Albion, Indiana, US
For auction is a vintage,unused Gulf engine block heater,rated for 600 watts @ 110-120 volts. It fits 1968-77 Cadillacs 472 & 500 cu.in. and 1958 -77 Ford/Mercury engines including 170,200,250,330,352,360,361,390 391,401,410,427,428,477,534 cu.in. 6 & 8 cyl. engines. "PLEASE NOTE; The exceptions being it will not fit 1958-68 Lincoln Mark III & IV 460 cu.in. or the Canadian Made 427,428,429 cu.in. from 1964 on". The heater and power cord look to be in good condition,other than some light storage soiling and darkening of the metel. The box and instructions/application chart is included (the box being complete,but poor condition). This may fit newer model engines (?) but was made in 1977,so the application list only goes up to 1977. I have not plugged it in to test it,because the heating element needs to be in water/coolant,so it is being sold as-is.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives
Mon, 16 Jul 2012Alfa Romeo has bolted the 875cc TwinAir engine from the Fiat 500 in to the MiTo to produce a congestion charge busting new MiTo. The new Alfa Romeo MiTo TwinAir is a logical move by Alfa to produce a MiTo with green credentials but which still offer a decent drive and a dose of fun. In the Fiat 500, the TwinAir engine is a bit of a hoot, sounding a bit like a cross between a lawnmower and a 2-stroke and with bags of character and lively to boot.

According to the survey carried out on behalf of KwikFit, one in ten (10%) UK motorists confessed they ‘never’ check their tyres and nearly one in seven (15%) admit they are currently experiencing a problem with their brakes but are not actively looking to repair it.
