Questions
Questions we get asked
Signs include slipping between gears, delayed or harsh shifting, unusual noises when changing gear and fluid leaks. Any of these are worth having checked before the problem gets worse.
In many cases yes, depending on what's actually failed and the extent of the damage. A proper diagnosis is needed to work out whether a repair is realistic or whether replacement is the more sensible option.
Overheating is commonly caused by a coolant leak, a failing water pump, a blocked radiator or a faulty thermostat. Continuing to drive an overheating vehicle can quickly turn a minor issue into major engine damage.
