Ice & Snow Shoe Grips - No Falls This Winter!

We’ve brought back our best-selling ice & snow grips this winter just in time for the forecasted big freeze. Magic Spiker No Slip Rubber Grippers are a simple but effective accessory for adding some much-needed traction to any pair of shoes or boots you wear this winter. The Winter Feet are easy to attach to any type of shoe – just step on the durable rubber frame and pull it tight over the front and back.
You instantly have grip on slippery surfaces, no more precarious slipping and sliding on the icy footpaths, the short metal spikes helps you to grip no matter the conditions.
This could make all the difference between walking safely this winter, and taking a nasty fall.


These durable, rugged, well-made soles will look after you in the bad weather and handy and due to the rubber material fold compact so you can keep them with you in your car or bag.
They also attach easily right over your shoes making them quick to put on and take off when you’re in a hurry.

We have all tried them on a range of shoes here at LA and were pleased they fit over work boots, shoes - even Sallys high heeled boots! Our delivery is just in - get them now and stay upright when the freeze hits!

Ford Electric Heater Valve

At this time of year when you’re using your heater for the first time in a while, you may find that the heat stays the same no matter which way you turn the heater control knob – this is either because the valve that allows the hot water into the heater has seized, the electric motor that operates the valve has seized, or the pipes on the valve assembly have become brittle and broken off. The only way to remedy this is to replace the whole
valve assembly, which is normally located in the bulkhead underneath the windscreen.

We now have in stock replacement Genuine Ford electric heater control valves with Junior timer 2 pole connection to fit the following:

  • Transit + Mini Bus 2000 – 2006
  • Fiesta 1995 - 2002 
  • Street KA2003 – 2005
  • Puma 1997 – 2001
