Top tips for tyre care:
Keep your Tyre Pressure correct! This will help your car drive and handle better on the road. Your tyres will last long ensuring the maximum wear
possible is achieved. Having the correct pressure will optimise your cars performance giving your better fuel economy.
Balance Your Wheels! If your wheels are not balanced, this will cause your steering wheel to shake when you are driving. This can cause premature
wear of your steering and suspension components and also your tyres. It is important that all four wheels are balanced properly.
Wheel Alignment. When new all your wheels come pointing in the same direction, but through everyday driving these settings can sometimes be affected
by excessively worn steering and suspension parts, driving against a kerb, hitting the every increasing number of potholes or other objects in the road. This can
result in rapid uneven tyre wear and can affect the handling and safety of your vehicle; therefore it is advisable to get your wheels aligned by a specialist every
few months.
We hear you, now let us fix your exhaust for you to go green
From complete systems to just a part, our prices will stun you into silence
Your exhaust system is made up of a variety of parts that work together to perform important tasks. The primary task of your exhaust system is to remove the hot
exhaust gasses produced by the combustion system from the engine area. Your exhaust system also serves to control the noise and the pollutants that are produced
by your vehicle.
The state of repair, as well as the quality, of your exhaust system parts affects the efficiency and performance of your engine, as the smoother and more free-flowing
the process of exhaust expulsion is, the less effort - or horsepower - your engine has to put into pushing it out. A quality exhaust system in good repair can benefit
your fuel mileage, as your engine will be working more efficiently.
Battery problems? Click, click instead of vroom, vroom?
We will provide value for money that won't be a shock to your system
With proper care and maintenance, an average car should reach over 100,000 miles or more. But chances are the car's original battery will not be in place when the
odometer turns over. This is because car batteries have definite shelf lives, and no amount of maintenance or care can reverse the effects of chemicals on metal.
At some point in every car's lifetime, its battery must be replaced.
If the car battery is too weak to provide a sufficient charge to the starter, the solenoid switch will not function correctly. It will make a distinctive clicking sound.
This clicking should indicate to the driver that the battery is not fully charged. It will need to be recharged with professional equipment or jump started.
A a simple procedure called a load test can be performed to determine if the battery is ready to be replaced. A vehicle technician will attach a voltmeter to the battery's
terminals while the car is running. A switch on the voltmeter will then change the power load from the alternator to the battery alone. Sometimes a weak alternator will
be the culprit, but other times the test will reveal a weak battery not capable of holding a charge. This means the battery must be replaced.
JD Motors will help you to identify the right car battery for your car, within your financial constraints. We will explain the benefits to the choices available and
once a decision has been made, correctly install the battery in your vehicle. Your journey now starts here!
In the dark about replacing a blown vehicle bulb?
Seeing the light with JD Motors
Replacing a burned-out bulb or headlight on a vehicle is generally an easy task for an owner to undertake, often without the need for any tools However for some,
the task is daunting especially when it is necessary to start dismantling the vehicle to gain access to the bulb holder. It no longer becomes as easy as replacing a
light bulb in the home.
Handling little fiddly things [bulbs, screws, tools] over a complicated engine compartment with lots of deep dark holes is fraught with danger. Short of turning the car
upside down and shaking it, there's not much anyone can do for you if you lose a vital screw or clip as Murphy's law always prevents it falling out the bottom.
What is said to be a simple job turns into a major exercise involving much swearing, loss of skin / blood and temper. JD Motors can generally have a burnt out
lamp replaced in you vehicle long before you have located the right bulb in your local retail store. Faulty lights are one of the commonest faults and a frequent
cause of MOT test failures.
One eyed "monsters" can be the cause of accidents and it's certainly illegal to drive a vehicle on the road with faulty lights. Having a garage replace a lamp for
you is obviously more expensive than a DIY attempt, but what price can you put on safety?
