Keep the Kids Entertained on Easter Car Trips with Carrentals.co.uk Handy Hints

Leave a comment

At Easter many families head off on holidays by car and this year award-winning car hire comparison site Carrentals.co.uk has issued a list of handy tips to help parents make car rides more tolerable.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, commented: “We all know that taking kids on long car journeys can be a bit of a hassle if they get bored. With the new tips we have issued parents can give themselves the best chance of enjoying a fun journey on which the kids will enjoy themselves too.”

Top Tips from Carrentals.co.uk

Plan Ahead – Writing down all the things you need to do and take makes life easier. Prepare well and make sure you have things like kids’ car seats, in car entertainment and first aid kits all ready to go and don’t leave them all until the last minute.

Timing is Everything – The time you set out can have a big impact on the enjoyment of your journey. Hitting the road very early in the morning means that the kids can sleep a couple of hours on the way and you can then get them changed into fresh clothes at a breakfast stop.

Pit-stops – Another fun way to keep the kids entertained is to plan your toilet and leg-stretching breaks at places of interest along your route.

Entertainment – The best way to keep kids quiet in the car. Portable DVD players, games consoles, mp3 players, e-book readers and other items are invaluable while traditional in-car games like I Spy and the Licence Plate Game can also be fun.

Snacks – Make sure you have stocked up on plenty of snacks and drinks ahead of hitting the road.

Think Outside of the Box – Another handy hint for keeping the kids busy is to kit them out with a disposable camera which they can use to make a picture scrapbook of the holiday.

Follow the route – For slightly older children, one fun way to stay entertained on a journey is to follow the route on a map with a highlighter pen.

Leave a comment

Effective immediately, the new RemoteKEY aftermarket convenience module designed by automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars is available for Audi A2. It allows one-touch opening and closing of all windows or closing of the sunroof by remote. A custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter makes installation a matter of minutes.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Wednesday – March 14, 2012 — The aftermarket specialist Mods4cars ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) has developed an add-on convenience module for the Audi A2, which gives drives the option to quickly open or close all windows from the original factory remote. Neither the remote(s), nor the car need to be reprogrammed.

Additionally, the RemoteKEY module will fully automatically close the sunroof from the remote. This gives owners the opportunity to quickly close the sunroof without the need to get into the car, should they get surprised by rainfall. Neat extra features are the ability to unlock the gas cap from the remote as well as a full auto close mode that always closes windows and sunroof whenever the car is locked.

Mods4cars has been in the business of developing automotive aftermarket electronics since 2002. “Now we can also offer added convenience to Audi A2 drivers”, says PR manager Sven Tornow. More features include one-touch close for all windows from the driver’s door switch as well as automatic door locking while driving.

Installation could not be simpler. The add-on module comes with a custom designed wiring adapter and is simply connected to the car’s control computer under the driver’s seat. “Our product can be installed by anyone in just minutes”, Sven Tornow concludes.

The module can be user programmed with all features individually configurable. It can be temporarily disabled as well. Every product comes equipped with a standard USB port for easy and convenient PC based configuration using a Windows software program and free of charge firmware updates, both available online.

The main field of work for Mods4cars ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) is convertible top modules called SmartTOP. Those modules are available for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The add-on module for Audi A2 is available now and priced at 169 Euros + tax.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

The Revolutionary 2-In-1 Pressure Washer & Cleaning Brush

Leave a comment

The Blaster Brush cleaning brush is claimed to be the easiest, fastest and most efficient carwash device in the world. Attach to a normal garden hose and off you go – a brilliant, complete car wash and rinse, done in 10 minutes, without bending, reaching or getting wet and using up to 75% less water! The Blaster Brush has a patented, non-powered, high-pressure washer attachment built in that allows the water to blast to an incredible power wash of up to 2 storeys high, whereas the old fashioned, conventional flow thru wash brush only reaches a mere 2 metres.

Although it may look like it, this is not a flow through brush. It’s far better!

Non-Powered, Easy-to-use & Versatile
Just use any standard garden hose and fit it into the bottom of the Blaster Brush’s handle, no need to go out and buy a completely new specialised hose or attachment, or an electrical extension, plugs or sockets. The water trigger controls the pressure washer spray and is conveniently situated at the base of the handle so there’s no extra effort or need to fiddle with taps.

Need to stretch over your car to get everywhere? Not anymore. The Blaster Brush has a lightweight aluminium telescopic pole where the length is adjustable to attain those difficult high reach places with the wash brush, like the roof, 4×4’s, boats and campers. It lets you effortlessly wash a section of your vehicle in just a few quick, short swipes with the washing brush, then blast off the wet soap with clean water immediately before it can streak and leave any soapy residue.

Cleaning your car has never been easier with the Blaster Brush pressure washer and cleaning brush! No more bending over or reaching leaving you with an aching back. The cleaning brush’s extra length and pressure washer means no more wet clothes, soap spills or chemicals on your hands. Since you won’t ever get wet again, you can wash your car in any weather with the best car wash products.

Non-scratch &Eco-friendly
The bristles on the cleaning brush are guaranteed 100% non-scratch and flare all the way around the rectangular design, ensuring your car’s surface is safe from any damages or scratches. The Blaster Brush pressure washer uses up to 75% less water then a normal hand car wash making it an eco car wash and saving you money on water bills. Washing and rinsing with the water jet power washer can be done simultaneously, saving you time from back tracking your steps and re-rinsing. Power washing couldn’t possibly be any more convenient and safe for your car using the Blaster Brush car wash brush with handle.

