MOTO-QUIP FLEX N FILL FUNNEL
You service your vehicle at least once
a year or every few thousand
kilometres, but on that last trip,
your vehicle worked especially
hard to pull your Bush Lapa
Baobab through the soft sand
in Botswana. A check engine
oil message comes up on
your information display.
You don’t have to mess oil
all over the place, because
this flexible funnel has you
covered – and has a great
little mesh filter inside the
cup to keep dirt out.

go! Drive & Camp says
Makeshift funnels from
old Coke bottles work
just fine, but the extra
length on this spout
means you can reach
the oil cap easily,
and not spill
those precious
yellow drops.

Pulling power
DESERT PRODUCTS HEAVY
DUTY PULL STRAP
This product is reserved for when
one of your travel companions
in the convoy manages to get
stuck, which is usually not such
a big deal. The problem is, he’s
towing his caravan plus his boat
behind it. That’s not a problem
for this product. It’s 10 metres
long and can handle up to
10 000 kg of weight.
Price R903 from 4x4 Mega World
go! Drive & Camp says The 100 % polyester has protective sleeves covering
the high-tenacity yarn in certain sections and has reinforced eyelets.

shouldyousee flames emerging from under the bonnet. You
simplyloosen the Velcro strip on the bag, pull on the tabs at the

witha specially coated surface and should be able to put
outsmall fires with ease.

repeat jobbie. You must discard the blanket
after use.
