Suits you sir
Imagine how many you could fit on your drive.
No almost about it. Two would fit
Perfect size for you 😉😆
A replacement loan car has been added to the fleet this week. This 2013 Seat Ibiza has a 1.4 petrol engine which is reliable and returns good MPG.
It’s no Lamborghini, but it drives nicely and has A/C!
We don’t charge for the use of our loan cars, so if you want to use one, just ask when booking in your car.
Lovely condition Porsche Boxster with automatic gearbox faults traced to a faulty gear position switch mounted on the gearbox.
New Genuine Porsche part fitted, along with a pair of new gearbox mountings and this car is ready to return to its proud owner.
This 2016 BMW 520d came in with the engine light on. Initial fault code read suggested we had a low boost pressure fault and a faulty lambda sensor.
Part of our diagnostic process is to carry out a visual inspection, this is so important. I was expecting to see a split turbo hose, however this car had the linkage missing on the turbo!! So a new linkage repair kit was fitted.
Next issue to check was the lambda sensor, I obtained the original wiring diagram through our BMW login. We have this on an annual subscription, this allows us to look up all the correct information direct from BMW.
Once the under body panels were removed, the power of a visual inspection came into its own. There was a section of wiring missing where a rodent had been eating it away!
Sensor tested ok, so the wiring loom was repaired and the fault was resolved.
By investigating the faults correctly, we were able to save the owner £250 on a new sensor.
Yet another Mercedes with an ABS/ESP fault.
Detailed and accurate testing proves the fault to be the passenger front sensor failed.
New sensor fitted and we now have an output signal for the ECU to see. (And our oscilloscope!)

Got another one here with that fault 😂
The phone lines are manic today! Please bear with us, we will return your calls as soon as we can.
Stunning 1998 BMW Z3 that was in for some repairs is going back to its owner today.
We don’t see many of these anymore, but after the repairs, it was a pleasure to take it for a road test.
Having the airbag warning light showing on the dashboard is an MOT fail and prevents the airbag system working in the event of an accident.
This VW Beetle had its light on and was failed on its MOT by another garage.
After an initial diagnostic check, it showed us several circuit and resistance fault codes, with totally incorrect live data in the control module.
After a bit of a visual inspection, the cause of the light on was clear! The owners dog sits in the passenger foot well and decided the airbag wiring looked tasty!
Seat removed, wiring diagram to hand and the wiring repaired to a high/safe standard and fault code cleared no problem.
