Does your engine need a little TLC? We stock a wide range of Forte (http://www.forteuk.co.uk/) engine cleaning products.
Flying off the shelves at the moment is the Forte DPF cleaner.
From their website:
... Fort├® Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner and Regenerator has been specifically formulated to combat the adverse effects that start/stop driving conditions have on Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration. With a continued stop/start driving pattern, soot loading builds up in the DPF since the ECU is unable to make the necessary small adjustments to the fuel injection timing to increase the exhaust temperature and initiate regeneration.
Fort├® DPF Cleaner and Regenerator uses a catalyst to adhere to the soot particles during combustion, lowering the temperature at which they can be burnt off. The soot particles will burn at lower temperatures in the soot filter area, helping to regenerate the filter, especially in cases where exhaust temperatures are low, like stop and go traffic, city traffic and short drives.
Compatible with all diesel engines

Did you know that we are main agents for Ebersp├żcher air and water heaters? Did you also know that your heater needs servicing regularly?
As with any machine that burns any material, these heaters clog up with unburnt fuel, reducing their efficiency.
Also, if the fault memory reaches its limit, the "brain" may shut down which can only be cleared by an agent or in a worst case scenario a new ECU may be required at a cost of many hundreds of pounds.
... When we service our heaters, we perform a full strip down, deep clean, rebuild, memory clear and functional test.
We can carry out full installations, specialise in VW T4 and T5 vans supporting main dealers and aftermarket builders alike.
We can work on anything from small car heaters, through trucks, plant equipment and boats to welfare units and portacabins.
We are also qualified to carry out warranty work on all types of equipment.
If you would like to speak to our heater experts, call 01792 469595 or email shorts.stores@btconnect.com.

Excellent service from the guys at Shorts, Turn around time is excellent, thanks fro repairing the alternator

Fobbed off with staffing issue excuses when my vehicle got there, apparently had work done over 4/5 weeks, spent ┬Ż1800 with them in the space of 8 weeks, then i receive an email saying that my vehicle has to be collected by the end of the week or they would be charging me for storage purposes!! No phone call just an email!! sent a transporter to collect my vehicle out of working hours which i was told wasn't a problem and the keys would be left in a designated place for my transporter! Keys were no where to be found and I'm ┬Ż250 down on a wasted trip down to staff incompetence and they cant even answer the phone during there stated business hours on a Saturday morning to resolve the problem they've now caused! Been constantly calling from 8:30 till 9:10 and no answer!! Wont deal with them again and most certainly wont recommend!!!
