Due to taking on a fleet of trailers to maintain, I will not be taking on any more work for a short period whilst I get to grips with the extra workload.
Thankyou to all customers so far, your business is very much appreciated. I will be back on here and let you know when I open my books again.

I will still do the occasional post so you can see what I'm up to. πŸ› οΈπŸ”§

This not a goodbye, but a see you later πŸ€™

A Skoda yeti getting the premium treatment.
Standard service and inspection.

During the inspection I found one of the tyres had a huge crack around the inner sidewall. It goes to show how important vehicle service inspections really are. Lucky for this customer they can now get this sorted, and avoid a potentially dangerous situation.

Another happy customer and a vehicle good for another 10k miles πŸ€™

This customer contacted me to take a look at their vivaro with an engine management light on the dash. A quick diagnostic session showed engine oil dilution faults, and glow plug faults, and check of the DPF indicated multiple failed DPF regenerations.

Cause - faulty glow plugs, short journeys.

Symptom - higher dpf pressures, oil dilution, eml on dash.

Remedy - full service, replace glow plugs, flush Dpf / static regen.

The glow plugs were heavily corroded and proved difficult to remove, but they came out eventually.

Another happy customer and a vehicle safely back in the road πŸ€™πŸ› οΈπŸ”§

Nice little Sunday job yesterday. This customer works most days, so a Sunday was most convenient for them.
The customer complained that the clutch pedal would intermittently go to the floor and not raise again. After speaking to a few local garages and being told it required gearbox removal and a whole new clutch for ££££'s. The customer called me and I quickly identified that the clutch slave cylinder is a external rod type, meaning the part is cheaper and the labour is minimal. Another car back on the road, and another customer who has saved an awful lot of money. πŸ‘
