Case for retreading

• Tyre retreads can be contoured to the original new tyre profiles using a new system, according to Scorpion Retreads of Dorking, Surrey.

Alarm raiser

• A pager alarm which operates up to 2km away from the parked vehicle has been launched by Gemini Elertronica.

The Gemini Pager Alarm costs £179 and can be installed in an hour.
