Care has to be taken around open brake or fuel pipes as these can still leak or drip even when they are not under pressure. The guys at Laser Tools have a new fluid lock set which seals off these pipes in a matter of seconds. Manufactured from lightweight and strong anodised aluminium, with a composite nylon sealing screw, the kit is designed for years of use and provides an effective seal to metal brake pipes when the braking system has been opened, stops leaking and dripping fuel lines and keeps open air-conditioning pipes free from contamination. Available from Laser stockists now at a typical price of £60.00 but it’s always worth shopping around to get the best prices and special offers. More details from www.lasertools.co.uk

RoadPilot now has a mobile phone App that will locate speed camera locations. Available for most platforms, including Android, Apple, Blackberry and Nokia, this App incorporates more than 5,500 fixed speed camera locations in the UK. Obviously this is not a licence to speed, but does mean you are warned on unfamiliar roads when you might otherwise creep over the speed limit. The RoadPilot App is available on a monthly tariff (£2.99), annual (£14.99), or a three-year (£29.99) subscription basis. RoadPilot Mobile can be downloaded from Apple App Store (http://www.apple.com/itunes/), Android Market Place (https://market.android.com), Blackberry App World (http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/appworld/) and Nokia Ovi Store (http://store.ovi.com/).

Good that the sun’s starting to come out… but at this time of the year, it’s often at an awkward low angle that can shine rather uncomfortably at the driver. Polaroid has a new selection of driving glasses that offer UV protection and cut down glare. Lightweight but very durable, they are scratch and shatterproof and can even ‘stand the rigours of the most untidy glove box’. To find out more, go to: www.polaroidsunglasses.co.uk

Given the big Quad test we have in this month’s issue, it seems appropriate that we’ve heard from the guys at Storm Buggies and their Kid’s Quads. These superb little machines (right) are what every young off-roader wants – and every Dad wants to build. Not only do they look great, they have dual wishbone front suspension, twin shocks, and three-speed auto box. Given the spec, the £849.95 price tag for the self-assembly Kazuma 110cc quad seems pretty good value to us. It’s a mid-size bike for kids of 10 upwards and has a speed limiter which means you can set the speed low (5mph) when starting – but we bet it’s not long before you’ll hear, “Dad, can you take the limiter off now?”. When you do, these quads will manage 40mph!  The Storm website explains all the other safety features and advice should you be concerned. They also do Kids Quad Party Hire for kids from six to 12 years old, it’s worth checking out the excellent website for more details. Of course, you’ll then get seduced by the Storm Buggy range (top) – including some amazing road legal models!

This off-roading malarkey can get a bit messy at times! Good to have some seat protectors, then. These new covers from Summit are a universal fit, water resistant and most important they are machine washable and so you can use them again. They are available at the usual outlets and will retail around £12.99 for a front or rear set. We also like the pet protector, which is like a huge ‘bag’ that hangs between the front and rear seats and keeps man’s best friend from becoming an ex-friend when covered in mud. These protectors will retail at around £24.99. If you want to find out more, go to www.mountneyltd.com or call 01525 383055
