Check your tyres!

When you check your tyres make sure you check the inside edge. This tyre was quite worn on the outside edge but the inside edge was so badly worn that it was starting to separate and could easily have failed at high speed. Check your tyres regularly.

The other day a customer contacted us about a bad vibration coming from his Range Rover, it had been to several other garages and none of them were able to identify the problem . We road tested the car and at about 60 MPH the car can only be described as undrivable. one of our technicians noticed the tyres fitted to the car are noise suppression tyres that have a ring of foam rubber inside them to reduce road noise. the drivers side rear tyre had previously had a puncture and driven on when flat causing the foam to come loose and roll itself up in a ball inside the tyre, thus causing the wheel to be badly out of balance. Fitted a new tyre and bingo problem solved. Not the best photo but you can see the folded up foam rubber inside the tyre.

Is an MOT and a service the same thing?
Contrary to popular believe a service and MOT are not the same thing.
An MOT is an annual inspection of your vehicle that is required by law. It follows a strict checklist of criteria set out by the DVSA to ensure your vehicle meets a minimum standard of roadworthiness.
A car service is a vehicle inspection based on guidelines set out by your vehicle manufacturer rather than the DVSA and is a far more thorough inspection of the complete vehicle. It will focus not only on safety but also good health and condition of the vehicle thus preventing costly and inconvenient breakdowns.
To book your car in for a service and/or an MOT call us on 01268 769373.
