Q1: What are idle control valves?
A1: Idle control valves are parts of an engine that regulate the amount of air that comes into the cylinders and prevent them from idling too low or too high, improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.
Q2: How do idle control valves work?
A2: Idle control valves work by controlling air flow with a specialized build in regulator that responds to the engine's RPM. As the RPM changes the valve either opens or closes slightly to ensure that the engine stays within the proper RPM range.
Q3: What are the benefits of using idle control valves?
A3: The main benefit is improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. The idle control valves help the engine to run more efficiently and reduce emissions, meaning a cleaner and greener driving experience. They also reduce wear and tear on the engine, helping to extend its lifespan.

Ring RTC Tyre inflator
Bought the tyre inflator because of the unreliable service station tyre inflators.
The buying process online through APD was straightforward. Ordered the tyre inflator late afternoon and received it 2 days later via the Royal mail.
I have a car, campervan and motorbike. I like the wind in cable feature keeps everything neat and tidy. The inflator is easy to use on all three vehicles. Appreciated the chocolate.
Very quick despatch and delivery time
Good updates. Items exactly as described. All fitted and car back on the road.
Personally I found them to be very...
helpful response to emails relating to my purchase was within the hour and they offered the best price on the parts I needed had to wait a couple of days longer than usual due to the parts that I needed was out of stock (but I was made aware of this before ordering) would happily use them again.
Very helpful company.
I ordered a cabin filter on their website which was out of stock. They contacted me by email & offered a replacement which wasn't really what I wanted so they immediately sent a refund. I found another that was suitable, they happily ordered it for me and called me when it arrived in my local store to collect.
Helpful people giving great service
The Wiper blades I ordered were competitively priced and promptly delivered. Unfortunately there was an issue with the fitment and this is where APD showed their commitment to great customer service. They were most helpful in resolving the problem to my complete satisfaction.
