A recent electric vehicle that came in our centre,the owner advised us that the heater was not producing hot air,the vehicle being a BMW I3.
We carried out a full diagnostic check,which revealed the vehicle had a faulty heater element.We consulted the customer,and told them of our findings and with there agreement ordered a new element.
One of our IMI level 4 traIned technicians re-installed all the components,tested and confirmed the heater was working.
One of our most complex jobs came into the business recently.A new customer contacted us with regards to there Honda E,which had been involved in an accident.They advised that the vehicle would not go into drive.And could we diagnose and remedy the problem.
The vehicles battery had to be removed from the vehicle,and isolated to make safe,due to the very high voltage,before our technicians could begin to diagnose the fault.
After our technicians carried out a full diagnostic check,we identified two blown fuses inside the main battery,these are a special type of fuse which in the event of a fault in the vehicle are designed to blow,to prevent sensitive components being damaged or in fact the vehicle setting on fire.
This blown fuse was caused by the collision,preventing power reaching the inverter/converter.Customer was advised what we had found,we then ordered new fuses from our suppliers,our level 4 qualified technicians repaired,then road tested the vehicle to confirm the fault and been completely rectified.
One of our customers visited us for there annual mot inpection,severe corrosion was found on the vehicle resulting in a mot failure.
One of our technicians carried out the welding repair,and coated the metal to prevent further corrosion,carried out to mot standards.A 12 month MOT certificate was then issued.
These photos show the importance of regular servicing/MOT's.The customers vehicle was in for a small service when we noticed the rear tyres were "bulging" on the inside.These could have blown out at any time,causing a serious accident.Customer was advised not to drive the vehicle until new tyres were fitted.
We recently had a new customer book there vehicle in with us for it's annual service.The customer had recently acquired the vehicle.What we were greeted with when the vehicle was on the ramp horrified us.
The previous owner had applied chemical filler to the rear spring carrier,which was severely corroded.This vehicle was a disaster waiting to happen.
Customer was advised what we had found,we advised that a new rear axle was required as a matter of urgency.This was ordered and fitted and the vehicle made safe to drive
