PLEASE READ

Please be aware of this standard charge going forward.

I've always tried to be as fair as possible, but unfortunately my kindness has been abused too many times now.

My diagnostics scanner isn't a £10 amazon code scanner, your paying for a full diagnostic scan and report.

The report can always be sent over to your phone containing any stored codes etc.

Also please be respectful when enquiring about work you would like carried out, ANY message recieved after 6pm Monday to Friday will be answered the following day, any message received at any point over the weekend will be answered by end of play the following Monday.

Thank you

So from time to time I see some pretty awful things when it comes to cars..

Tbh I think ive got to say this is probably the worst thing I have seen Vehicle maintenance wise!

A close friend who ive known for 38 years + has been a regular visitor to R H Vehicle Maintenance, although sometimes he doesn't always listen to my advice...

On purchasing a car 3 years ago, it came to me to have a full service.. fast forward to now, 36000 miles later and it still had the same oil in it 🫣

I knew as soon as i removed the sump plug that we might have a problem..

On removing the oil filter, well... I'll let the pictures tell the story!

I honestly don't know how this engine hasn't gone bang, if i were you Mr P I'd be putting the lottery on tonight!

Engine flushed twice, fresh oil and filter and everything else that goes with a full service, and a booking for another oil and filter and engine flush in a few weeks time..

Lucky lucky lucky Mercedes owner...

Brakes are definitely one of my most regular jobs...

This Mercedes GLA was in desperate need of a brake refresh 😲...

Customer supplied the parts and the car was back on her drive in plenty of time for the school run 🚕

Any enquiries please feel free to drop me a message 👍

So this little boy has had probably the toughest start to his little life imaginable and has battled through numerous hurdles as he and his parents deal with the challenges they face when dealing with Type 1 SMA.

We are trying to help him get a desperately needed spinal brace which will help slow the progression of spinal scoliosis.

If anyone would be interested in donating to this massively worthy cause here is the link to his gofundme:

Now I may be slightly biased as i drive one myself.. but BMW's are generally pretty good IF they are well maintained with regular oil changes and general maintenance to keep on top of any little niggles that may arise..

BUT they do suffer with carbon deposit build up in and around the inlet manifold, swirl flaps and EGR which can cause serious problems, including engine failure due to parts of the swirl flap set up breaking and finding its way inside the engine...

So today's job showed me just how bad these can get..

116D 2016 in for glow plug replacement and inlet manifold including swirl flaps replacement.

This took A LOT of cleaning up as the carbon build up was probably the worst I had seen..

All stripped down, cleaned wherever was necessary and put back together with a new, clear of carbon, inlet manifold with working swirl flaps 😎

The car now feels so much more responsive, and will also see an improvement in fuel efficiency due to the engine finally being able to breath properly 👏

Any enquiries please feel free to drop me a message 👍
