Does your air con smell like a wet dog?

That musty, damp smell when you switch the air conditioning on can be a sign that bacteria, mould and moisture have built up within the system.

Other possible causes include:

βœ“ A dirty or clogged pollen filter
βœ“ Moisture trapped around the evaporator
βœ“ Bacteria and mould developing in the system
βœ“ An air con system that needs cleaning and treating

The good news? You don’t have to put up with it.

An air con clean, antibacterial treatment and, where needed, a replacement pollen filter can help get things smelling fresh again.

If your air con is kicking up a stink, get in touch and we’ll take a look.

Is Your Clutch Trying to Tell You Something?

If you're noticing any of these warning signs, it could be time to have your clutch checked:

βœ“ Difficulty changing gears
βœ“ Engine revving without a matching increase in speed
βœ“ Clutch slipping under acceleration
βœ“ A biting point that's higher than usual
βœ“ Unusual noises or vibrations when using the clutch

Ignoring the symptoms can lead to more extensive repairs and leave you stranded when you least expect it.

Our experienced technicians can inspect your clutch, diagnose the issue, and recommend the most cost-effective solution to get you back on the road with confidence.

PLENTY OF TREAD DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN A TYRE IS SAFE.

It’s easy to look at the tread and assume your tyres have plenty of life left, but age and condition matter too.

Over time, rubber can deteriorate even when a vehicle isn’t covering many miles. Look out for:

βœ“ Cracking or crazing in the sidewall
βœ“ Bulges, cuts or other visible damage
βœ“ Rubber becoming hard or brittle
βœ“ Uneven wear
βœ“ Tyres that are getting on in age despite good tread depth

Your tyres are the only part of your vehicle in contact with the road, so tread depth is only part of the story.

Not sure about yours? Get them properly inspected.

Could Your Tyres Fail Their MOT?

Your tyres are one of the most important safety features on your vehicle, and they're also one of the most common reasons for MOT failures.

Here are a few things to check:

βœ“ Tread depth must be at least 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre.
βœ“ Look out for cuts, bulges or exposed cords.
βœ“ Check for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
βœ“ Make sure your tyre pressures are correct for safer handling and improved fuel economy.

Not sure if your tyres are roadworthy? Our team can carry out a quick tyre inspection and let you know if they meet MOT standards or if they need attention.

DARK PATCH UNDER YOUR CAR EVERY MORNING?

Don’t just move the car and forget about it. That patch could be your vehicle warning you about a leak.

βœ“ Engine oil
βœ“ Coolant
βœ“ Brake fluid
βœ“ Transmission fluid
βœ“ Power steering fluid, depending on the vehicle

Some leaks are relatively minor, but others can quickly lead to expensive damage or even make the vehicle unsafe to drive.

If you’re regularly finding fluid underneath your car, get it checked before a small leak becomes a much bigger repair bill.

MOT DUE IN SEPTEMBER? DON’T LEAVE IT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!

βœ“ Keep your car legal and roadworthy
βœ“ You can have your MOT carried out up to one month minus a day before it expires and keep the same renewal date

Quick Question... When Was Your Brake Fluid Last Changed?

If your answer is "more than 2 years ago" or "no idea", it's probably time to have it checked.

Brake fluid naturally absorbs moisture over time, reducing its effectiveness and increasing the risk of:

βœ“ Reduced braking performance
βœ“ A soft or spongy brake pedal
βœ“ Corrosion within the braking system
βœ“ Increased stopping distances

Most manufacturers recommend replacing brake fluid every 2 years, even if your vehicle seems to be driving perfectly.

At GX Landrovers, we can test your brake fluid and replace it if required, helping to keep your braking system performing exactly as it should.

The Most Expensive Service Is the One You Skip

Regular servicing isn't just about changing the oil. It's about spotting small issues before they become expensive repairs.

A routine service can help:

βœ“ Keep your Land Rover performing at its best
βœ“ Improve reliability and fuel efficiency
βœ“ Identify worn components before they fail
βœ“ Maintain your vehicle's service history and value
βœ“ Reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns

Whether your vehicle is due an interim, full or major service, our experienced technicians use quality parts and manufacturer-approved procedures to keep your Land Rover in top condition.

Don't wait until a warning light appears. Preventative maintenance is always more affordable than major repairs.

Got a puncture? Don't assume you need a new tyre.

Not every puncture means replacing the tyre. Whether it can be safely repaired depends on where the damage is, its size and the condition of the tyre.

Under British Standard BS AU 159, a puncture can usually be repaired if:

βœ“ The damage is within the central three-quarters of the tread
βœ“ The puncture is 6mm or smaller
βœ“ The tyre has not been driven on while flat or seriously underinflated
βœ“ There is no structural damage found during an internal inspection
βœ“ There isn't an existing repair in the same area

A tyre cannot usually be repaired if:

βœ— The damage is in the sidewall or shoulder
βœ— The puncture is larger than 6mm
βœ— The tyre has been driven on while flat, causing internal damage
βœ— There are cuts, bulges or exposed cords
βœ— The tyre has suffered other structural damage

The only way to know for certain is with a proper internal inspection. If you've picked up a puncture, don't guess. Book it with us and we'll advise whether a safe repair is possible or if a replacement is the only option.

Hot weather puts your cooling system to the test.

When temperatures rise, your engine has to work even harder to stay at the correct operating temperature. If your cooling system isn't performing as it should, a small issue can quickly turn into an expensive repair.

Watch out for these warning signs:

βœ“ Engine temperature running higher than normal
βœ“ Coolant warning light or low coolant level
βœ“ Steam coming from under the bonnet
βœ“ Sweet smell from the engine bay
βœ“ Heater blowing cold air when it's set to hot

Keeping your cooling system in good condition helps prevent overheating, protects your engine and keeps you moving, even on the hottest days.

If you have any concerns, give us a call and let our team check it over before a minor issue becomes a major one.
