the same way as our door seals, providing an external seal, preventing pooling of water within the tailgate.
Our seals are a direct fit and can be fitted in under 20 minutes. Our seals are cut to size ready to fit, we also include 2x alcohol wipes to clean the vehicles body prior to fitting our seals.

The OE handbrake button often breaks within the internal mechanism of the handbrake, resulting in the handbrake not working as it should. The button’s arms that slot into the internals of the mechanisms or the shoulder on the bottom of the button can often snap resulting in the button becoming lodged in place and unable to press in or out, or it can come loose and fall out entirely. This is because the OE button is made of very thin plastic and is not made to last the span of the vehicle’s life.
Symptoms of the fault
The handbrake button becoming stuck in place or falling out, resulting in the handbrake becoming in operable and being stuck in the upright or downward position. The main Vauxhall dealers will say you will need the whole handbrake unit replacing as the button is not a spare part. This will cost hundreds with labour as the centre console must be removed in order to do so.

Will fit all Mokkas within this age range regardless of interior colour or trim. It will also fit left hand drive & right hand drive vehicles. If unsure if this design will fit please email us a photograph of your handbrake to sales@x8r.co.uk
Our solution
Our improved button is of the exact same design as the OE button, however it is made of alloy metal which strengthens the button meaning it will not break inside the mechanism. This solution will last the lifetime of the vehicle and is also cost-effective against the cost of fixing the unit at the main dealer.
This can be fitted while the handbrake is still on the vehicle, meaning there is no stripping of interior components making the job very easy to carry out.
You will receive
1 x metal handbrake button
1 x replacement spring
Most 1 Series vehicles do not come with the cup holder in the centre console as it was an optional extra from the factory
The BMW 1 Series does not come with a centre console cup holder unless selected at factory. From factory you could select a centre console where the the cup holder was molded into the design. If this option was not selected at factory the only solution until now was to replace the whole centre console with this type, this is both time consuming and can be costly, especially as trims vary. This has led to people fitting window or vent mounted cup holders, both far from ideal and the vent solutions often damage the vent.
Our Solution
Our cup holder fits directly in to the centre console, looks OEM and provides a cup holder without ruining the look of the interior.
Our cup holder is a direct fit and simply lowers in to the centre console. Our part is designed to look as close as possible to the OE cup holder. Injection moulded for a perfect fit and finish, in Black ABS to match the original colour of the interior. No need to file, fill, or paint like 3D printed alternatives available.
Unique in design our parts comes with 3 rubber grips in each cup holder recess to grip the cup. Adding more support and reflecting the design of the OE centre console with the cup holder.
Our part comes complete with 3M adhesive tape to retain the cup holder in position, please check out our video to see how easy it is to fit.
As our part comes with the rubber grips it does retain the cups, we recommend allowing the 3M tape to set overnight to fully retain the cupholder. Adhesive tape is only so good, if wishing to use the cupholder with the grips we recommend bonding the cup holder in to the centre console so it can't be pulled loose. Alteratively the rubber grips can also be removed so you can run the cupholder without.

A specialist tool is required in order to remove the auxiliary belt.
The serpentine auxiliary belt is located in a very narrow & limited access section of the engine bay, making the belt very difficult to change without stripping major components from the engine. The belt is due to be changed every 60,000 miles (but should be replaced sooner if showing any signs of age or cracking). Or it may need to be removed to service components such as the supercharger, air conditioning compressor, water pump or alternator.
The solution up until now was to purchase one of the several tools available online, however they can either be very costly or come with many complicated components, or pins that are difficult to locate in to the tensioner, making changing the belt more difficult than it needs to be.
The Solution
Our tool can be used to easily release & replace the auxiliary belt
Our kit is simple to use, with the main changing tool being custom manufactured at the correct angles & comes with a soft, cushioned handle for ease of use. The tool is precision machined to the perfect shape to marry up to the tensioner, allowing you to push against the broadest section of the tensioner to release, rather than trying to locate and push against the tensioner in the two small holes in the tensioner. Our tool is manufactured from Steel and is Bright Zinc plated, made in the UK for a lifetime guarantee.
The kit also comes with a tensioner pin retaining tool, this is basically a correctly sized screwdriver angled to the correct shape for easy retaning of the tensioner pin. A lot of kits on the market come with a small Allen key or pin, which can be very fiddley and tricky to push in. Our tool as it is the perfect shape, long and with a handle it makes install in the tensioner pin far easier.

