When should you consider a fuel injector replacement?

Over time, the fuel injectors can be affected by dirty fuel which will mean that the injectors can clog up in turn the injectors will not be able to diffuse the fuel optimally. In most cases it means that the fuel lines or fuel tank have started to corrode. Alternatively, it can be that the fuel filter has become ineffective, not filtering out debris as it should. All of this leads to engine misfires and therefore an engine that does not run smoothly. Should you experience problems with the fuel supply, then it is advisable to have the fuel supply system and the fuel injectors inspected and, if necessary, have the fuel injectors replaced. Seeing that the fuel injectors are especially prone to deterioration over time they should always be replaced as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car’s manufacturer.

How does a car’s exhaust work?

Without an exhaust system, the first thing you would notice is the noise – which would be many times greater. Your engine is also designed to run with an exhaust’s ‘backpressure’ on gases leaving the engine. Removing the backpressure reduces performance and burns more fuel. Finally, your car would emit dangerous levels of waste gas without one.

What does an Anti-roll bars link do?

Anti-roll bar links are short metal rods with joints known as ‘bushings’ at each end. The purpose of anti roll bar links is to connect the anti-roll bar in a car’s suspension to the rest of the suspension structure. Anti-roll bars are fitted to just about any car these days. Most cars have an anti-roll bar on the front as well as the rear of the car. Anti-roll bars stabilize your car when you go through a corner. Whilst it is an important component it’s often tricky to know whether you will need to replace it. Luckily there are a couple of checks that can be done to find out if it needs replacing.

Is it safe to drive with a broken Anti-roll bar link?

Depending on the vehicle you’re driving, you may have a front or a rear sway bar, or you may have both. If you suspect that a sway bar is broken, you can still drive the car, but you must use caution. The way this will affect your drive will depend on if the front or rear sway bar is broken.

What does a Coil Spring do?

A coil spring is a helical spring that compresses and expands as you drive over a road surface, it absorbs the bumps in the road and counters excessive bouncing that might occur after the initial shock absorption. In other words, the coil spring smooths out the road’s irregularities. The coil spring encapsulates, in many cases, the shock absorber and essentially forms a single unit that is mounted between the upper and lower wishbone. Sometimes a coil / shock absorber unit can also be part of a suspension strut, as in a MacPherson suspension system.

How does vehicle brakes work?

The braking system in a car is responsible for bringing your vehicle to a stop while you’re driving.
Modern cars have brakes on all four wheels which are operated by a hydraulic system and are made up of several components. The front brakes in a car are typically the ones which play the greater part in bringing a car to stop as the weight of the car is thrown forward every time the vehicle comes to a stop. There are different systems used for braking from one car to the next which suits the needs of the vehicle size and function. The common hydraulic system uses fluid to apply pressure to pistons in the car close to its wheels to bring the car to a halt. Some cars also have power brake assistance which helps to reduce the amount of effort required to apply stopping power.

What Are the Benefits of Changing a Fuel Filter?

Cars made prior to 1980 used mechanical fuel pumps and carburettors that required low fuel pressure to operate. Fuel filters keep contaminants and other particles from clogging the injectors.

When should you consider a Fuel Filter replacement?

Over time, a fuel filter can get rather dirty, clog up or fail completely. There will be a reduced flow of fuel towards the engine or, in extreme cases, dirty fuel will pass through the filter and onto the engine. Eventually, a fuel filter that does not work correctly can lead to further damage. Should you experience problems with the fuel supply, then it is advisable to have the fuel filter inspected and, if necessary, have it replaced. Seeing that the fuel filter is a component that is especially prone to wear it should always be replaced as and when stipulated in the servicing guidelines set out by your car’s manufacturer.

MOT Reading

Minor MOT Reading Faults

A ‘minor’ fault would be considered as one where the problem does not cause an immediate safety risk but should be rectified soon. This is very similar to the existing system whereby an advisory is given to items that the driver should be aware of and may cause a future MOT failure if not addressed. A MOT certificate will still be issued if a vehicle only has minor faults.

Example:
All vehicles manufactured since 1971 must have a minimum of 2 brake lights (or stop lights) at the rear of the vehicle. If a vehicle has three brakes lights and one is not functioning, the vehicle will receive a Minor defect on the MOT.

Major MOT Reading Faults

A ‘major’ fault is more serious, poses a potential safety risk to drivers and others. It could also be a defect that has a damaging impact on the environment. These faults will result in a MOT failure and the owner will not be issued with an MOT pass certificate until the issues have been rectified.

Example:
Using the same vehicle as an example, if two of the three brake lights are inoperative (specifically, more than ½), the vehicle will receive a Major defect on the MOT.
