One of two DV6 rebuilds we are doing currently.

Out of all them I’ve ever done, I’ve only had one not bend valves. These will be getting the following

Head gasket
Valves replaced
Timing belt water pump
Rockers
Lifters
Camshaft
Full top end gasket set

These aren’t the worst jobs in the world but can become costly.

Land Rover Discovery in with over 130,000 miles!

This one has certainly had a chain before. However it had an excess leak from gearbox so it was coming out and the customer opted to do the chains while there.

True Land Rover fashion - driveshafts both seized into hubs so had to take full hubs off! We learnt from
experience as last time trying to remove the driveshaft from hub with over 30T of pressure didn’t even budge it!

Timing chains
All 4 injectors seals replaced
Inner gearbox seal
Full engine service
Crankseal replaced

Vauxhall Corsa in this morning.

For our lovely friends at Magenta (who by the way prep there cars the right way)

Vauxhall Corsa timing chain replacement due to noisy startup and issues with staying started. Sump off on this job due to the timing chain guide actually snapped and missing bits. It is better to be safe than sorry!

Then

A lovely Vauxhall Adam for similar issues for Joseph David Simm Ltd - it has a slight rattle in start up. So we decided to change it as a measure of precaution and make sure the next customer is happy.

Drop us a message for any work done.

Chains belts or discs and pads we will sort it all

Another day another snapped belt getting fixed 🧐

This time a FWD 2.0 Ecoblue. This one has unfortunately done It at speed. This has at very minimum done the Camshaft box, the front has a lot of movement, rear cam is solid as it should be. If the injectors come out nice, this job should be straight forward. If not, we’re in for a long week!

We will be repairing this car with the following:
Wet belt kit
camshaft box

Potiental injectors if they don’t come out
Rockers/lifters

Potiental head off
Potiental head gasket
Potiental head bolts
Potiental valves

All going well we won’t have to go that far, however customer was doing around 70mph on the motorway and this happened.

We will be fixing this as cost effective and quick as possible now it is in the workshop to get the customer back to work!

Call us 07928 313389 or drop us a message if you’ve a snapped belt and any related issues.

Remember it’s best to maintain these at a cost £1000+ vat. (With a full service 😜)

Than the repair cost of probs up to £3000+vat.