Water, leaves, debris, animals entering your garage through the gap between your garage door and the floor. Water entering garage during heavy downpours. Less than perfect garage floor surface so poor seal with garage door. Drafts and thermal heat loss through garage door.
The solution
Our unique design heavy duty garage door threshold seal is the perfect solution to prevent ingress of water and leaves in to your garage.
Our threshold is fitted directly behind or under the garage door, the garage door mates to our threshold surface producing a watertight seal. Preventing the ingress of water, leaves, mud, rodents and debris and improving thermal efficiency by removing drafts of cold air.
Whether protecting your vehicle, tools, home gym, home office or whatever the use you can rely on our threshold to keep contaminates out.
Our seal is flexible this is essential as most garage floors aren’t perfect and flat, UV stable so won’t be damaged by sunlight, odour free and keeps its flexibility, even when in constant contact with water.
Suitable for most door styles including manual and automatic. Up and over, sectional, roller shutter and side hinged garage doors.
Our seal features unique grooves on the reverse to allow efficient adhesion and sealing with our selected hybrid adhesive. These grooves vary in width and depth to provide the very best adhesion and seal.
Working with our specially selected hybrid adhesive and sealant this provides the perfect watertight seal between our threshold seal and the floor. Retaining flexibility in its design but providing permanent adhesion this is designed to allow you to drive over the seal with no issue. With a working temperature of -40°C - +100°C this is the perfect material to use.
We have designed our seal with an eye-catching yellow line along the length of the threshold, providing a visual reminder to prevent trips.
You will receive
• Threshold seal in selected length.
• High quality branded hybrid adhesive and sealant.
Water leaking in to the boot and footwells. Wet carpets and mats. Rattling / whistling noises, excess wind and road noise. Rattling sounds from doors and tinny sound when closing doors.
The fault
It is a very common fault for leaks to occur on these vehicles, with water entering and pooling in the boot and footwells.
The door seals on these vehicles are poorly designed from the outset and get worse with age. These seals both on the tailgate and doors sit deep within the mating surfaces of the doors and body of the vehicle.
This means a large volume of water can pool above the seals. This overwhelms the seals, entering the back of the seals and causes these leaks. As the OEM seals sits so far from the outer edge of the doors this means the outer edges of the doors close directly on the metal of the vehicles body creating a tinny metallic sound when closing the doors.
The solution
Our seals sit closer to the edge of the mating surfaces of the doors, preventing the main door seals from being overwhelmed and leaking.
Unique in design our seals fasten to the outer edge of the vehicles body where the doors close. Our seals are extremely easy to fit, just peel off the 3M sticky tape on the reverse and fit in the positions shown in our video and pictorial instructions.
The seals close up the gap between the body and the door stopping water pooling on the main door seal, preventing leaks.
Also included is a replacement boot seal, this is a direct replacement for the OEM part, this slots in to place as per the original, our seal is improved with a larger diameter to prevent leaks in to the boot.
Alongside this we also supply an additional top seal which works in the same way as our door seals, providing an external seal, preventing pooling of water within the tailgate.
Our seals are a direct fit and can be fitted in under 20 minutes. Our seals are cut to size ready to fit, we also include 2x alcohol wipes to clean the vehicles body prior to fitting our seals.

