As well as the new parts, TMD Friction UK introduced a new range of Textar low-viscosity (LV) DOT4 brake fluid, now available in 250ml, 500ml, one liter and five liter quantities.

The new parts delivered during 2022 benefitted from TMD Friction UK’s new research and development facility in Seaton Ross, East Yorkshire, which subjects new pad and disc applications to an exacting testing regime to ensure optimal, OE or higher-quality parts are delivered to the automotive aftermarket.

Superior casting and complete surface coating ensure high performance, optimum safety and a long service life are the qualities reflected in all Textar products.

Customers can be assured of high-end braking quality with Textar products, with each new part going through extensive testing and quality assurance over a three-year development cycle before being released. Knowledge gained from its original equipment development is cascaded to its aftermarket product lines, so customers know they’re getting the very best.
