Engine repairs
D&R repairs petrol and diesel engines in cars and vans, from oil leaks, misfires and failed sensors to head gaskets, injectors and turbo faults. Diagnostic testing is the right first step: it means the repair goes after the actual cause rather than the most likely guess.

Build a booking messageWhat are the signs of a failing head gasket?
Losing coolant with no visible leak, white smoke with a sweet smell from the exhaust, overheating, or bubbles in the coolant tank. A creamy residue under the oil cap can be a sign too, though short trips cause that as well. Stop driving if the engine is overheating.
Do you work on diesels?
Yes. D&R works on petrol and diesel engines in cars and light commercial vehicles.