This is a preventative service kit to avoid future failure of the supercharger components.
The fault
Scheduled servicing of the supercharger is important to keep in the best condition and to prevent failure.
The R53 and R52 Mini Cooper S models are fitted with an Eaton supercharger. The supercharger is lubricated and partially cooled by oil located in two reservoirs within the supercharger housing.
BMW / Mini do not offer a change of this oil / service of this part as part of the service schedule. However other manufacturers vehicles utilising the same supercharger recommend servicing at 40,000 miles.
It is not uncommon for the seals to weep on the supercharger allowing oil to escape.
Most enthusiasts therefore recommend servicing every 40,000 miles to keep this oil fresh and topped up- preventing failure of the supercharger components. These superchargers are one of the most expensive components on the vehicle and used units can provide their own issues.
The solution
Service your vehicles supercharger using our comprehensive kit, prevent failure of the unit.
Our comprehensive kit includes all the parts you will need to carry out a full service of the supercharger off of the vehicle. This is the very best way to ensure a full service and complete exchange of the oil.
Our parts (developed by working on these vehicles), coupled with our thorough install pictorial and video instructions allow you to carry out this service, providing the ultimate reassurance.
We recommend removing the supercharger from the vehicle to service, we believe this is the most thorough way, all our components included here allow you to do this replacing all consumables, gaskets and parts which will likely need replacing along the way.
We recommend refilling the supercharger off of the vehicle through the drain plugs, we don’t advocate removing any of the casting of the supercharger as we feel this is more likely to introduce contaminates.
Our comprehensive kit includes the following:
210ml turbine oil. Made by Shell to MIL-PRF- 23699G and DEF-STAN91-101 standards. Matching and exceeding Eaton requirements. Enough to fully refill both reservoirs on the supercharger.
Green supercharger to air tube gasket (Vitor Reinz) equivalent to 11610020836. Failure of the seal and subsequent air leaks are common and this leads to rough running and a lack of power.
Viton O Rings (best material for environment fitted) to replace the often perished seals on the supercharger drain plugs.
Bypass valve pipe, ASH branded (select if purchasing for auto or manual so we send correct pipe) Equivalent to 17511524538 or 17517541463. Supplied with x2 Stainless steel slim hose clamps to replace OEM hose clips which are not easy to reuse (11651521321). Note our hose clamps have a band thickness of 0.7mm. Where this isn’t considered it makes the hose very difficult to fit.
Three slim stainless-steel hose clamps to replace OEM clips which are difficult to reuse on both ends of the airbox to throttle body valve intake hose. X1 to replace the clip on the main intake duct (to replace 13721491752) these hose clamps need to be slim line to fit the mounting recess correctly.
Large supercharger inlet horn gasket (Elring) to replace 17511520044. Enabling removal of the supercharger inlet horn to clean / inspect the rotor.
A pair of Viton O-rings (the best material for the fitting environment) equivalent to 11517509186 to replace O-rings on the water pump. To replace flange to block O-ring and water pump to flange O-ring.
Viton O-ring seal to replace seal on the crank position sensor (equivalent to 12147514983) This is normally leaking on these vehicles and it is the best time access wise to replace this when removing the supercharger.
60ml syringe with long filler pipe to insert oil in to supercharger drain holes.
3/16 AF long arm Allen key (not found in most socket sets) to remove supercharger drain plugs, metric sizes will not fit and will cause damage.
Dipstick crankcase bung plug, to prevent coolant entering the crank case when removing the water pump.
Replacement throttle body gasket, essential to replace when removing the throttle body unit to service the supercharger. Equivalent to 13547509045.
Bolts and washers included to screw in to the front frame to allow the radiator to be safely removed. Check out our instructions to see how crucial these are.
Replacement dip stick tube O-ring, this should be replaced when removing the tube to access the supercharger. Equivalent to 11437513891.

Loss of power (gone into neutral), no gears can be selected, hydraulic pump runs constantly, you can see hydraulic fluid bubbling/rising out of the breather, flashing spanner icon where gear number usually shows.
The Fault
The accumulator mounting within the DSG unit fails causing these faults
Within the DSG Mechatronic unit, the hydraulic pump pushes oil through the filter towards the pressure accumulator which provides the system with oil pressure when the pump is switched off.
The cast metal part that the accumulator seats in to is too thin for the pressure exerted, this causes this part to crack and for the system to lose pressure causing the mechatronic unit to fail.
To replace the cast metal part is a very time-consuming job and would only fail again in future.
The Solution
Our unique design repair restores full function to the DSG unit
Our unique repair kit allows you to repair the failed cast block. Our accumulator base mounts to the cast block restoring full function, our improved design accumulator simply then screws in place, providing a full-term repair for this common fault.
For some types of transmission, the repair is possible in situ – provided the mechatronic sump can be removed in situ. Even if this isn’t possible and the unit has to be removed our repair is still far simpler than replacing the cast block which requires complete disassembly of the Mechatronic unit.
No programming is required pre or post installation. After the repair, pressure is restored and normal operation resumes.

