Have you a Peugeot / Citreon 1.2 petrol with an oil pressure light? Well this customer had and went to one of the local independent garages and was told his car needs an engine oil flush and oil change. After paying for diagnostic work and an oil change his light return on the way home. Thankfully we caught this one in time or he would have needed and engine very soon.

This is a result of the Wet Belt (Timing belt) breaking down and blocking the oil pick up in the sump.
We removed the sump, cleaned all the contamination from the pick up and replaced the timing belt.

🔥🔥🔥POOR HEAT INSIDE YOUR CAR ❄️❄️❄️
Here is an Audi A3 that came in with the symptoms of hot air on only passenger side of the car. We removed the interior Rad and confirmed by pouring boiling water into it and using our thermal image camera we could easily see our issue. As you can see by the pics what a new rad looks like under thermal imagery compared to the old one. We like to confirm our diagnosis for a first time repair.

Customer complaining his new battery he had fitted is going dead when the car is left sitting for 2 or so weeks so I gave Darrel the challenge of find the current draw on the battery. Within 30 minutes using good practice the draw was found on the radio unit light for tape deck staying on. As you can see using snap on amp hound and thermal image camera he was able to confirm his result. Good work Darrel.
