Electric Vauxhall Corsa -Recovered as a Non-Drive

This electric Vauxhall Corsa was recovered to us after it became stuck in Park and wouldn’t select drive, leaving it unable to move under its own power.

After carrying out a full diagnostic investigation, we identified the fault with the park lock mechanism within the electric motor assembly.

We replaced the faulty park lock mechanism, carried out the necessary checks and got this Corsa safely back on the road.

Another example of why accurate diagnosis is so important, especially when dealing with modern electric vehicles.

At Saffron Autos, we don’t just replace parts and hope for the best. We diagnose the fault, find the cause and carry out the correct repair.

🚗❄️ FORD KUGA - AIR CON FAULT DIAGNOSIS & REPAIR ❄️🚗

This Ford Kuga came into with an air conditioning system that simply wasn’t working properly.

🔍 Our diagnosis?
A faulty evaporator temperature sensor.

The sensor itself may sound like a small component, but replacing it on this particular Kuga was far from a small job.

🛠️ The dashboard had to be removed to gain access to the evaporator sensor and carry out the repair correctly.

Our technicians carried out the repair, reassembled the dashboard and tested the system to make sure the air conditioning was operating as it should. ❄️💨

This is why accurate diagnostics matter.

Rather than replacing parts and hoping for the best, we identify the actual fault and repair it properly.

✅ Advanced diagnostics
✅ Experienced technicians
✅ Complex electrical & mechanical repairs
✅ Air conditioning specialists
✅ All makes & models
✅ Dealer-level expertise without the dealer price tag

Who would have thought the Air Conditioning wouldn’t work because of a fault with the drivers wing mirror?

Hot weather incoming. ☀️ Cold air sorted. ❄️

Peugeot Boxer van in for an AC regas at Saffron Autos.

Job done, summer ready.

AC systems naturally lose refrigerant over time, so if yours isn’t as cold as it used to be, a regas is usually a quick and affordable fix 🔧

We carry out AC services on both cars and vans 🌡️

This gorgeous BMW 3 Series M Sport came in to us for something that often gets left too long...

a full brake pad and disc replacement using genuine BMW parts 🔧

The new pads and discs are on, the blue M Sport callipers are looking sharp, and the owner is back on the road with brakes they can trust completely.

We always recommend genuine parts where possible, especially on a car like this. The fit, the feel and the longevity are simply better. 👌

If your brakes are overdue a check, don’t leave it. It’s one of those jobs where catching it at the right time makes all the difference.

⚡ Tesla Model S repair completed at Saffron Autos 🔧

This Tesla Model S came to us with no cabin heating due to a failed PTC heater.

The faulty heater caused a high-voltage fuse inside a control unit under the bonnet to blow. To carry out the repair safely, we first isolated the high-voltage system before beginning diagnostics and testing.

Normally, this repair can involve removing the high-voltage battery, a huge and time-consuming job.

Instead, using specialist EV knowledge, careful testing, and even a mirror to access and inspect the fuse assembly, we were able to replace the blown fuse without removing the battery pack 👌

✔️ Fault diagnosed
✔️ High-voltage system safely isolated
✔️ Fuse replaced
✔️ Heating restored
✔️ Repair completed at around 1/3 less than Tesla pricing

Modern EVs need modern diagnostics ⚡

Now THAT'S a transformation 👀✨

Headlight restoration in progress today at Saffron Autos 🔧

Over time, headlights lose their protective coating, causing them to become cloudy or yellowed. Not only does this affect the appearance of your vehicle, but it can also reduce light output and potentially lead to a failed MOT 💡

✔️ Improved visibility
✔️ Better appearance
✔️ MOT ready
