The Engine Bay share with you a case study of a recent diagnosis and repair of a Toyota Hilux with improperly fitted lift kit.  During a recent visit, a 2013 Toyota Hilux underwent our comprehensive 65-point safety inspection. It’s a service designed to identify potential issues before they become major problems, safeguarding both your vehicle and your peace of mind. Our mechanics discovered that the bush had failed, a common occurrence in vehicles that have been lifted improperly. This oversight can lead to premature bush failure, which, if left unaddressed, might result in a troubling grinding noise or, worse, a front-end collapse. Understanding the potential risks, our experienced team at The Engine Bay acted swiftly and efficiently to rectify the issue. We replaced the front shockers, upper control arms, and inner CV boots, ensuring the Hilux was restored to its full working order.

2010 Fiat Ducato Motor home A truck service was performed on this motor home. The 65 point safety check was great.  The only issue was the air filter needed to be changed (eaten by rodents). This is the time of year (autumn) when rodents like to find a warm place to live and unfortunately the air filter had a big chunk taken out of it.  Another important reason why regular servicing is important. It enables us to find any problems early before causing major damage to your engine and hip pocket.

Problems with the wheel bearings or brakes can make the caravan or trailer difficult to control when towing and can significantly increase your stopping distance and use of fuel, particularly under heavy loads. Running gear, couplings, lights, bushes, wiring, springs, latches, chassis mounts and cables should all be considered when having a trailer or caravan serviced. The list can become much more complex. depending on the type of vehicle you own and the way you tend to use it. Since lack of use causes its own problems, leisure vehicles should be serviced on an annual basis - even if your touring caravan is used only a couple of times a year. Even if you have only used the caravan for a few weekends during last year, that is not a sure indicator that everything is fine, as over time fluids deplete, dust collects and fixtures deteriorate, even on mechanical equipment that is not being used.  Most especially, rarely used mechanical vehicles need to be checked before entrusting them with your family and valuables. Unsealed outback roads often frequented by caravans and trailers can adversely affect tyres, suspension, body and fittings. If you plan on long and regular touring, especially on poorly surfaced roads, please consider more than one service per year. When you book your caravan in for a service we will check your caravan according to a service check list and habitation damp report which covers over 60 different checks.

Maintaining your brakes means not waiting until they need repairs or worse, finding they are not up to the task of stopping you safely in an emergency situation.  At The Engine Bay we provide expert brake pad replacement service using quality parts, covered by our Nationwide Warranty. We can also perform inspection, repairs or replacement of many other brake components such as: Brake Pads Brake Drums Brake Calipers Brake Rotors Brake Hoses/Clips/Springs Wheel Cylinders Wheel Bearings Master Cylinders Brake Flushing Some things are best left to experienced mechanics and this is one of them. You should never let anyone but a qualified professional touch something as key to your safety as your braking system. Brake Maintenance - Brake Pads Your brake pads are an essential factor of your braking system and they are a part that should never be ignored. Brake pads compress against your brake rotors to create friction in order for your car to stop. Brake pads work really hard, really often. The amount of pressure required to stop a moving vehicle is enormous and gives off a lot of heat which erodes the brake pads. It is important to remember that brake noises are not only caused by normal wear and any unusual noises anywhere in your car should always be investigated by a qualified professional mechanic. Brake Maintenance - Fluid Flushing Brake fluid provides the pressure needed by the brake pads to stop your car. It also helps prolong the lifespan of your various brake components by helping to prevent corrosion. Most people know that it is imperative to keep the brake fluid level topped up, but did you know that you should also have the entire system flushed regularly to replace old brake fluid and prevent excessive moisture in the fluid? A brake fluid flush can be done as part of a scheduled service - but sometimes we may suggest you need one outside of a regular schedule if we feel it's necessary. We are always happy to discuss the reasons why with you. We offer a Free Vehicle Inspection Report with every car service. As part of our Vehicle Inspection Report we inspect the brake pads for wear and will tell you if they want replacing. We can also recommend the right pad for your driving style and conditions.

The Engine Bay in Salisbury Plain are experts at Brake Repairs, Inspection, Replacement and Maintenance. We can supply and fit brake pads, we can flush and replace brake fluid, we can machine rotors and inspect all aspects of your braking system.
