To all of our valued customers,

This is a quick notice to inform you that unfortunately our Phone System is not working at the moment.

It has been down for the last 5 days. We are relentlessly trying to resolve this issue, and it is causing us a great deal of stress and inconvenience.

If you need to contact us please either message us on Facebook, or send us an email to [email protected].

We apologise for this and will try and get back to all messages as soon as possible,

Thanks for your patience

PEUGEOT, CITROEN, VAUXHALL, DS 1.2 PETROL WET BELTS.
We have been doing a countless amount of these over the last few years. Turbocharged and Normally Aspirated.
We know these Engines inside out and have rebuilt many of them with new Valves, Head Gaskets etc.
We charge £550+VAT. With an Oil Change, using Total INEO RCP 5-30 FPW9.55535/03 and a Genuine Oil Filter. We use INA Timing Belt Kits, and always clean out and seal the Sump up properly using Dirko sealant.
We have NEVER had any issues with Timing etc, and have always preferred to clean out parts and re-use them rather than just blindly replacing everything.
We also do lots of 1.5 HDI Timing Chains, Timing Belts on all Makes/Models. We have a wealth of experience in Diagnostics and Fault Finding.
Call us on 0115 9328396, and get the job done properly.

It may not be apparent to everybody, but it is important to point out that the Stellantis Group, who own Citroen, Peugeot and DS, also now own Vauxhall/Opel. So all new Vauxhall’s that you see are actually French! Also the Toyota Van range are actually Stellantis Group Vehicles (Pro Ace/ Pro Ace City).

So I thought it necessary to say that we don’t just specialise in French Vehicles anymore! We also have expert knowledge and experience in all new Vauxhalls and Toyota Vans! Including Manufacturer Diagnostic Equipment and Technical Information. So if you’re having issues with your Vehicle, or just want regular maintenance and servicing, then please message us and we’ll be happy to help.

Thanks,
Isaac Lightfoot

Just a quick message to all of our customers. We are now officially open again. It has been a difficult couple of months dealing with the loss of our beloved Mark Lightfoot.
I am now going to be running the garage with a new employee, and we are open business as usual. We thank you for your patience and look forward to hearing from you in the not too distant future.
Many thanks,
Isaac Lightfoot.

We don’t just fix French cars!
We have a 2017 Mercedes C63S AMG in today for a service and brakes, using genuine parts.
We have added this to the online Mercedes digital service record too! Often overlooked by many nowadays, but very important nonetheless.

Twizy replacement or should we just get it as well .
What do you think ?

Things to note: the Citroen AMI isn't technically a car at all. The new AMI is in fact a heavy quadricycle which means, in some European countries, you can d...