Effortless with Multiple Applications
All you need is a bucket, car shampoo and the Blaster Brush cleaning brush. No more sponges, chamois, chemicals, fancy useless gadgets or other messy car wash equipment. The water exit point is completely separate from the bristles, unlike its predecessor, the Flow Thru brush which releases water via the soapy bristles. Any stubborn grime on the car can be safely blasted off with complete ease using the power sprayer. No more scrubbing tirelessly away at mud, salt and filthy wheels and grills. It’s your first line of defence from corrosion and exterior surface damage.

The car wash brush can be used to clean refuse bins, boats, trailers, driveways, barbeques, lawn mowers, 4x4s and the list doesn’t end there:
• Boats
• Campers/ Caravans
• 4x4s
• Trailers
• Home windows
• Facia boards
• Paving
• Driveways
• Decks
• Outdoor furniture
• Barbeques
• Bicycles
• Lawnmowers
• Refuse bins
• Gutters

The patented Blaster Brush is the only power wash car washing equipment of its kind. The Blaster Brush is a must-have for any chain, DIY, home store and car wash equipment distributor because of its innovative design, efficiency and vast amount of outdoor uses. The Blaster Brush is expected to be the hottest new product on shelves by our distributors in Africa, Europe & Asia. Blaster Brush pressure washer and cleaning brush is seeking distributors and agents worldwide.

As car wash equipment manufacturers, we strive for the highest quality using only approved non-leak components. We believe the Blaster Brush is the best water-based brush product manufactured in China.

Everything is negotiable, except quality.

UK Travellers Should Plan Ahead as Summer Shortages Hit Spain Car Hire – Carrentals.co.uk

Leave a comment

UK travellers taking their summer holidays in Spain this year have been warned to plan ahead as news emerged of a rental car stock shortage in Spanish resorts this year.

The advice on planning ahead comes from leading car hire price comparator Carrentals.co.uk, which has advised that there could be up to 18,000 fewer rental cars available in Spain following the news that AurigaCrown has gone out of business. The website warns that the impact of the shortage will see increased hire prices and lower stocks throughout the busy summer months.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “There is a real chance that people heading to Spain this summer will find a shortage of rental cars when they come to book. As such it is vital to book your rental car as soon as possible and as early as possible – since there is every chance the busiest Spanish resorts are going to have lowers stocks, no availability at all or very high prices this summer.”

“We can help Brits out by allowing them to compare car hire from up to 50 of the sector’s leading hire companies. Our service offers people the best chance possible of getting a good value deal from a smaller provider if the bigger providers are sold out this year.”

Hire deals for a week’s rental in Malaga are available from just £17* a day right now, with other deals to be had like £18* a day in Alicante, from £19* a day in Palma and from £21* a day in Ibiza.

Gareth goes on: “Rental suppliers who had their own customers’ reservations in place with AurigaCrown before they went bust have had to transfer those bookings to alternative providers. However, we do also advise any tourists who have got a deal in place already to rent a car in Spain this holiday season to check their paperwork and see who their supplier is. Then you can contact them to check the status and availability of your reservation.”

Carrentals.co.uk compares car hire deals from up to 50 rental companies, including Alamo, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt in over 15,000 locations worldwide.

Find Out How the Electrical Power System Of Your Car Functions

Lots of people who drive their vehicle are unaware of what triggers your car to start up. The automobile has an electrical system, which is much more than a cluster of wires. The car requires electricity and it is provided by these small wires, which are only a part of a large system. Almost all cars today have some type of this very complex and technologically advanced system. This system has numerous components such as an alternator, voltage regulator, a starter, fuse panel, solenoid and a battery pack.

The central heart of the car is the battery, but all of the other elements are just as important. All of the electrical necessities are delivered by the battery, which has 120 volts of power. The battery is recharged continually by the car’s alternator or generator. The generator is attached to the engine by a belt and keeps the battery charged up and the car running. When the starter is started up, the electricity that is stored in the battery is sent directly to the starter. The battery is thought of as the soul of the electrical system of the car given that it holds the power generated by the electrical system. The car can’t move without the energy that has been generated.

Electrical elements such as the car’s stereo and clock receives their power from the battery when the engine is not turned on completely. The battery pack features six cells, and they are divided by positive and negative plates through insulators. An electrolyte substance composed of water and sulfuric acid covers the cells. The alternator also generates electricity that is utilized to run the ignition and engine controls. The car engine helps the alternator produce electricity through a belt drive and converts power from AC to DC. The starter uses the most power which is an essential element of any car. Word of advice for locating a great windshield crack repair firm: Visit to Yelp and look for “Garden Grove windshield repair“.

Once you have got a general idea of the way the electrical system in your car works, you also have a good idea of how your car works in general. With this know-how, you will be able to determine what may potentially be wrong with your car. Utilizing this as a starting place, you should try to learn more about how your car works.

Every day people drive their car or truck but most have little idea how the car runs. For many people, it is a challenge just to have their car go through a regular maintenance. It’s way too easy for us to not give some thought to it, but we need to make sure that the electrical system is appropriately maintained.

The battery pack is continuously being recharged by the generator, or alternator. The alternator is connected with the engine by way of a belt which recharges the battery and keeps the car moving. As soon as you turn the key, electrical power from the battery is sent to the starter in order to start it up. That’s the reason when your battery is dead the starter won’t start the car. That’s why the battery is such a necessary part of your car’s overall system. It stores all of the power needed to make the car move, and also to permit the things such as clocks, radio and car alarm to function.

Each of the electrical components of the car links to the all-important fuse panel. The panel contains fuses that keeps the electric powered system from overloading or short circuiting. If you at least have a general idea of how your car’s electrical system works, it will maybe help you when you next need repairs.
