Another poorly Ford ecoboost in this week.
This little ecosport was recovered into us after the engine oil pressure warning light appeared on the dashboard. The customer correctly stopped the vehicle as soon as safe to do so and had his vehicle recovered to us.
After removing the engine sump the reason behind the lack of oil pressure was clear and after speaking to the customer a full wetbelt package was fitted to the vehicle and now this little engine is running perfectly as it should
The little video clip here shows jus the extent of the damage to the timing belt allowing the teeth to literally just pull off. Think it's fair to say this customer was extremely lucky those teeth didn't let go while he was driving the vehicle.

For reference this vehicle had covered 82,000 miles.

Is your ecoboost due a wetbelt change? Or are u getting oil pressure warning lights. Get in contact on 01305 608209 for a quote and a chat and we will advise you on the best option to get your little ecoboost running perfectly again

Old tyres don’t just sit in a pile outside our garage forever.

When we replace your tyres, the old ones are collected by an authorised waste partner and sent for proper recovery, not fly-tipping.

Here’s what can happen next:
- Checked for reuse: if a tyre casing is suitable, it may be retreaded and used again.
- Recycled: many of the old tyres are shredded and turned into rubber crumb, which can end up in things like play surfaces, equestrian arenas, mats, and even road materials.
- Energy recovery: some are used as a fuel alternative in tightly controlled industrial processes.

So yes, your worn tyres can get a second life in the most unexpected places.

Need tyres in Weymouth and want straightforward advice on the right fit for your car (budget or branded)? We can help with fast, friendly local service.

Cars don’t usually fail all at once.
Most problems start small and build up quietly.
Checking things early often saves stress and money later.
If something feels off, it’s worth asking.

Save this for later.

Ford kuga 2.0 diesel

This vehicle came to us after the customer was experiencing a problem with the vehicle heating not getting warm.
After some diagnostic tests it was confirmed that the coolant wasn't circulating around the engine correctly.
We set to work removing the timing belt so that the coolant pump could be removed and inspected. We noticed straight away the coolant pump was leaking coolant but when the pump was removed we found the main problem.
The impeller on the back of the pump had failed and was no longer attached to the pump drive therefore coolant was not correctly being pumped around the engine.
New coolant pump and timing belt kit fitted to this kuga and now the coolant is circulating perfectly as it should.

Are u having cooling problems with your vehicle.
