I was called to this Ford ranger with a “floppy” gearstick. The gears were all working still but the stick just wobbled about.
After a bit of investigation a bolt was found to be missing where the linkage fixed to the top of the gearbox and a bush had come off behind the gearstick itself.
After refitting the “bush” a suitable bolt was found and fitted leaving the gearstick secure and no longer wobbly.
The picture shows the end of the replaced bolt high up on top of the gearbox.

I noticed this coil spring looked out of shape during a service, a background check found that the shock absorber had been changed recently after failing an MOT.
Closer inspection discovered that the spring was seated incorrectly causing it to bend out in the middle, luckily once the weight of the vehicle was lifted, I was able to lift the spring with a bar and twist in into the correct position meaning the fault was rectified at no further cost to the owner.

I was called out to this Nissan which would not move. When the clutch was engaged it just made a horrendous grinding noise and refused to move.
Fearing the clutch could have failed, I set about diagnosis, during which time I found that the near side drive shaft joint was turning without the shaft moving with it so all transmission was being lost at this point. the boot was then removed to find the exact fault. It turned out, the cir clip holding the joint to the shaft was missing and they had separated. The grinding noise was the 2 parts coming together and grinding the splines away leaving them unusable.
A new driveshaft was installed and the car was able to move again.

Coolant leak on an Audi…

After replacing rear brakes on this Audi, while checking to fluid level, it was noticed that the coolant tank was completely empty, which came as a surprise to the owner. When pressure tested it became apparent that there was a major leak at the oil filter housing where it bolts to the engine as well as a smaller leak at the thermostat.
It was recommended that the oil filter unit was changed as a whole rather than just the rubber gasket as it was made of plastic and is probably broken inside.
Once removed, the reason for the leak was obvious, the seal was swollen and split, and as predicted, the plastic had perished and broken.
New unit fitted and the car was good to go.

Customer states -

There’s an oil leak on this i10, not sure where but it’s leaving drips of oil over night.

Diagnosis -

Visual inspection confirmed a leak of engine oil built up on the differential of the gearbox.
There was also oil traces behind the inspection panel behind the flywheel.
Based on the location of the oil build up it was diagnosed as the rear crank seal, to be confirmed once the gearbox and flywheel could be removed.

Fix -

Once it he flywheel was removed, the diagnosis was confirmed, a clear leak at the crank end seal was letting engine oil leak into the bell housing and clutch.

New seal fitted, as well as a new clutch kit and a good clean and the car was up and running again, leak free.

Customer states -

my washers don’t work, the pump is making a noise but no water comes out.

Diagnosis -

Tracking the pipes back and a quick test of the water supply found that the fault lay in the tank itself, with was removed to check the gauze filter on the end of the pump intake which was completely blocked with gunk.

Fix -

A simple clean out and refit and the washers were back to full function.

Customer states -

There’s a strange knocking on the passenger side front wheel.

Diagnosis -

During routine maintenance, the owner on this car mentioned a noise on the suspension. Checking the suspension is an included part of the service and the fault had already been advised.
In this case, a new spring had been installed incorrectly causing it to touch the body of the car and cause a knock each time it moved.

Fix -

The coil (which was upside down and seated incorrectly) was removed and refitted so that it was now sat evenly.
Once back together the fault was fixed.

Customer states -

Diagnosis -

Fix -

New clutch kit and flywheel installed and the car was moving again.

Customer states -

The brake pedal has no resistance and brakes don’t stop the car very well.

Diagnosis - the V lines were re filled with fluid with a pressure tester and visual checks made for leaks. It was nosed that the passenger rear wheel appeared wet so the drum was removed and I was presented with this…
The wheel cylinder seals had burst and the fluid had leaked and created a paste with all the dust, similarly the strivers side had also became to weep. Also the parking brake arm had seized up causing it to bind.

Fix - new shoes, fitting kit, wheel cylinders, a good clean up and bleed all round, and the car was back on the road for a very happy customer…
