To prolong the life span of your tyres it is advisable to rotate your tyre locations on a yearly basis.
Please note that if the puncture is within 1 inch of the tyres shoulder a repair can not be carried out as it is unlikely that the patch will adhere correctly
If you have experienced a puncture and the tyre has been driven whilst flat a puncture repair is unlikely to be carried out by the garage as this would have weakened the structure and integrity of the tyres side walls, on this occasion you will require a replacement tyre to be fitted for safety reasons (your garage will advise you accordingly)
Checking your tyres on a regular basis can save you hundreds of pounds in unnecessary repairs and incorrect fuel usage

All products used are new and not remanufactured unless otherwise requested. All 3 main parts will be replaced ie: clutch friction plate, clutch cover and release bearing. Your garage will contact you if they believe there to be any issues with the flywheel before re-fitting the new clutch. Much of the process to change a clutch is relatively the same however there are a few standard steps. The garage will start by
If the garage find the condition of the existing flywheel to be an issue they will contact you with the required remedy and costs before proceeding, Please understand that if you do not wish to proceed with the garages recommendations this may alter the warranty of the new clutch supplied.
The clutch is usually made up of 3 parts 1.clutch plate. 2.clutch cover. 3.clutch release bearing put in to simple terms the clutch plate is basically a friction disc/plate that, when activated with the other two parts by depressing and releasing the clutch pedal, it presses and in return releases against the flywheel which in turn receives drive connecting it from the flywheel to the gearbox hence driving the vehicle.
Some models have a separate ADD Blue tank and some have a blister bag. Your garage will advise you accordingly (please note if your vehicle has the blister bag type these are considerably more expensive to change than quoted here)
