One of the reasons you should check your fluids regularly is for component failure. An oil cooler, will give you symptoms such as finding oil in the place you'd check your engine coolant. Finding things early is more likely to end in a successful and more economical repair.

Fantastic local garage who understand that while I have many strengths, car fixing is not one of them haha!! They patiently explain everything, run free weekend motorist workshops and don’t laugh at me when I call and say my car is ‘making a noise’. The welcome I receive is always warm and personal and I’m greeted with a flurry of ‘Hi Nik’s when I step out of the car. Honestly, they’re exceptional and I hesitate to recommend only as I want to keep them all to myself!!! A*!

Avia is now in the second generation of ownership, Hayley Pells taking over from her father, Andy Murdoch who started his automotive career with the army in the mid 1960's and his aftermarket career in the mid 1970's. Working together as equal partners for over a decade after Hayley left the RAF, the partnership came to an end when Andy wanted to spend more time with his classic motorcycle collection. Andy is still a familiar sight at the workshop since Hayley became the sole owner.
