Pulling Dents

Filed under: Bodywork — admin @ 5:31 pm

Whenever you tackle bodywork on a car you can be sure you need to deal with a few dents here and there. You could choose just to fill them in, but in many cases you would want to “pull the dent” first and then fill with filler or whatever.

Here is a simple video showing how to pull dents with the right equipment. Just abut anyone can do it quickly and efficiently. Just by spot welding a full pull points you can get the tools behind and pull the dent back to as near the shape it was before the accident.
Its not the best video we have seen, but iut serves a purpose.

Easy Job Check Transmission Fluid

Filed under: Keep On Road — admin @ 5:23 pm

OK to you and me the transmission is the gearbox, either manual or automatic. just like the engine it needs lubrication fluid to keep it right and trouble free. This is an American video but shows you how easy it to check your transmission fluid, expecially on front wheeled drive vehciles, where the gearbox is under the bonnet with the engine.
You can do this job in minutes and to be honest most gearboxes can outlive the car, so dont expect to find much wrong.

September Increase In Car Sales

Filed under: Industry — admin @ 6:52 pm

Well we hinted last month that the figures suggesting car manufacture was down, did not really tell the whole story and this month the same news channels are telling us that new car sales are up 7% compared to the same month lasy year. Of course September is new registration time and when car dealers are going to get the majority of their sales. but all the negative news seems to have been premature just for the sake fo headlines.

The scrappage scheme is at last been demeed a succes and being part responsable not only for the currebt rise in mew car sales, but also the rise in used car sales. In fact it has been said that for the first time in history, used cars have increased in value, just by being parked on the drive. Even specialist sources such as CAP price books are confirming this.

In fact confidence seems to be growing right through the country with mosts news channels suggesting the resssion is ove, but will grow slowly back to normal levels. Then as used car prices go up and new car prices pretty much as cheap as they are ever going to go, it doesn’t take a detective to figure out that new car sales will grow and grow over the next 6 months or so.

Even finance is being made more available for those back loans and contract hire options. Not much private car lease has been around for some time, so maybe moew will return together with business contract hire options for more small businesses.
