FAQs
What does a full vehicle inspection include?
A full vehicle inspection covers all critical systems to ensure your vehicle is safe, roadworthy, and performing as expected. It typically includes checking the brakes, suspension, steering, tyres, lights, cooling system, belts, battery, fluids, exhaust, and engine components. Technicians may also scan for diagnostic fault codes and assess underbody condition. These inspections help identify worn or damaged parts early, prevent breakdowns, and maintain compliance with registration or workplace safety standards.
How does heavy towing impact engine wear?
Heavy towing places increased strain on your engine, transmission, cooling system, and brakes. It forces the engine to work harder, increasing internal temperatures and accelerating wear on components like pistons, bearings, and gaskets. Towing also affects fuel economy and can lead to overheating if systems aren’t properly maintained. Regular servicing, fluid checks, and using the right towing equipment help minimise damage and extend the life of your vehicle under heavy load.
Why does my gearbox feel stiff or noisy?
A stiff or noisy gearbox can indicate several issues, including worn synchronisers, low or contaminated transmission fluid, or internal mechanical damage. You may hear grinding, whining, or feel resistance when shifting gears, especially in manual vehicles. Ignoring these signs can lead to serious transmission failure. Regular fluid changes and early diagnosis of unusual sounds or sensations help prevent long-term damage and keep your gearbox operating smoothly and quietly.
