“Absolutely fantastic, our mechanic was very professional, kept me informed, was knowledgeable and had my best interests in mind.
I was looking at purchasing a car from a dealership in Birmingham, but as this was a long journey & would take a whole day to travel there & back, I wanted a way to get the car independently checked before making the journey. I came across the pre-purchase inspection available via “Click Mechanic” on Google, I was going to use the AA as they’re a well known brand, however with the high number of positive reviews & the near 35% saving, I thought I’d give them a go. Needless to say, I was not dissatisfied.
I got a call from the mechanic, Imran, the day before to confirm a few details and to answer any questions I had. We then set up a chat on WhatsApp to make it easier to communicate, send photos and reports.
On the day of the appointment, Imran was due to start between 10-12. By 10:18, I had an update from him to tell me that from the short amount of time he had been there, he could already tell the car was in a bad state of repair and sent through photos and a video of the mould, water coming into the car, bits falling off (both inside and outside) including the rear tailgate switch, and this was before he’d even opened the bonnet. He advised it’s probably best to stop now as he can also hear a very squeaky fan belt & (given what he has seen already) would not pay £500 for the car, let alone the near £2k asking price. I agreed and thanked him for his honesty, but the honesty didn’t stop there as he also discounted the final bill to account for the shorter inspection time.
This saved me both time and money that would have otherwise been wasted travelling to Birmingham to view a Lemon, and I could not be more glad I chose to give “Click Mechanic” a go, and thankful for Imran’s professionalism and impartial help and advice. Will definitely be using again in future.”

Frequently asked questions about car distributor repair & replacements in West Bromwich

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 West Bromwich?

  • Mechanic will inspect the ignition system.
  • If necessary, the mechanic will replace the distributor.
  • Mechanic will recalibrate the ignition timing.
  • Mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
  • Mechanic will check the ignition system and test drive the car.
  • Mechanic will make any adjustments to the ignition if necessary.
