“Greg wasn't able to make the booked slot of 14:00 - 16:00. However, I cannot fault his communication. He confirmed he was running late and did arrive within the reorganised slot. Throughout the work he carried out he was communicative and informative. The work appears to be carried out to a high standard and I hope I this is now all resolved.“

“Greg had all the gear in his fitted out van to diagnose the ABS light fault to the failure of the right rear sensor. He then sourced a replacement part at the best price available. The fault was rectified with the fitting of the new part to the 1997 Honda CR-V. A road test checked the vehicle was once again back to working order. This was my first use of a mobile mechanic and it proved an all round success.“

What does a glow plugs do?

Glow plugs are fitted to diesel cars only. Similar to spark plugs in petrol cars, they ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine. Instead of building to a sudden spark, the glow plugs slowly heat up until they are at a point where they can naturally combust the air-fuel mixture in each cylinder. This allows the engine to work more efficiently and results in lower carbon emissions.

How do you know there is something wrong with the glow plugs?

Glow plugs start your car, and remain hot to keep the engine working. A problem with the glow plugs will usually mean you can't start your vehicle, or the engine is less efficient. This depends on the number of cylinders affected, but you will notice a loss in miles per gallon and higher emissions.

When should you consider a glow plugs replacement?

Glow plugs, like spark plugs, should be maintained according to the manufacturer recommended service schedule. This will mean that the glow plugs are usually replaced every few years, and it will help keep the rest of your vehicle running just as smoothly.

What happens during a glow plugs replacement?

A mechanic will come to remove and replace the old glow plugs. The operation of the engine will be checked and if required the car will be taken for a test drive, to check if any adjustments are needed.
