Peugeot 3008 arrived with us with an occasional "low oil pressure warning light". Once we removed the sump, We quickly realised that there was a wet belt issue. Found 6 teeth in the pick up strainer and obviously the belt was also missing 6 and in a very bad state! Definitely the worst one we have seen and the customer was very lucky as that was a ticking time bomb!!!

We are still accommodating the track cars and preparing them for the year ahead.

Clio 197 gearbox removed as the synchro in 3rd and 4th have had better days and the clutch is feeling sorry for itself!!

We are also doing a full nut and bolt check to make sure all safety and reliability issues are addressed before it goes out on track.
