Common issue with Peugeot 208's heater wiring melted. This one had been repaired before roughly five years ago, meaning even less loom to play with. Can't fault whoever did the repair just seems a nasty design problem. Done a few of these now and still don't know the reason for the issue but could be quite dangerous if it was to set fire next to the carpet where it sits. I agree with the customer on this that there should probably be a recall for the issue as it's definitely safety related.

Forgot to post this from yesterday, complete failure of a wheel bearing on a Citroen C3. Probably the worst I've seen, surprised that the bearing didn't fall out of the hub. Replaced with a complete new knuckle assembly as wasn't sure of the damage and worked out cheaper as well.

Worked on this absolute stunner today. Customer wanted the lowering springs changing for a slightly less lowering spring to make the vehicle driveable on the lovely British roads. Fronts done this morning as well as changing a split CV boot, rears to follow at a later date. Fantastic car with some personality about it unlike the mass produced sea of grey we get today.

9/10 flexi pipes replaced that I do are on Vauxhalls. Here's another one from today. This car also holds the record for how many bulbs where stuck in the headlight. The daytime running bulbs on these Astra's are a bad design and I think that everytime one has blown the previous occupant must have just prodded it through rather than removed it, there was a total of 3 old bulbs that had to be removed out of the headlight before fitting a new one!

I swear I've never seen these braking systems work like they should on the Vauxhall Movano. They either have a seized caliper or the slider bolts are seized, this one had both. Caliper on the offside and seized sliders on the nearside. Now everything is back to working order.
