Brown & Geeson Ltd – the UK distributors of RaceChip – is pleased to announce the arrival of the new RaceChip XLR electronic throttle control which allows the response and sensitivity of the throttle to be controlled precisely.

Although the new XLR features some design changes and visual differences to the original throttle response control, the big difference is inside. The new XLR utilises completely new software that is much more sensitive to the response of the throttle.

The XLR vehicle applications list is the same as the current Response Control application list.

The XLR utilises an all new nerve centre called the ‘Brainbox’ which plugs into the throttle pedal, is mounted in the foot well and is controlled via the wired controller connected to the Brainbox.

An XLR Connect version is also available. This allows users to control the throttle sensitivity via the Bluetooth RaceChip App on their smartphone (the XLR Connect also includes a wired controller).

Price: From £189.00 inc VAT.

PFR28-215-25 REAR ANTI ROLL BAR BUSH

Quality wiper blades have always been an issue for Minis; having such a small surface area, as well as weak springs in the arm, the blade were always going to be fighting a losing battle.

To resolve this problem Mini Spares has designed and produced their own uprated wiper arm and blade set, which utilises a much heavier spring and a larger 11” blade. This upgrade ensures that the blade remains firmly in contact with the screen when driving at motorway speeds.

The blades are available in stainless steel for both left hand drive and right hand drive vehicles:

13H5630 – Wiper Arm – Left Hand Park (RHD) £12.84 incl. VAT
13H5627 – Wiper Arm – Right Hand Park (LHD) £12.84 incl. VAT
GWB220 – Heavy Duty 11” stainless steel wiper blade with wiper rubber £8.18 inc vat

The uprated wiper arms and blade will fit all Minis and many other classics that came with bright metal wipers.

Mini Spares can also supply black hook type arms and Super Bosch blades for MPI Minis.
