“Gagandeep arrived within the times specified. Due to the potential difficulties changing glow plugs he took the car away to his workshop. This was always going to be a tricky repair that would either be reasonably quick or worst case scenario it could have been a major problem if the glow plugs had snapped removing them. As I suspected he was not able to complete the work on the day but was back at it on the Monday and returned the vehicle with the replacement plugs installed.

Hi Knowledge, his friendlyness and his communication was 1st class.

Will use again. This guy deserves a medal.”

“Yes, very happy. I booked them because I didn't trust myself to remove glowplugs, as they are reputed to be delicate. The first one turned out to be already sheared off (not while I have had the car), the second one was stiff so he decided not to overstress it, it is still in. The third and fourth he removed and replaced. Very pleased that they had the experience to know the torque that was safe to apply. On completion of the job, the fault code cleared (though we know at least one of the glow plugs is not working), which means the car will run normally, not in "limp" mode.”