Reduced acceleration. Increased fuel consumption. Intake Manifold Flap Motor (V157) stuck/faulty.
Possible other error codes: P2004, P2005, P2006, P2007, P2008, P2009, P2010, P2011, P2012, P2013, P2014, P2016, P2017, P2018, P2019, P2021, P2022, P2023, P3135, P1018.
The Fault
The actuator motor on the intake manifold over rotates; triggering fault codes.
When the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the intake manifold is not functioning properly it will normally illuminate the check engine light.
The intake manifold control valve/position sensor (which is typically located at one end of the intake manifold) provides values which help the vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM) control the amount of air being allowed into fuel injected engines at various RPMs.
Using information from the sensor, The Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) determines the position of the throttle body plates (commonly called flapper valves) and adjusts them to adapt to engine load variations. This ensures a correct mixture of fuel and air by limiting the amount of air that can pass though the engine. The P2015 code means that there is out of range data from the senor.
The P2020 code is the fault code associated with Bank 2 for the same issue.
If your vehicle has a P2015 and/or P2020 error it is very likely the main dealer will look to fix this issue with one or two completely new intake manifolds at significant cost. The fault however usually lies with the actuator motor on the intake manifold(s). There are two plastic limiting stops on the large cog within the motor. These are delicate and inevitably wear, allowing the motor to over rotate which triggers the P2015/P2020 error.
Our repair brackets can be installed very easily providing a solid limit for the actuator motors - curing these faults for the life of the vehicle. There is no need to replace the complete manifolds / actuator motors which would only fail again.
The Solution
Fit our brackets and remedy the over rotation with a hard limit for the actuator motor. Clearing fault codes.
We recommend to fit both brackets at the same time as the two manifolds work together so it is preferable for them both to have the same limit.
Our brackets can be fitted very simply, usually in under 15 minutes, with basic tools. They attach to the manifold actuator motors themselves and stop the over rotation which causes the fault. Many of our customers have purchased our brackets as a preventative measure before their motors fail.
Our parts limit the motors to the same range as when they were new. Avoid the cost of a complete new manifold and actuator motor (or two) which would only fail again and which requires the removal of the fuel lines for installation.
No software (VCDS/ VAG COM) is needed for this repair, check out our instructions and videos, after the bracket is fitted the error will clear on its own.
Our bracket is unique in design and is constructed from stainless steel.
Fit our bracket quickly and simply and cure this common fault.

Complete Kit
2x Stainless steel brackets to fit both Left and Right hand manifolds. (4 and 5 pin)
Note: if paint on rear of handle remove this first with sandpaper to allow Acetone to melt the plastic.
Note: make sure Acetone melts plastic before fitting the clips to the handle, IT IS NOT GLUE. The surface needs to start melting for the parts to fuse together.
The Problem
It is very common for the clips on the inside of the tailgate handle to snap.
The small plastic clips moulded on the inside of the tailgate handle snap causing the handle to become loose, making it difficult to open the boot.
This is a very common fault on these vehicles; these clips simply aren’t strong enough and will inevitably break.
The solution until now was to purchase a complete handle, not only is a new handle expensive, it would also need to be colour coded and ultimately would have the same flawed design which would only fail again.
Symptoms of the fault
Tailgate handle internal clips, snapped, damaged, broken. These snap or break off completely leaving the handle, loose or hanging.

Mercedes OM642 V6 vehicles suffer issues with the intake manifold, the swirl flaps within this manifold are controlled by an external operating rod. This is made of a poor-quality plastic which wears prematurely.
Swirl flaps are designed to aid with low down torque and fuel economy. Over time the plastic wears at the connection points with the manifold, creating an oval shape which eventually lifts up the rod leading to breakages causing the faults noted above.
A physical inspection of the intake manifold will quite often show that the rod has snapped in half. The wear is caused by the plastic being the wrong specification for this task, it cannot deal with the heat and constant mechanical motion involved.
These intake manifolds can also get severely clogged up with carbon deposits which can lead to the swirl flaps becoming harder to move which in turn leads to more stress on the motor and rod.
You can ordinarily identify this issue by removing the engine cover and inspecting the intake manifold, often the rod is snapped or you can test the excess play in the rod linkage.
Solution
Our repair kit is the best solution to this fault. The manufacturer will advise to replace the entire intake manifold (£600+). The new manifold would come with the same plastic rod attached which will lead to the same problem further down the line.
In the case of this engine, there are two intake manifolds, each with a rod, so to replace both will cost a small fortune, especially as its generally just the rod that needs replacing.
Our kit comprises of an aluminium rod machined from billet aluminium and anodised. It will not snap like the plastic versions and is designed to cope with the sustained heat and movement experienced during operation.
Our rod comes complete with anti-friction adaptors, these interact with the plastic bushes of the rod and the plastic of the manifold connections, this means there is plastic on plastic operation, our anti friction adaptors allow easy slip and protect from wear. Not a metal on plastic operation which would ultimately fail. A far superior improved design and material part.
Our part features sensor pick-ups. Some manifolds have a position sensor on the plastic rod, failure to replicate this in a replacement rod will throw up errors. Our rod has this feature built in so can be a straight swap. Our rod will work with manifolds both with and without sensors.
Vehicles affected
This list is for guidance only, and may not be a complete list of vehicles with this engine. We have taken measures to ensure that all the below cars have compatible manifolds but you are best to check before purchasing.
You can check here: nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/epc/mercedes
Find your model, click Engine, click Intake and Exhaust Manifolds. You can then check the part number corresponds to the ones in this listing.
You can also visually inspect the manifold by removing the engine covers to confirm compatibility.
Please note our rod will replace rods both with and without sensor pick-ups. Will fit both.
Our rod will also fit both intake manifolds on these vehicles Left and Right hand side.

