🚨🚐 GRINDING INTO GEAR? This Transit Custom was telling its owner something wasn’t right! βš™οΈπŸ˜¬

This Ford Transit Custom came into All Trans after the customer reported grinding and difficulty selecting gears, particularly 2nd.

Jon got straight onto the investigation, road testing the van to experience the fault himself before carrying out further checks. πŸ”πŸ”§

The gear selector and cables were operating correctly, but further investigation pointed towards an internal gearbox failure affecting 2nd gear and the synchro.

With the fault diagnosed, we gave the customer a price for the repair. They were happy to go ahead, so it was over to Tony! πŸ’ͺ

While the van was with us, the customer also decided to have the wet belt replaced as it was due, giving them that extra peace of mind for the future. πŸ‘Œ

βœ… Replacement gearbox fitted
βœ… New clutch fitted
βœ… Wet belt replaced
βœ… Reassembled and thoroughly tested
βœ… Gear selection back as it should be!

One visit, some big jobs ticked off and a Transit Custom back on the road! πŸšπŸ’¨

If your car or van is crunching, grinding or struggling to select gears, or you have preventative maintenance coming due, get in touch with the friendly team at All Trans Autos in Stanway.

πŸ’šπŸ”§ A Land Rover on the ramp and we know someone who’s happy! πŸ˜‚πŸ”§

This Land Rover Discovery was in with us at All Trans Autos for a big bit of preventative maintenance the front AND rear timing belt replacement. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”§

And there was only one man for the job… our Tony, who absolutely LOVES a Land Rover! πŸ˜πŸ˜‚

Tony got stuck in and carried out:

βœ… Front timing belt replacement
βœ… Rear timing belt replacement
βœ… Everything reassembled and thoroughly checked
βœ… Ready to get back on the road πŸ™Œ

Timing belts are definitely not something you want to forget about. Keeping on top of the recommended replacement intervals can help prevent a far bigger and much more expensive engine repair later down the line.

Whether it’s a Land Rover, your everyday car, work van or motorhome, we’ve got an experienced team ready to look after it. πŸ’ͺπŸš—πŸš

πŸ”πŸ”§ Two leaks reported… two leaks found and fixed! πŸ”§πŸ”

This Peugeot Swift came into All Trans Autos after the customer reported concerns about both a fuel leak and an oil leak.

Joss got the vehicle into the workshop and carried out an investigation to find exactly where each leak was coming from. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”§

He found:

πŸ›’οΈ Oil leak coming from the timing cover
β›½ Fuel leak coming from the fuel tank seals

Once the repairs were authorised, Joss got to work:

βœ… Timing cover leak repaired
βœ… Fuel tank seals replaced
βœ… Vehicle run back up
βœ… Rechecked and all OK πŸ™Œ

When it comes to leaks, finding the actual source is key. Rather than guessing and replacing unnecessary parts, our technicians investigate first, explain what they’ve found and then carry out the repairs once authorised. πŸ”πŸ”§

πŸ“ž Spotted a leak underneath your vehicle, noticed a smell of fuel or simply know something isn’t right? Get in touch with the friendly team at All Trans Autos and let us investigate.

πŸšπŸ”§ This is exactly why a thorough service matters! πŸ”§πŸš

This Mazda Bongo came into All Trans Autos for a full service, including our comprehensive 70 point health check. πŸ‘€

While carrying out the checks, Joss spotted a slight coolant leak coming from the offside metal coolant pipe. πŸ’§πŸ”

Rather than letting a small leak potentially turn into a much bigger problem, we:

βœ… Identified the source of the coolant leak
βœ… Priced the replacement pipes
βœ… Got authorisation from the customer
βœ… Joss replaced the pipes
βœ… Checked everything over and got the Bongo ready for the road again πŸ™Œ

A service isn’t just about changing your oil and filters. Those additional checks give our technicians the opportunity to spot developing problems early and give you the choice to get them sorted before they become something more serious. πŸ”§

πŸ“ž Is your vehicle due a service? Cars, vans, campers and motorhomes are all welcome at All Trans Autos. Get in touch with our friendly team and get booked in!

πŸš— πŸ”§ Investigation and repair… all in one visit! πŸ‘

This customer had their vehicle recovered to All Trans after the gear stick suddenly became loose whilst reversing, leaving them only able to select a few gears. 😬

Our technician Joel carried out an investigation and quickly found the cause. πŸ”

❌ The gear selector cable had failed, and the outer mounting casing had split apart, preventing the selector cable from operating correctly.

πŸ› οΈ The repair that Jon carried out:
βœ… Replaced the gear selector cables
βœ… Tested all gear selection
βœ… Road tested the vehicle to make sure no further issues

The vehicle is now selecting every gear perfectly and is back on the road as it should! πŸš—πŸ’¨

Whether it’s a strange noise, knocking, warning light or something that just doesn’t feel right then our experienced technicians are here to diagnose the fault properly and get you back on the road. πŸ’ͺ
