Symptoms: Grinding noises, a spongy feeling pedal, grinding sounds or the handbrake rising higher than normal.

Cambelt
The timing belt is responsible for keeping many of the moving components in the engine moving in time with each other. It is vital that the cambelt is replaced within the manufacturers recommended intervals as a snapped cambelt can cause severe and expensive damage to the engine.

Symptoms: When it comes to Cambelts prevention is far better than the associated repairs, the best way to avoid a snapped cambelt is to regularly service your vehicle.

We can provide repairs across the entire systems as well as replacements for components where necessary.
