🛑 NEW BRAKE PADS? WHAT ABOUT YOUR ROTORS?

At Midas Northwood, we inspect the condition and thickness of your brake rotors and determine whether they can be machined correctly or should be replaced.

"It's only a heater fault..." they said. 😅

A Toyota Hilux came into the workshop with an intermittent heater problem. The initial symptom seemed simple enough, but as every technician knows, the real fault is not always where you expect it.

🔍 Investigation started with low coolant level

After pressure testing the cooling system, our technician traced the issue to a leaking EGR cooler/valve assembly, allowing coolant loss.

🛠️ Further checking we discovered the vacuum pump at the rear of the engine was leaking oil. Unfortunately, that's not a quick repair on this engine and required further dismantling to access properly.

But it didn't stop there...

While carrying out the repair and with the rocker cover already removed, it made sense to replace the injector washers and seals at the same time – preventative maintenance that can save a lot of future expense.

What started as an intermittent heater concern quickly turned into several days of diagnosis and repairs.

This is why modern vehicle repairs require:
✅ Accurate diagnosis
✅ Experience and technical knowledge
✅ Looking beyond the obvious fault
✅ Fixing issues properly the first time

Sometimes the biggest jobs start with the smallest symptoms.

Well… we’re almost halfway through the year already, and to be honest, the team is feeling it a bit!

We’ve decided the boys have earned a proper long weekend, so both Midas Northwood and Northwood Tyre Centre will be closed Saturday and Monday for a well-deserved break.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far this year — we genuinely appreciate every booking, referral, coffee drop-off, and recommendation.

Enjoy the long weekend, stay safe on the roads, and we’ll see you all for the second half of the year on Tuesday 2nd June.

— The Team at Midas Northwood & Northwood Tyre Centre
