Nice Friday Job. 2020 ford ranger for an oil pump upgrade. This engine suffers with poor oil supply due to the pump design. Replacing this with a geared unit improves the performance and reliability and ensuring the life of the engine. 🧑‍🔧

Evening fans. Just a quick announcement to say that with immediate effect. Unfortunately we will no longer be carrying out mobile repairs as we have recently found it's just not viable, with our new larger workshop busier than ever and an ever increasing workload. It is just not possible as a one man band. Its time to let the young kids do it. Thanks to all my customers who have supported me over the years to get me where I am today and I look forward to seeing everyone old and new down at our new premises at Brun grove.
We appreciate this is sad news for you all.. lol. But I'll still be saving the world one vehicle at a time.. just indoors..Onwards and upwards to a new and improved garage setting where we can continue to offer you the best quality and service possible as ever. Thanks all.

Following on from my previous post. Think about next time a skilled trade gives you a quote.. before you say I can get it cheaper... Obviously do your research as there's cowboys out there in every trade.🤠..
Give or take 20+ years for me personally welding this is just some of the kit/ tools I need to have and use to repair that small patch on your rusty vehicle. . Have a blessed day y'all 🤠

@ We love a project. Replacing a boot floor in this cool Nissan Skyline. Previously been removed by former owner. New owner wanted to reinstate a nice solid flat floor that was safe and able to bolt in a new baffled fuel tank.
Safe to say this was a mess before and had a piece of tin held on with screws. Now after being all stripped back and custom floor panel made from scratch. She's good as new and looks great too with the new tank now mounted securely. 🦸🧑‍🏭🧑‍🔧
