The sun is finally out! Have a check of your hoses and belts to make sure that they are in good condition - whilst we can keep cool with a cheeky drink or an ice-cream in a sunny garden your car relies on belts and hoses to maintain the correct engine temperature. Call us to arrange to pop in for a quick check over to keep your car cool this summer :)

How's your battery?
When the weather warms up heat can take a toll on your vehicle’s battery. Pop in and we will inspect the battery terminals for corrosion, ensure a secure connection, and test the battery’s charge.
If your battery is older or showing signs of weakness, it may be wise to replace it before embarking on your summer travels to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Behind the scenes of a twin turbo replacement 😰

Swear jar is nearly full today. This is the reason behind garage labour rates. 😉

Tuesday Tip

‘Use it or lose it’ is a phrase that could be applied to air conditioning.
Air-con systems inevitably leak refrigerant gas over time, particularly if they aren’t used regularly.
Leaving your air-con off may save fuel, but you may need to pop in for a aircon re-gas – give us a call to book in for one
And yes, that means occasionally letting your vents blow cold in colder weather too.

1 year on 🙌

Tuesdays tip

Get that car serviced regularly!
Regular servicing can prevent higher repair bills in the future. If you have been neglecting your car and need to book in for a service give us a call for a quote 01803 308-481

Tuesday tip –
Check those fluids!
Fluids are your car’s lifeblood and failing to regularly check them and top them up can cause issues.
Your oil level should be between the minimum and maximum markers – and a light yellowy-brown colour if your car has a petrol engine - Dark, dirty oil should be replaced.
However - diesel engine oil accumulates soot as part of the normal combustion process, so dark-coloured oil isn’t unusual with a diesel car.
Coolant should be topped up with 50% distilled water and 50% antifreeze.
Don’t forget to top up that screen wash bottle too - Don’t be tempted to use washing-up liquid as it contains salt and other additives that will damage paintwork

Tuesday Tip
Look after your tyres!
You can have a set of tyres that last for ages with no issues, but all it takes is one tiny nail to change everything. Remember that overly low or high tyre pressures can change how your car drives and wear them out too. So get checking to see if your tyres are in good shape and they meet the national minimum legal requirements of 1.6 tread depth.
If you need a new tyre give us a call for a quote

Tuesday Tip
How often do you see a warning sign pop up on a car, only to ignore it? You should pay close attention to the warning lights on the dashboard. Some might be minor inconveniences, but others could indicate a larger problem that worsens over time if you don’t get it sorted.

So if you have a light on pop in for a diagnostic test - Don't say the car didn't warn you 😉

Phone line issues have now been resolved

Tuesday's Tip!
A faulty clutch can cause major inconvenience and even danger on the road. Don't let a faulty clutch ruin your plans!
Your vehicle’s clutch plays a crucial role as it enables you to change gears smoothly. Over time, your clutch can wear out and will need to be replaced. Here are some clutch failure signs to look out for:
- Your clutch feels spongy, sticks or vibrates when you press it
- You hear a squeaking or a grumbling noise when you press down on the pedal
- You can rev the engine, but acceleration is poor
- You have difficulty shifting gears
- You experience a 'slipping' clutch, which causes a momentary loss of acceleration
- There is a burning smell
If you experience any of these issues, your clutch needs attention.
Trust the experts at Hamling Engineering to quickly diagnose and fix the problem.
Our team has the knowledge and experience to ensure your vehicle's clutch is functioning at its best to keep you on the road. Call for a quotation 01803 308-481 or send us a WhatsApp message

Our team is growing which means our availability is too! Spaces available next week so give us a call to book your vehicle in 01803308481
