BMW F80 M3 in for a little routine maintenance 🏁

This customer booked in for a minor service, including:

🔧 Engine oil & oil filter
🔧 Pollen filter
🔧 Rear differential oil change

The rear diff oil wasn't part of the original booking, but following my recommendation, the customer opted to have it changed too.

Servicing isn't just about ticking boxes on a schedule. It's about knowing your car, how it's driven and what maintenance is worth considering to keep it performing as it should.

Especially on something like an M3...

Yes, I replace catalytic converters.
No, I won't steal yours😂

This Vauxhall Corsa unfortunately failed its MOT due to excessively high emissions.

After investigating, a new catalytic converter was fitted, MOT retest completed with an image of the part sent to the owner.

Unfortunately, catalytic converters aren't exactly cheap, which makes getting the diagnosis right even more important and the reason they're stolen or 'highly recommended' to be replaced by dodgy mechanics that cannot provide proof of the issue.

Smoke from the exhaust and hesitation when accelerating? 👀💨

This 1.6 TDI VW Caddy came in with both symptoms, which were traced back to two faulty fuel injectors.

Of course Both injectors were replaced and the customer back on the road.

Fuel injectors play a big part in how your engine runs. When they start failing, you might notice poor acceleration, rough running, increased fuel consumption or excessive smoke.

The sooner you find out what's causing it, the sooner you can get it sorted without replacing parts unnecessarily. 🔧

Do I recommend right oil for your car or the one that makes me the most money?

This heavily modified F90 M5 came in for a service, with the customer wanting the best possible oil for his setup.

With the extra power this car is producing, I opted for 300V, a motorsport-developed oil with a serious racing pedigree.

Its ester-based technology is designed to maintain a strong protective oil film under high loads and temperatures, making it a performance-focused choice for demanding engines.
MOTUL+1

Because when you've invested in making your car perform, looking after what's under the bonnet matters just as much as building a customer base that trusts my knowledge and pricing matters to me.

Did you know that car brands can share the same engines, technology and components? 👀

I spent over 10 years working in main dealerships, training and working with Hyundai and BMW.

hat experience gives me knowledge of engineering shared across other manufacturers, including MINI, Rolls-Royce and Kia, as well as certain models from Range Rover, Jaguar, Peugeot and Citroën.

And that knowledge doesn't disappear just because a different badge rolls into the garage.

📩 Got a fault? DM Reg & issue.

Mechanic can't find whats wrong? 🔧

This 2016 MINI Cooper S came in with a drivetrain warning after another mechanic had been unable to identify the fault.

The culprit? A failed VANOS central valve and hub. Both replaced and back on the road.

With 7 years of BMW main dealership experience, I'm familiar with many of the engines and systems shared across BMW and MINI.

Sometimes it's not about one mechanic being better than another, just having different experience with certain vehicles.

Been told a fault can't be found?

MINI Cooper S VS Timing Chain replacement 🔧

Whilst carrying out the work, I discovered one of the camshaft caps was loose — tempting serious engine damage if left unnoticed.

So yes, sometimes ignoring a problem can work OR you could actually save yourself money & stress being proactive if you know it needs to be done.

Spotted condensation inside your headlights? It's worth getting checked before it causes further damage to the electrics.

This customer got in touch after warning lights appeared for their headlights and sidelights not working.

After investigating, the culprit turned out to be water ingress in the passenger-side headlight, which had caused the electrical components to fail.

A replacement headlight and modules fitted, and everything working as it should again.

“I'll get it booked in after payday”... Three paydays ago 😂

I get it. If the car's still driving, it's easy to keep putting it off.
But some of those little jobs have a habit of turning into much bigger bills.

📩 Send me your reg and what you've been putting off. Let's get it sorted

VW Polo in for a replacement clutch.

Nothing overly complicated with this one. old clutch out, new clutch in and back on the road.

If your clutch is slipping, biting higher than usual, becoming difficult to change gear or just doesn't feel quite right, don't wait until you're stuck.