THE FAULT
The gear within your transfer case actuator wears and causes the symptoms noted above.
Attached to the transfer case is an actuator motor, within in this there is a poor quality Nylon plastic gear, this is turned by a metal worm gear. Over time the Nylon wears down and strips and leads to the gear not turning; this results in the symptoms noted above. BMW do not supply this part as a spare, they will provide at vast cost a complete replacement motor, this however will fail again because of the Nylon gear.
THE SOLUTION
Fit our improved design actuator gear and restore your actuator motor.
Replace just the failing component the Nylon gear with our replacement gear made from a plastic / Carbon Fiber mixture; a far better quality part than OEM. This will repair the issue and save the cost of a new actuator motor that would just fail again. A high quality precision made improved material replacement part.

YOU WILL RECEIVE
1X Carbon fibre reinforced plastic gear
Sloppy gear changes, loose feeling gear shift, difficulty getting into gears especially reverse and first. Gears feel like they have shifted over to the left so that 3 & 4 are where 1 & 2 normally sit. Wobbly / loose gear stick.
Fault
A bush within the gear stick assembly wears causing shifting issues.
Within the OEM gear stick shift mechanism is a poor-quality Nylon bush, a ball at the bottom of the shift stick operates within this bush, this is tight friction fit, the Nylon being of poor-quality wears away, allowing excess movement, causing the faults noted above. The solution until now was to replace the whole gear shift unit, not only is this expensive but it would inevitably fail again.
Solution
Install our new improved design bush and restore sharp gear changes.
Fit our improved material and design gear stick bush. Replace the poor-quality OEM bush with our new part at a fraction of the cost of changing the complete gear stick assembly (£300+). This will bring the sharpness back to your gearbox and make driving the vehicle easier and more enjoyable.
Our bush is made from a high-quality modified nylon and will not fail like the OEM part. Our part is made in two halves to make installation very easy, please check out our instructions and video.
Our part is injection moulded for the perfect finish. This is essential in providing smooth operation and combating wear. Not 3d printed or machined. Constructed of the best material for this application, this is what we specialise in, please check out our feedback.

Central locking not unlocking doors, boot not popping open, lumber supports in seats not operating, soft close boot not working.
Key fob won't lock or unlock any door, including rear hatch. (Key fob is perfectly operational otherwise)
Pressing door lock/unlock buttons inside the car fails to lock or unlock any door.
You can hear vacuum pump motor working but nothing is happening, motor runs for too long then cuts out. Vacuum pump makes clicking sound when you press lock/unlock on key fob.
Fault
A graphite impeller within the vacuum pump fails causing vehicle faults.
Sometimes water ingress can cause problems with these pumps, often however the impeller on the spindle of the motor can break or shatter over time. A broken impeller will cause a lack of air pressure / vacuum to be provided meaning actions of the PSE pump will be inhibited. It can also lead to a jammed motor which will lead to the pump blowing the 20A fuse and shutting off.

Solution
Install our replacement impeller and restore your vacuum pump
Dealers will try to sell you a complete new PSE pump at great expense (£900+), but our solution simply replaces the component part that has failed; the motor impeller. This repair with our replacement graphite impeller wheel and new fins will get your pump back to full working order at a fraction of the cost. Our parts are made of an improved Graphite material. Replace just the component that fails, avoid the cost of a whole new PSE pump assembly that would just fail again. Install of our new component is straight forward please check out our instructions and video.
