Take the danger and aggravation out of lifting your MINI with the ECS Tuning Jack Pad Adapter. Designed to fit the head of a standard floor jack, the adapter has a rectangular head that firmly engages the chassis jack pads.

Made of black anodized aluminum for added strength and corrosion resistance, the adapter fits the head of most hydraulic floor jacks, including the excellent Schwaben Low Boy.

GFB expands the DV+ range with a direct-fit solution for the weak factory diverter valve used on many European vehicles. The solenoid coil itself from the factory-fitted valve is great- the ECU opens it faster than any pneumatic valve so why replace it? The weak point however, is the valve mechanism itself. GFB’s DV+ solves this problem by replacing the valve parts with an anodized billet aluminium housing, fitted with a brass piston machined to exacting tolerances.

New to GFB’s ground- breaking DV+ range is the T9353, which is designed to fit in the tight confines of the MINI N18 engine bay. Less space surrounding the factory diverter valve on the N18 engine means the current MINI DV+ (Part T9352) cannot be used. Instead, the T9353 kit splits the DV+ into two parts, the valve, and the solenoid, (which are joined by hoses), meaning the solenoid can be mounted lower in the engine bay out of the way.
