Quick job on today✅

2006 Ford Focus ST-2, one of the cleanest examples I’ve seen in terms of not being modified. 👌🏼

This one was just a little diagnostic as the car was a little bit lumpy on idle, even after new spark plugs installed. So after the car was plugged in there were no current DTC’s in the ecu but upon inspection of the engine bay i noticed that the Crankcase Breather (PCV)pipe had broken. This would cause the engine breathing abnormally therefore causing a slight lumpy idle👎🏼

The part has now been ordered and will be fitted soon 👍🏼🚗

Just what i love to see… Returning customers, Thanks guys 💪🏼👌🏼✅

I had a 2015 Ford Focus ST 2.0 TDCI for a cambelt replacement as the customer wanted to get the car remapped for a little bit more power. So he wanted to do the cambelt as a bit of insurance as the car had no service history of the timing belt being changed. 🪛

Old belt replaced with a quaility INA Schaeffler kit👌🏼

Job done, another happy customer😀✅

Todays Job🔧🪛

Had a little Mercedes A-Class that had a lot of water ingress coming in from the vents behind the rear bumper. The customer said she had taken it to a garage and they quoted over £400 for this job to be done and she would be without a car untill its fixed.

A short trip to Stoke-on-Trent later and the job was completed at the customer’s convenience on her driveway 👍🏼

Job well done 💪🏼✅

THANK YOU FOR USING SPG!😀

2 jobs for today, even if it is raining 😀💪🏼🌧️

1st customer complained that her car was taking a while to start up and when it was running there was a “12V Battery” message on the dash. Following a battery and alternator test, it turned out that the battery was at fault🪫👎🏼, the battery was 9 years old and obviously due to be changed on this 2015 Seat Leon FR.
Another happy customer ✅😀

The second job was a 2010 Volvo C30 for a no crank, no start. The car had no power when i got to it so after giving it a jump I plugged in the diagnostics and got to work. Looking at the codes and seeing what the issue is there was a code that stood out to me which was “C326 Communication Control Module Faulty signal”. After some research on this code, it showed that the car had an immobiliser issue and would need the key to be re-programmed to the car 🔑

Please get in contact for any questions or jobs that you need doing on your vehicle ✅😀

Today’s job🪛

BMW 135i E82 🚗

Customer says that his clutch was slipping under load due to him remapping his car. So he came to me for the clutch and flywheel to be replaced. 😀

The customer opted to go for an oem+ upgrade with a genuine BMW clutch kit from a BMW 550i which is a common upgrade on the N54 powered manual cars. These clutches handle alot more power than the stock N54 clutch⚙️.
In this case the customer also opted to go with a lightened single mass flywheel conversion also which will aid the power he is running in this car.

Never the less, another job boxed off and another happy customer!✅

Still putting a shift in, even if it is a bank holiday😀🔧

Had an 07 Vauxhall Corsa today that was an MOT fail. The car failed on seriously corroded front subframe. The customer provided the the brand new subframe for me to fit✅⚙️

While i was working on the car, I checked over the car and advised the customer to get the front discs and pads replaced as they were corroded on the inner face. I also advised the customer to replace the gearbox torque/dog-bone mount as the rubber bush part had perished.

Car now ready for a re-test✅

Another happy customer back on the road😀✅

Nice Job for a Sunday🔧😀

Had a 2014 VW Beetle 1.6TDI today for a new timing belt and water pump. ⚙️💧

The customer had noticed that the car had no record of the timing belt and/or water pump ever being replaced and the car had done over 74,000 miles, so came to me for the job to be done 👍🏼🪛

Upon stripping the engine down, it became apparent that the car was still running the same belt and water pump that it came out of the factory with 10 years ago, so it was definitely the right thing to do by replacing it. 👍🏼

CHECK YOUR SERVICE HISTORY AND REPLACEMENT INTERVALS✅✅

Today’s job!!!🔧⚙️

I had a little Mk6 Fiesta ST150 for discs and pads all round and a timing chain replacement, along with a full engine service.

The customer came to me and told me about a rattling noise coming from the engine bay and that he had ordered a timing chain kit for the vehicle and asked if i would carry out the job, OF COURSE I WILL!🔧

Another one all done✅⚙️
