“Aqil was punctual and polite. I had booked the car for a camshaft positioning sensor but Aqil said in his experience it is usually the wet belt. Fortunately I was able to check when this was last done (only last year) so we just went with the sensor. Aqil communicated well throughout the process, replaced the sensor and returned the car.”

“Earl was great, my car needed a part that was only available directly from the dealership which took 7 days to arrive, he temporarily fixed my fault until the genuine part arrived, he then came back out a week later to carry out the full repair.

From the start earl was great with communication and informative about my car and going about to give me advice and also pointed out a slow puncture I had.

Couldn’t recommend more, excellent service! will definitely use again, thanks”

Mobile mechanic in Reading, 7 years of experience

Been in the motor trade for 16 years worked for Ford main dealer and a few smaller garages and a few bigger garages

“Ben was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He’s clearly very knowledgeable, punctual, and unfailingly polite, the kind of person you immediately trust. He took the time to properly explain everything, walking me through each step so I always knew exactly what was happening and why. His honesty and transparency throughout made a genuinely stressful situation feel completely manageable, and that made all the difference.

On top of the technical know-how, he’s just a really top bloke, friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly takes real pride in doing a good job. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough, and I won’t hesitate to use his services again in the future. He’s secured a long term customer in me, for sure. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and honest, Ben is exactly who you want.”

Frequently asked questions about DS cooling system inspection, repair & replacements

Read our answers to questions about cooling system inspection, repair & replacement costs, symptoms and more.

How do you know there is something wrong with the DS cooling system?

  • When you can see smoke coming from your engine
  • When you smell the vapour of the coolant fluid
  • When you hear cranking sounds
  • When you feel the engine heating up
  • When the check engine light comes on

What are common problems with the engine cooling system in DS?

Here are the common problems with a cooling system:

••Low coolant**
A leak in the system will drip away reserves of coolant. Less coolant means the cooling system will be working harder and the engine will eventually overheat.

*Failed thermostat
A faulty thermostat will block the flow of coolant to your engine. The lack of coolant will suddenly overheat your engine.

Worn Water pump
A worn water pump or an issue with the motor system will mean the coolant isn’t properly flowing through the engine. Your pump will be less efficient or broken altogether which will lead to your engine overheating.

Clogged radiator
A radiator can become clogged by poor quality coolant, which doesn’t lubricate the system properly. It will mean there is less coolant and that coolant will have a harder time getting through the system. It will have a gradual noticeable effect on your MPG but otherwise, be hard to diagnose.

Faulty radiator fan
A faulty radiator fan means that air can’t flow along the fins of a radiator, taking heat away from the coolant as it passes through the radiator. This means that both the air and coolant become increasingly hot.

Fault cooling system pressure cap
A broken pressure cap will not retain the pressure on the entire cooling system. This means that steam can vent out and will rapidly reduce the efficiency of the cooling system leading to an engine overheat.
