Vehicles that run on diesel require specialist care to ensure that their engines are always in tip-top condition. Here at MotorNuts, we supply a comprehensive collection of diesel treatments and additives from top brands like Millers Oils, MPEX, STP and Forte. In this edition of the MotorNuts blog, we look at the complete diesel detox delivered by the Forte Diesel System Triple Treatment Kit.

The Complete Diesel System Treatment Kit by Forte contains three quality additives, each designed to treat a different aspect of a diesel engine. The kit contains:

DPF Cleaner & Regenerator

Specially formulated to combat soot buildup caused by start-stop driving, this product makes use of a catalyst that adheres to soot particles during the combustion process. After treatment, the particles in the soot filter area will burn at lower temperatures, which helps to regenerate the filter during start-stop driving where exhaust temperatures are low. Stability of the DPF system is improved and soot emissions are actively reduced.

Diesel Turbo Cleaner

Incomplete combustion leads to particles adhering to an engines variable vanes, causing them to stick and reducing the power and efficiency of diesel engines. Forte Diesel Turbo Cleaner, which is compatible with all diesel engines, helps to clean variable geometry turbos without any need for dismantling and also cleans EGR valves.

Advanced Formula Diesel Treatment

The final element on Forte's Diesel System Treatment Kit both cleans and lubricates the entire fuel system, improving overall engine efficiency and power. This reduces downtime and the need for replacement of engine components, whether the engine uses a direct or indirect injection system. Black smoke emissions are lessened, injector spray patterns are restored and fuel pump life is extended, without affecting the diesel fuel's cetane rating.

At least once in every driver's lifetime, the dreaded punctured tyre (or, even worse, a blowout) is going to happen and so it's essential to be prepared for this eventuality. Well over half of new vehicles are not supplied with a spare wheel: once considered essential, this is instead 'replaced' with foam sealant or tyre slime. These products are as good as useless when it comes to blowouts or large punctures.

There really is no replacement for a spare wheel but the difficulties encountered with installing them, coupled with their unwieldy size, mean that many people simply choose to risk travelling without one. But there is a solution: the RoadHero Space Saver Wheel.

RoadHero Space Saver Wheels, which are available from here at MotorNuts for most of the major makes and models of vehicle, are designed to fit neatly into the storage space beneath the boot floor. They are designed to provide a reliable temporary solution to a damaged tyre: as long as you drive below the RoadHero limit of 50mph, the space saver wheel will allow you to continue driving to a garage, where your original wheel can be replaced.

Each RoadHero Space Saver Wheel supplied by MotorNuts comes complete with a jack and wheel brace designed to make fitting the wheel quick and easy. Both the wheel and these accessories are supplied in a handy storage bag for your convenience.

Owners agree that the RoadHero Space Saver Wheels represent unmatched peace-of-mind when driving, particularly over long distances. As with our entire product portfolio, MotorNuts supply this crucial item at the most competitive price: one small investment could save you plenty of time, worry and money in the long run.

Our expert team may still be able to source a suitable Space Saver Wheel if you find tthat your vehicle is not listed on our website.

How a car looks on the outside is a big part of the decision whether to buy it or not. Everything from major aesthetic considerations like body shape and paint job to seemingly trivial details like the wheel trims and style of door handles has an impact. The interior is just as important, particularly the visual appeal of the seats.

Car seats, like anything made using fabric, are particularly susceptible to becoming dirty and suffering the negative effects of general wear and tear.  A quick, easy and cost-effective way to eliminate these potential problems, while still ensuring your vehicle's interior retains that aesthetically pleasing look, is with seat covers.

That's where MotorNuts, your one-stop online shop for all things vehicular, come into the picture.

Getting exactly the right shade of exterior vehicle paint is essential to ensure invisible repairs. MotorNuts have teamed up with highly-renowned paint manufacturer MPEX to bring you colour-matched paints in over 77,000 different shades, encompassing RAL, Pantone and BS options.

Every vehicle has a paint colour code or paint name, which allows us to exactly match the required colour. For most vehicles, simply entering your registration number on our website should be enough for us to locate this code but some vehicle makes and models you may have to find it manually: here we tell you how to do just that.

Firstly, you need to find the information sticker/plate on your vehicle: most cars produced since the 1980s have a sticker/plate to identify information about the vehicle. The sticker/plate will list things like the make of car, the date and country of manufacture and that all-important colour code.Common locations for the sticker/plate are inside of the drivers or passenger door, or under the bonnet . The VAG group vehicles VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda can be found in the boot under the carpet on a white sticker. Once you have located this sticker/plate, look for the colour code. Many stickers will use the words 'paint' or 'colour' but on some models will be abbreviated to C. If your vehicle has trim of a different colour, this will be represented by the abbreviation Tr and will have a different code from that of the main bodywork. The number of letters and/or numbers in the specific colour codes will vary between manufacturers.

Colour-matched paints are available as an aerosol, touch up pot or high-precision touch up pen. Find out more details on the product page and look forward to a smooth, professional paint finish for YOUR vehicle with MotorNuts!!

A massive crowd of well over 140,000 people at Silverstone was delighted to see Lewis Hamilton, five-time winner of the British Grand Prix, storm into first place for a record sixth time. The win is Hamilton's seventh from a total of 10 rounds, puts him a full 39 points clear from his closest competitor Valtteri Bottas in the championship standings and takes him one step closer to his sixth world title.

Hamilton took advantage of a safety car to jump ahead of  Bottas, his Mercedes teammate, in the nailbiting race. His final lap was nothing short of sensational: he achieved a new track record and scored a bonus point for the achievement.

Hotly-tipped Charles Leclerc, driving for Ferrari, ended up finishing third after incurring a 10-second penalty for causing a collision between Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. Vettel crashed into the back of Verstappen, sustaining damage that caused him to drop all the way back to 16th place: Verstappen himself managed to finish in fifth.

Another British driver, George Russel, also enjoyed success at the British Grand Prix. Although he finished in 14th place, this was a career best for the novice driver. Lando Norris, also from the UK, was less successful, crossing the line in a disappointing 11th place on this, his maiden home event.
