FRONT WIPER BLADES

Why wiper blades need changing regularly:
The simplest thing can affect your safety or cause your car to fail its MOT.  Make sure you always have unrestricted vision and clear windscreens. Check your wipers regularly and keep topped up with a good quality screenwash.

Important signs that Wiper Blades need replacing include:

• If there are streaks and smears on your windscreen
• If the wipers are noisier than normal or move awkwardly
• If there are any areas the wipers leave untouched

If you’re in doubt as to whether it’s time to replace your Windscreen Wiper Blades, get in touch with us to book an appointment and we'll be happy to help!

BRAKES

Why brake pads need changing:

To keep you and your passengers safe, make sure your brakes are always maintained to the highest level. Important signs that front brake pads need replacing include:

• If your brakes do not respond as normal, feeling either softer or stiffer than usual.
• If your vehicle is leaking an oily fluid
• You feel a juddering when braking
• You hear a grinding noise when braking

To operate your brakes safely, brake fluid is forced around an enclosed system clamping the brake pads around the brake disc, to slow your car down. 

Important signs that Brake pads & discs need replacing include:

• If your brake pedal feels either softer or stiffer than usual
• If your car judders to a stop
• If your car steers to one side when you apply the brake

If you’re in doubt as to whether it’s time to replace your brake pads and discs, get in touch with us to book an appointment and we'll be happy to help!

TIMING BELT

Why timing belts need changing regularly:

Timing belts are a very hard working part of your car's engine, so wear and tear is inevitable. Checking and replacing them if necessary, avoids a lot of damage should a timing belt fail. Many factors will influence how long a timing belt lasts, so we always recommend: 

• Replacement after approximately 70,000 miles 
• Top quality and regular servicing
• Trying to limit stop/start journeys, which avoids putting more strain on your timing belt 

If you’re in doubt as to whether it’s time to replace your timing belt, get in touch with us to book an appointment and we'll be happy to help!

BATTERIES

Why batteries need changing:

Whilst batteries are designed to be maintenance free, occasionally they can cause problems and develop faults. Therefore we recommend that you look out for: 

• Your vehicle failing to start first time
• Low performance from your vehicle's electrical system
• That your battery is secure in its mount 
• Signs of cable corrosion

If you’re in doubt as to whether it’s time to replace your battery, get in touch with us to book an appointment and we'll be happy to help!

WATER PUMP (WHEN FITTED WITH A TIMING BELT)

Why your water pump needs replacing:

The water pump receives little attention tucked away out of sight under your car’s timing belt cover. But without a water pump, your car would overheat and you'd be left shopping around for a new engine. Do you need to replace your water pump?

Important signs to look out for:

• Is your car overheating?
• Is there a sudden change in temperature guage?

If you’re in doubt as to whether it’s time to replace your Water Pump, get in touch with us to book an appointment and we'll be happy to help!

TYRES

Have you checked your tyres?

As the driver, you're responsible for the condition of your tyres, so it's good to know the basic criteria they should meet:

• All tyres in good condition, free from any cuts, tears, lumps or bulges
• Tread depth at least 1.6mm around the whole tyre, and across 75% of the width. Citroën technicians will recommend replacing tyres when the tread reaches 3mm to avoid ever reaching the lower limit
• Pressures in line with Citroën’s recommendations
• Appropriate and compatible tyres for the vehicle and its wheels. You also must not mix different types of tyre on the same axle.

If your tyres fall below these standards, you could face a penalty of up to £2,500 per illegal tyre, plus points on your license. It’s much better to be safe, so book a free tyre check or book your replacement tyres with us today.
