Russ’s Friday Garage Tip

Every Friday I’ll be sharing a simple piece of advice from the workshop to help you understand your car a little better, stay safe on the road, and hopefully avoid unnecessary repair bills.

This week’s tip: Don’t wait until your tyres are illegal.

Most drivers know the legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm.

What many people don’t realise is that tyre performance starts to reduce well before then. As tread wears down, especially below around 3mm, your stopping distance in wet conditions can increase significantly.

While you’re checking your tyres, also look for:
✔️ Cracks in the sidewalls.
✔️ Bulges or cuts.
✔️ Uneven wear.
✔️ Correct tyre pressures.

One thing that’s often overlooked is wheel alignment.

If your steering wheel isn’t straight, the car pulls to one side, or your tyres are wearing more on the inside or outside edge, your wheel alignment may need checking.

Poor alignment can shorten the life of your tyres, affect how the car drives and, in some cases, increase fuel consumption. Correcting it early can save you replacing tyres sooner than necessary.

A good place to start is by checking the advisories from your previous MOT or service. They often highlight tyres that are becoming worn or uneven before they become a problem.

If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to help.

📞 Call us on 01827 64459 or book online http://M0T.ME/9NX7S

and we’ll be happy to check your tyres and wheel alignment for you.

Have a safe weekend, and I’ll see you next Friday with another garage tip.

Common Nissan Juke Issue – Why Data Matters

We recently had a Nissan Juke 1.5 dCi in with the engine management light on, but the car was still driving normally.

No obvious symptoms — just the warning light.

Instead of just reading the fault code and guessing, we looked at the live data from the car:

📊 DPF pressure reading was stuck at 0📊 Soot level showed the filter was clean

That told us:👉 The DPF itself wasn’t blocked👉 The issue was with how the car was measuring pressure

On inspection, we found:🔧 Split DPF pressure pipes🔧 Faulty pressure sensor

💡 Why this matters:Fault codes point you in a direction — but live data shows what’s actually happening.

In this case, relying on the code alone could easily lead to replacing the DPF unnecessarily.

If your engine light is on, it’s always worth going a step further than just a code read.

Em light on?
