When you discover a previous mechanic has had issues removing the drum and sheared a bolt in the threaded hole to jack it off...
Option 1 : leave it as is as the drum is good
Option 2 : replace the drum
Or my Option...3 :
Spend a few minutes drilling and tapping it for ease of future operations... and significantly cheaper than Option 2..👍

I will never replace something on your car that doesn't need replacing...

Happy Wednesday

That moment when you discover the reason you have no braking effort on the rear O/S is because the oil seal on the half shaft has left the chat....
On a plus side...minimal wear on the drum as its been well lubricated...
Makes sense to swap bearing etc as I'm this far into it...

Best bit about being a mechanic is its like Christmas most days....
Unusually however these bits are actually for one of my own vehicles...
Having discovered a broken rear spring I decided that after 21 years, and 125k miles it was time to treat my 987 boxter to a suspension upgrade...
I don't only do servicing and repairs, if you want to discuss upgrades (performance, handling or braking) to your pride and joy, drop me a message, happy to tailor work to your budget and recommend where you will get the biggest payback..

GAZ Shocks 🙏🙏 thank you...

Just wanted to say Hi 👋 to everyone that has started following me recently 😁😁

Welcome to DMC Autos ... 🚘

Whatever it is you're looking for from full bare metal body restoration to routine servicing and MOT'S just drop me a message...

Happy to work with you to get your car/van/pick-up working as it should..

Big favour time... if any of my existing customers would be prepared to leave a review on my FB page I would appreciate it, as I'd rather let my work and ethos do the talking rather than me just saying it...

I couldn't do this without each and every one of you...

Thank you 😊 🙏
Simon
