A routine service uncovered a bigger issue. 🔧

This GU Patrol came into M Carter Automotive for a service and check-over, with the customer complaining of clutch issues.

After a thorough inspection, we found the sump was leaking. To ensure a reliable, long-lasting repair, we carried out:
✅ Exedy Heavy Duty clutch kit EXEDY Australia
✅ Genuine Nissan rear main seal
✅ Genuine Nissan sump gasket

Doing the rear main seal and sump gasket while the gearbox was out saves the customer on future labour and gives peace of mind for years to come.

This BMW X5 N47 arrived as a no-start.

During our diagnostic process, we noticed smoke being forced back out through the intake manifold while cranking.

That’s not normal—and it’s a huge clue.

Rather than throwing parts at it, we use symptoms like this to guide our diagnosis and pinpoint the root cause.

What do you think caused it?

Cooling system sorted before it became a bigger problem. 🔧

This BMW 330i came into M Carter Automotive with a coolant leak. After diagnosing the issue, we found the culprit.

We replaced the faulty junction, pressure-tested the cooling system, and had the BMW back on the road in no time.

Don’t ignore coolant leaks—they can quickly lead to overheating and costly engine damage.

VDJ LandCruiser owners — this is something you don’t want to ignore.

These engines are known for sucking in fine dust and dirt, especially in harsh Aussie conditions. Over time, that contamination can cause serious engine wear… and by the time you notice it, the damage is already done.

Loss of power, increased oil consumption, or even complete engine failure — it’s not worth the risk.

At M Carter Automotive, we know exactly what to look for and how to prevent it before it turns into a costly rebuild. From inspections to proven fixes, we’ve got your LandCruiser covered.

Don’t wait until it’s too late — get on top of it now.
