Oil seals, also known as O-rings, are integral components of any automotive engine and essential to ensuring it runs efficiently and reliably.
Automotive oil seals provide a barrier to keep oil, fuel, and other fluids in the respective system while preventing foreign contaminants from entering that system and causing damage.
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from small O-rings to larger gaskets, depending on the application and required level of sealing.
Automotive oil seals are designed to be durable, resilient, and reliable so that they can provide effective and long-lasting service without fail.
Quality automotive oil seals will ensure that critical areas are optimally secured and protected, improving the overall performance of your vehicle and prolonging the life of its components.

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.
