Land Rovers and oil leaks go hand in hand, but we tracked this one down quickly! 🔍

🔧 The Culprits: Oil was seeping from both the turbo oil feed line and the oil cooler/filter housing assembly.
🔧 The Fix: Replaced the turbo line seals and installed a complete new oil filter housing and cooler.

Degreased, tested, and leaks are completely gone! Back to driving smooth and leak-free. 🛣️✨

We had a Renault Trafic in with a blocked DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) fault.

Scanning for fault codes is always step one, but a code only tells you what failed, not why. To fix it properly, we ran a full assessment to find the root cause:

🔹 Initial find: The DPF pressure sensor was giving erratic readings.

🔹 Root cause: Physical inspection revealed split and deteriorated DPF pressure pipes, preventing the sensor from reading correctly.

🔹 The Fix: Replaced the split pipes and pressure sensor, checked Renault's database for software updates, and had the latest software remotely installed.

🔹 Validation: Took it on an extensive road test to capture and analyze live data, confirming the system is fully operational and regenerating properly.

Saving our customer time and money by fixing the actual cause, not just treating the symptom! 🚚💨

Ford Wet Belt Specialists 🛠️
We’ve posted about this several times before, but we really like to keep spreading the word because it saves engines—and thousands of pounds for our customers. LCM is your local specialist for Ford wet belt replacements.
How busy are we with them? We are currently booking 3 to 4 of these jobs every single week. 📈
Our technicians have the specialist timing tools and experience to look after both of Ford’s main wet belt engines:
🚗 The 1.0 EcoBoost Petrol Engine: Found in everyday family favorites like the Fiesta, Focus, C-Max, and EcoSport. If these belts are left too long, they fray, block the oil pickup, and starve the engine of oil.
🚐 The 2.0 EcoBlue Diesel Engine: Found in the backbone of Ford’s commercial fleet, including the Transit Custom, full-size Transit, and Ranger.
Keeping these fresh is absolutely critical for keeping your business on the road.
If your vehicle is approaching its age or mileage limit for a belt change, don't leave it to chance. Going to a specialist garage ensures the job is done to factory standards without main dealer prices. 🤝

You definitely don’t see many of these every day! 🔱

We had this beautiful Maserati Levante in the workshop for front brake discs and pads.

The customer requested genuine Maserati parts, which we supplied and fitted with zero hassle. The best part? We saved them a chunk of money compared to main dealer prices and got the job turned around way faster than the dealer could book them in for. ⏱️💰

Main dealer standards without the main dealer markup or waiting lists! 🚘🔧

Major overhaul on this Ford Fiesta! 🛠️🚘

The customer brought it in for a full suspension and brake refresh, so we gave it the complete treatment:
🔧 Shocks all round for a smooth, controlled ride
🔧 Fresh rear axle bushes to eliminate those rear-end clunks
🔧 New front discs & pads for sharp, reliable stopping power
🔧 New front drop links & top mounts to crisp up the steering
That’s practically a brand-new front and rear end setup! ✨

BMW 1 Series in with a misfire! 🚘👇

After diagnosing, we found an oil leak had worked its way into the number 1 injector well.

We swapped out the worn rocker cover gasket to stop the leak, then installed a fresh number 1 injector and ignition coil. Fired her back up and she’s running as smooth as silk again! 🛠️⚡

Got a misfire or an oil leak? Don't leave it to get worse—get it checked early! 👨‍🔧
