Oil leaks can be hard to diagnose as 1 bad oil leak can cover the engine with oil and cover more. Luckily this 3 litre 1KD Prado wasn’t a rear main seal leak, just this little plastic plug disintegrated due to heat and age. All fixed now and passed the registration inspection.

It’s that time of the year again when we close the doors and enjoy a little break till the new year.

We will be closing monday the 22nd of December at 5pm and reopening on Monday the 5th of January 2026.

A huge thank you to all of our valued customers for allowing us to look after your vehicles.

A huge thank you to our valued suppliers for helping us with the parts to get our customers back on the road safely.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and happy new year, see you in 2026.

Definitely time to replace the water pump when this happens!
