At this time of year, your car gets filthy! So, we have purchased these car cleaning products from a local company Immaculate Reflection Car Care to give away to one lucky person.
The products are hand made and of fabulous quality, having used them on our own vehicles for the last couple of years.
This complete cleaning kit worth nearly £200, will get your pride and joy looking it’s best with a bit of elbow grease (not supplied!) and also helps support a local business.
All we ask is that you like this page, tag a friend (or a few!) who might like to win and share the post. They are the only rules.
The qualifying names will go into a random winner generator and be announced on 26th March 2021

This Audi A5 TFSI came into us as a non start. The customer had done some testing themselves and found the engine had no compression.
We investigated and found that the camshaft timing was out of time. This had caused internal engine damage and bent the valves.
After getting authority to repair, the engine was taken apart and the inlet valves replaced, all new timing chains, tensioners and guide rails were replaced and all other parts refitted using new bolts/gaskets/seals as necessary.
The car now runs perfectly 👍🏻
2015 VW Transporter in this week for some repairs and we found this totally insecure rear shock absorber during our routine vehicle safety check.
Most VAG suspension bolts are once use only, so we now keep a stock of our common use bolts and nuts. So we refitted the shock absorber using new fixings within minutes, getting this van back on the road ASAP!
That was a close one.
2015 Audi A4 2.0 TDI in for cambelt and water pump replacement using genuine parts followed by bleeding of the cooling system using diagnostic equipment.
If a jobs worth doing.........
We literally live, breath and eat Volkswagen.
These are the sausages produced at the VW factory in Wolfsburg and served to the staff each day. They have a unique part number 199 398 500 A and there are more than 6.8 million produced every year!!
Volkswagen produce more sausages per year than any other product or part!
The sausages and ketchup also taste great!
Watched about this on Richard Hammond's big did a tour of the Wolfsburg factory along with the production of the sausages
Bought a load of these when we went to Wolfsburg a few years back. Would love to find a UK supplier.
Will you be giving your customers a free sausage every time they have their car serviced
Can you order me a pack next time you order some please?!? I’ll have a gasket set and side repeater to go with please?!?
What are the emissions from the pan like?
Great, just fancying a currywurst. Looks a like I need to order some. Sausage Man looks a likely source.
Let me know when you're cooking Tom and I'll be happy to sample one...!
If love to try these.
German sausage jokes they're the Wurst.
2015 Seat Leon 2.0 Tdi having just had a replacement timing belt and water pump fitted using genuine parts.
Once this is carried out, the complex cooling system on these cars required bleeding out. To do this we use genuine diagnostics, as we have found other tools don’t complete the automated procedure correctly.
Get in touch if your car is due it’s timing belt replacement.
Agree we tried using aftermarket tools and it doesn’t complete but said it has. Odis only for us on these too. Keep up the great work lads
After several months of hard graft, the Jurassic Park Explorer is now ready. Having had the engine removed and repaired after failed timing chains.
Hopefully, 2021 will allow the vehicle to go to some shows 😎
Head over to Jurassic Park JP29 & EX04

Immaculately presented 2016 Ford Focus ST in for MOT, Service and brake fluid change today.
Brake fluid changes are an important part of your vehicles maintenance, ensuring that your braking system is free of moisture and contamination, greatly reducing the possibility of brake failure.
Diagnostics is not just a case of “plugging in”. This is often our first step, but there is so much more to understand. Knowing why the fault code is there, knowing what measurements to check, knowing what measurements should be there, and finally which part is faulty.
The testing below was done to prove the wiring to ECU from sensor was intact and good, the ECU was processing the information correctly and then finally being able to say with conviction that the new part required will actually fix the car! Sometimes it’s a £50 part and sometimes it’s £1000 part. Either way, we want the right answer!
You have hit the nail on the head there , most people even some in the trade seem to fully believe we have some sort of magic computers we can plug in and it tells us what's wrong .
Investment in special tools and training is what makes the difference between doing the job correctly, or not!!
Here is a VW Golf having its DSG dry clutch replaced, which needs to be correctly shimmed and then adapted using the dealer diagnostic tool for correct operation.
It requires many special tools and a lot of precision measurements to get it correctly setup.
All in a days work here at RCMR.
Great job! Car drives and changes gear so much smoother now. Thank you guys!
keep up the good work👌
