Back at after the bank holiday weekend!

No spanners to throw around on this Porsche this morning, anybody can do that. Just in-depth diagnostics.

This Porsche was left with a flat battery after 2 days of standing. Not good. By utilising our Draw Monitor tool we were able to measure a drain in excess of 2 Amps.

After tracing the drain and isolating the suspect component we were able to achieve the correct level of parasitic drain. Below 40mA.

New alarm siren required here.

Our in-house DPF cleaning machine has been working hard today.
5 cleaned in total so far!

Here is an example of what no other cleaning process can do. Thats to remove the ash left behind from regeneration that builds up on higher mileage vehicles.

This process back-flushes the DPF to remove soot and ash deposits back out the same way they came in. This deep cleans the entire filter from what has settled in the lower sections.

After all the driveway dreamers have tried all the potions to “clean” your DPF. Give us a call and we will clean it the right way!

Give us a call or drop us a message to get booked in.

Ford Ranger 2.0 Ecoblue Timing Belt completed today.

Caught just in time too! The timing belt was well on its way to destruction as can be seen with the amount of rubber particles inside the sump and inside the oil pick up pipe.

Full kit installed including timing belt and tensioner, oil pump drive belt, new sump and timing cover etc. All genuine Ford parts used.

2020 model with only 51K miles covered.

Is yours in a similar state? Better to be safe!

Transit Custom Autowatch Ghost Install

This local building company was fed up with vehicle theft. Having recently had his Transit tipper stolen, making this the 4th in 10 years of trading, he decided to protect all his vehicles permanently.

Quick demonstration of how the immobiliser blocks the engine from being started without entering the owners unique code. Once entered the vehicle can be started as usual.

Totally undetectable and covert and cannot be overcome. Fit and forget solution to vehicle theft.

Please share this post to anyone who may need to know! Following a recent theft of vans and Nissan Navara pickups in the Bingley area now is the time to take preventative measures!
