Power is restored, phones working so hopefully we will be able to catch up. For anyone worrying about the kettle situation, Sally brought in the emergency back up tea system!!!🀣

29/12/2025

We are currently experiencing a power failure along with around 400 other properties. Our phone system is reliant on electricity to work, so we currently have no phones, ramps, or main lights. On top of all of this we can't make a cup of tea!!!! We hope to be up and running asap but are reliant on the electricity gods! Thanks for your understanding.

I was recently asked how much it costs to fit an engine. I gave a price and the customer found the labour time rather high as back in the day he and his brother could chuck an engine in an Es**rt van on a Saturday afternoon! Ah the good old days! So, where to start. Well, de gas aircon, drain all fluids, removal of all front bodywork and radiators, remove complete engine and gearbox unit. Strip, clean and inspect all components to be swapped to replacement engine. Reassemble, refit, refill all fluids, replace air con gas and refit all body panels. Finally, road test. Piece of cake really!!!πŸ˜„

We're often asked about service intervals on modern cars, we would advise an oil change every year and if you're doing a high mileage, every 8000 miles. This helps to protect the new wet belts from oil contamination, and all engines from premature wear, but there is more to a service than that. We test items like brake fluid for water contamination, check the battery condition, check tyres, suspension, lights, washers and wipers and many other items even on a small service. No service book, no problem, we supply one free of charge. We even give you a little bag for your locking wheel nut and all from just Β£132.00 inclusive. If you need a service, just give us a call, we're here to help.

So, following another busy week with wet belts, clutch replacement, servicing and general repairs we were presented with a Ford focus with coolant loss. Following some in depth pressure testing the fault was traced to a leaking heater matrix. Nice easy job once you strip out most of the interior! As can be seen in the final picture, the car was presented to the customer as good as new with all leaks sorted and everything working as it should.

Yesterday Saturday 18th January we said a final farewell to the internal scaffold and crash pad fitted for our safety during the roof replacement at the garage. Whilst there is some internal finishing to be carried out, we are able to welcome back our motorhome and larger vehicle customers. We would like to thank all our customers for your understanding during the last few months.πŸ˜ƒ
