- Suspension Noise: Knocking sounds from the suspension are reported, particularly over uneven surfaces, indicating possible wear in suspension components.
- Engine Issues: Instances of the engine failing to start or unexpected stalling may be linked to battery or ignition problems.
- Excessive Brake Wear: Premature brake wear is a concern, necessitating more frequent replacements of pads and rotors than expected.
- Air Conditioning Problems: In some cases, the air conditioning may fail to cool effectively, which could be due to refrigerant leaks or compressor issues.

Called one day and he was at my door the next. Ran a cable in my car for me in 10mins flat for a new audio system, would probably have taken me over an hour and I'd probably have broken something in the process. Also did quite a lot of tidying up, made everything neat, cleaned the battery terminals for me that had degraded and connected everything up. Made an existing connection that I'd made to the amplifier more sturdy. Did way more than I asked him to, clearly very experienced and knows what he's doing, will definitely use again!Posted on Google![]()
