“AA patrol Glenn was very helpful and fitted the starter motor. He identified a poor electrical connection and managed to start the vehicle. He advised me to run the engine for a period to charge the flat battery. After turning off the engine I was able to start it again. Unusual messages had previously appeared on the instrument gauges and Glenn advised that I contact an autoelectrician to resolve a possible wiring fault.”

“Owen was very friendly and gave a good insight into the fault that was diagnosed on my car.
My car was in another garage for 5 days without being repaired and being told that it needed a new DPF.
Owen put this big garage to shame in my opinion by curing the fault on my car in less than a day and saving me hundreds on a DPF that was not required.
Highly recommended.”

Frequently asked questions about car distributor repair & replacements in Prescot

Read our answers to questions about car distributor repair costs, symptoms and more.

How do you know there is something wrong with the Distributor?

  • When the engine does not run smoothly.
  • When the 'Check Engine' light on the dashboard of your car is illuminated.
  • When the engine does not start.
  • When the engine's cylinders appear to misfire.
  • When there are unusual noises coming from the engine.

When should you replace a Distributor?

Over time the rotor and cap's condition can deteriorate due to wear. The cap and the contact points inside can, for example, be affected by erosion or corrosion. Equally, carbon can build up inside the rotor cap on and around the contact points, diverting electricity from the points. Both lead to a decreased electric current to run from the rotor arm through the contact points, in turn leading to a diminished spark at the spark plug. Misfires inside the engine can then occur.

The condensor is instrumental in creating a flat electricity flow to the spark plugs, decreasing the voltage as well as absorbing undesirable voltage peaks created by the coil. It stores electricity from the coil when the distributor's contact points are open and releases it each time contact points close. If the condensor inside the distributor is faulty, the condensor cannot absorb the excess electricity from the coil. A faulty condensor can lead to excessive wear on the contact points and spark plugs as well as engine misfires.

It is therefore important to service the distributor as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer. It is essential that the distributor is kept in a good condition, this should contribute to a prolonged distributor lifespan.

Should you experience problems like those noted earlier then it is important to have the distributor inspected and, if necessary, have it replaced.

What happens during a Distributor replacement in Prescot?

  • Mechanic will inspect the ignition system.
  • If necessary, the mechanic will replace the distributor.
