If you’ve ever had to change a fuel filter on an injection classic Mini you will know that it is necessary need to remove the whole bracket in order to remove the filter as the securing bolt is on the wrong side for easy access. This is because the bracket was originally used on other models (Rover parts bin special!).

To make life easier Mini Spares has redesigned this bracket so that it splits in half: the bolts are on the correct side so that there is no need to remove the whole bracket from the subframe when changing the filter.

Order as part number WJU10142, at £23.40 inc VAT.

M-Style is pleased to announce that it can now offer the REMUS Powerizer. This is what most would consider to be a “piggy-back ECU” and to some extent that is correct.

The Powerizer takes the signals from the ECU and enhances these with the new parameters that are installed on the unit in so doing optimising up to a 1,000 times per second. The biggest benefit of this unit is that it doesn’t push the limits of the engine or engine components.

The Plug & Play nature of the unit means that it can be easily removed from the car or blanked off for any servicing/warranty work. Thanks to the increase in torque at lower RPM you save on fuel consumption too!
– Up to 25% more power.

– Simple installation/removal.
– Fuel saving up to 1L / 100Km.
