Citroen Berlingo we had in for a loss of power steering, fluid leak and it kept blowing the hoses either off or apart. On inspection it had clearly had some repairs🤔 done in the past. After putting the hoses back on and stemming the leaks which just kept coming. Whilst there was flow there was something causing excessive pressure in the system. After testing the flow rate we inspected the reservoir and found this little piece of solder half blocking the return line.

Another wiring loom found to have what we suspect is rodent damage 🐀 🐁. The injector harness on this Skoda has damage to the insulation causing bare wires. All affected wires unpinned from the connectors, reinsulated, refitted and we even added some extra coverings to help prevent future damage.

Range Rover coolant leak. This v8 Range Rover had been loosing coolant for a while. With the manifold removed we could see the whole picture. Coolant transfer tubes, crossover seals and a new water pump required, along with some other odd and ends we found along the way . All cleaned up, parts replaced and everything refitted it’s going back to its owner running perfect again.

With all the welding work we carry out we regularly get asked if the welding repairs could of been avoided, simply put prevention is cheaper than the cure,
BUT …..
You’ve got to do it right.
This sort of treatment is only really useful if used before the problems start.

Corrosion and rust is a massive problem for a lot of UK cars, and we have found there is no miracle cure or product that reverses its effects, the best you can do is protect from it before it happens. We see a lot of cars where products have been applied too late covering over rust that is already there or applied incorrectly. Whatever product you choose make sure it’s applied correctly and thoroughly.

ALL trims, arch liners, undertrays, covers removed, all loose dirt and debris cleared, a thorough clean and DRY making sure to not trap any moisture in. Any area you don’t want coated need to be masked off or covered. Apply your choice of product following manufacturer recommended procedure.
NOW THE HONEST PART…
This is no guarantee that your vehicle will never rust but you can sit back confident you have given your vehicle the best chance it can have.

After only a few days of ownership this customer was having problems 😬, drove home from purchase fine but a few days later no power.
After a quick test drive and a little methodical testing and inspection the fault became obvious. 0 boost control and the turbo isn’t producing any pressure because the actuator is no longer attached.
Reattached actuator arm and we’re back to full, controlled boost.

Finished off this Peugeot van we had in last week for welding, as with a lot of welding jobs things get worse before they get better. Once the outer cill was cut away it revealed the inner cill and the internal structure needed some attention too. All cut back, repaired and new outers welded in, protective coating applied internally and a hard wearing coating applied externally.
