Clutch: Responsible for the smooth transition of gears your clutch is an integral part of your vehicle. The clutch is split into four parts: a clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing and the hydraulics. Each component works in tandem to allow the shifting of gears and each component needs to be kept in good working order.
Symptoms: Excessive revving with minimal acceleration, a low bite point on the clutch pedal, the clutch pedal becoming difficult to press.
Cambelt: The timing belt is responsible for keeping many of the moving components of the engine synchronized. It is imperative that it is replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications as a snapped timing belt can cause expensive and severe damage to the engine.
Symptoms: Damage associated with cambelts is often sudden and unexpected with little forewarning, this is why manufacturers advise on recommended changing intervals. When it comes to cambelts regular servicing offers a preventative measure that is far more preferable than repairs.

Providing repairs and replacements to the catalytic converter, diesel particulate filter and flexi pipe repairs. We are confident in diagnosing and providing repairs across the entire system.
Symptoms: Smoke coming from the exhaust, rattling noises along the exhaust system, excessive engine noise, a burning or gaseous smell, a noticeable decrease in acceleration.
