Cooling system repairs
If the temperature gauge is climbing, the coolant light is on or you keep topping up coolant, D&R can find the leak or the failed part and repair it: radiators, water pumps, thermostats, hoses, fans and expansion tanks on cars and vans. Don't keep driving an engine that's overheating.

Build a booking messageWhat should I do if my engine overheats?
Pull over when it's safe and switch the engine off. Don't open the coolant cap while it's hot: the system is under pressure and can scald. Let it cool, then message or call D&R before driving again.
Can I top it up with water?
In an emergency, water will get you moving, but it dilutes the antifreeze and corrosion protection. Get the leak fixed and the coolant mixed to the right strength afterwards.
