As you can imagine, with over 30 years of experience in this highly demanding area, their products offer the best performing heat shields, exhaust wraps, heat protective sleeves and thermal insulation around.

Engines and all of their components create very high temperatures and are under a lot of stress when operating at performance levels.

Magnetic Sump Plugs from Gold Plug - The last drain plug you'll ever need!
Another American company, Gold Plug was started in 2001, simply because they were fed up of not being able to find a good quality magnetic drain plug for their street bike engine that they had just finished rebuilding. After searching high and low, Gold Plug was born. Now, their daily mission is to supply the very best magnetic drain plugs to keep your vehicle running in the best possible condition. Why choose a magnetic oil plug over a standard sump plug you ask? Well, there's quite a few reasons actually.

Every time you run your engine, there will be a build up of contamination in the form of thousands and thousands of very small particles of ferrous metal. The main cause for these microscopic particles is friction, and you can imagine how much of this is generated when driving hard. To put things in perspective, an engine travelling at just 2000rpm sends the pistons up and down the bore 33 times per second. Imagine what a day on track is doing to your engine!
The oil filter does its part in keeping these filtered, however they can only filter out particles larger than 35 microns. These nano particles of metal suspended in the oil are considerably smaller than this, and to top it all off, the smaller the particle, the more damage they can do - This is because they travel pretty much anywhere in your engine when under hydraulic pressure. The only way to "trap" these particles is with very strong magnetism.

You can find them HERE. If you fancy a look at exactly how magnetic sump plugs work, you will find a handy video on each product page. Have a look below for links to just a few of the vehicles they cover:

- Subaru - Nissan - Mitsubishi - BMW - Honda - Audi - Mercedes - Toyota - Ford - Peugot - Mazda - Volkswagen - Renault - Volvo - Land Rover - Mini -

Gold Plug have designed their range to fit over 100,000 cars and motorbikes, so if you need any advice on the correct one for you, then please get in touch. Why rely on just any old drain plug, when you can have one from Gold Plug that saves your engine from the wear and tear of metal particles?

One last time, that code is: HG20 and is running until the end of March, so if you want to get 20% off either of these great brands, you'll want to get these orders in as soon as you can.
It's also worth keeping an eye on our current offers page HERE. There's all sorts of goodies to be found!

If you've got something a bit special and need a bit of advice, then give us a ring for a bespoke and impartial recommendation that is tailored to your specific set up. We're in the office Monday to Friday 8:30 - 5:30, on 01209 202 944 and sales@opieoils.co.uk. You can also drop us a message on here.

Until next time,

Releases / Millers Motorsport Oils - new range at Opies
« Last post by oilman on February 23, 2017, 13:22:51 »
We expect the majority of you have heard of Millers Nanodrive Oils by now - They were a real game changer when they were first introduced to the world of motorsports, providing a dedicated range of oils that were designed to increase power by reducing friction, all thanks to their nifty "Nanodrive Additive Package"
Well, the tech guys at Millers Oils have done it again. They've improved on what was considered the peak of performance oils by ushering in a new and improved range for their motorsport category, and Opie Oils are pleased to announce that they are on the shelf and ready to go - just in time for the race season!



Millers are driven by their obsession to produce highly innovative products which offer outstanding friction reducing properties. This is at the core of everything that they do. Due to an intense development programme, their new and improved range of next generation competition racing oils now incorporate their award winning NANODRIVE ultra low friction technology accross the board, with black bottles and a sleek new label design.

CSS (Competition Semi Synthetic) and CFS (Competition Fully Synthetic)
First off, we have the CSS and CFS range. Millers have significantly improved the capabilities of the already established CSS and CFS oils by incorporating a high performance, triple ester formulation, and then adding a measured amount of their unique NANODRIVE additive package. It's the addition of this little beauty that can effortlessly deliver up to 15% lower levels of friction than their predecessors.
The entire CFS range are all fully synthetic and has benefitted massively by this addition of the NANODRIVE additive package, offering a further 26% reduction in friction than their predecessors. Simply put, you can expect significantly improved levels of performance on track and road, delivering great value and performance levels in an affordable package - these are designed to increase an engines performance in respect of improved HP and increased torque.
You can find them all below:

There's also a couple of oils in this range that have been blended for specific applications:

- Millers Oils COR 20w-50: Exclusively formulated for short circuit racing and particularly suited to older classic sport applications
- Millers Oils KR2T: A bespoke CIK-FIA approved formulation for rotac and all high revving 2-stroke kart and bike engines

CFS NT+ (Competition Fully Synthetic)
Up next, we have Millers new flagship NANODRIVE NT+ Oils. They have completely redefined their criteria usually associated with a performance lubricant to bring an absolute top of the range product to those in the absolute top tiers and demands of motorsport.
This range features their new and improved NANODRIVE NT+ ultra low friction package. If you thought their previous range of Nanodrive oils were great, and they couldn't possibly improve on them, this NT+ package is proven to reduce engine friction by a further 15% over and above these previous multi-award winning products - this sets the NT+ range apart from all others in this arena, providing immediately noticable increased levels of power and torque as well as increased efficiency in your engines performance.

Millers engine oils weren't the only ones to benefit from this liberal application of the magic NANODRIVE package. Their gear oils and transmission oils have all been subject to this update. Their competition grade transmission oils have been formulated using a unique combo of improved chemistry and NANODRIVE additives to massively reduce friction against a standard oil. For use in manual transmissions, synchromesh, non-synchromesh, sequential gearboxes, transfer gearboxes, transaxles and hypoid differentials, there's a full range to choose from:

- CRX 75w-90 NT+ - CRX 75w-110 NT+ - crx 75W-140 NT+ -

Defender / Re: Big probs... Loss of drive
« Last post by Range Rover Ron on February 20, 2017, 14:06:26 »
Same problem on my Defender last year, it was the High/Low/Diff lock selector gear stick on the transfer box.
The arm had snapped.
Take off the rubber gear stick cover and have a look at the linkage.
My guess is you may find the arm broken.
A new arm is very cheap to buy and the job is quite easy, you just unbolt the six 10mm bolt heads (M6 thread) on the assembly and replace the link.
Mine snapped when I was on the top of the Wicklow Mountains, I jammed a piece of gaffa tape in to keep the selector engaged. If you don't jam it in as soon as you drive the link will jump out.

Range Rover / Re: P38 on Coils...
« Last post by Range Rover Ron on February 20, 2017, 13:58:11 »
Hi, sorry for being late, not sure if by now you will have made your decision.
I'd say stay on air bags, much better ride comfort.
People go on and on about airbags being a problem, they're not if you keep on top of them.
Most often there's a hole or a crack in one of the bags, this can be caused by age or by off roading.
Once it has a hole it keeps the air compressor running full time, in time, running constantly the compressor breaks.
A replacement is expensive, once a new one is fitted and the defective bag is not replaced, the same thing will happen again.
If you have 4 good airbags and a good compressor then you will have a fantastic suspension system.
I replaced mine on my P38 with 4 Dunlop bags and had great performance from them in every way.
The other thing to think about is that if you go for springs you need to tell your insurance company as it will then be classed as "modified".
Cheers. Ron.
