Ford Transit’s oil leaks solved. Left garage with a squeaky clean engine bay

This poor Ford Transit limped into our garage leaking oil all over it’s engine.
After a good steam clean, our technicians ran it for a while until we diagnosed small leaks coming from the turbo return pipe and the front timing chain cover.

Aarons Autos helps a Citreon C3 owner with a pungent problem

This Citroen C3 had a smelly problem. The customer complained that after 10 minutes of driving they started to get fumes in the cab which made them feel sick. They handed it over to Aarons Auto’s to diagnose the problem.

Aarons Autos - Citroen C3 repair (1)

It turned out that it was a common problem with these diesel engines. The engine gasses escape out from in-between the cylinder head and the fuel injector giving off the horrible smell the customer had complained about. After a major engine strip down, clean up with new seals fitted the little Citroen C3 was off to fight another day smelling of roses.

Aarons Autos Motorsport Teams dominate at Oulton Park

Aarons Autos Motorsport

Aarons Autos Performance Motorsport had all three of their race teams at Oulton Park Race Track last weekend for the MSVR Team Trophy race and boy they did not disappoint.

Aarons Autos Performance Motorsport Clio

Exploding Fist Racing had a great start in Class B with a blistering 2.00.950 minute qualifying time putting them in second place on the grid (in Class B) only 0.5 seconds behind the leader in their Class.

Team Trackspeed UK also managed to qualify in second place for Class C beating their team mates Norfolk n Chance by 0.02 seconds who ran into problems of there own after the gear linkage decided to bend during Aarons second lap of qualifying meaning he was unable to put in any faster times, all he could do was carry out his mandatory three laps and get the car back to the paddock to assess the damage.

After straightening the damaged linkage it was obvious that it would not be strong enough for the race so it was decided that a three hour round trip back to Aarons Autos was required to weld and strengthen the linkage, leaving only half an hour spare to refit the linkage and get to the holding area for the start of the race! Talk about a race against time!!

Chris Hoey started the race for Exploding Fist and managed to get a significant lead on his Class cars before handing over to Darren Langerveld who carried on pulling away from the other Class B cars giving him a thirty second lead before the car started to misfire! with the help of the huge lead and Darren’s sympathetic driving they managed to cross the line in first place for class B.

Then it came to Team Trackspeed and Norfolk n Chance in Class C, Paul Ivens Got a great start putting him straight into first place in class leaving Aaron Harding from Norfolk n Chance way behind stuck behind a couple of Class B cars, seeing this as a challenge Aaron made his way through the pack chasing down Paul for first in class, after several fast laps (including beating the Class C lap record) Aaron found himself nose to tail with Paul, a couple more battling laps and it was time to pit and hand the cars over to Adan Langerveld for Team Trackspeed and David Slater for Norfolk n Chance.Aarons Autos Winners

Due to a great pit stop from Norfolk n Chance they managed to get out before Team Trackspeed putting them first in Class, Adam didn’t like this and subsequently chased after Dave like a man possessed, unfortunately for Team Trackspeed this meant a very brave overtake manoeuvre into shell causing Adam to cut across the grass and damage the rear wheel bearing as he dropped back onto the track so all Dave had to do was finish to win Class. Adam managed to limp the Clio round the track for several laps to take second in class.

So two First places and one Second place, not bad for a weekends work. Watch the video below to see the footage from the Norfolk n Chance Clio.

Aarons Autos has 3 teams at Rockingham and take a WIN!!

Aarons Autos Race WinnersRockingham qualifying went ok, Norfolk n Chance managed 8th out of 31 with team trackspeed just ahead by 0.400 seconds in 7th and Exploding Fist in pole position. Unfortantly for Exploding Fist 6 laps in a water hose burst and they had to retire. Dave started for Norfolk n Chance and got another epic start going from 8th to 4th by the second corner but dropped to 5th by the end of the first lap. After a short battle with the VX220 we were in 5th with Paul from Team Trackspeed biting at our ankles then 13 mins in the excitement really started! Dave out braked himself into turn two letting Paul up the inside but hitting the side of us in the process, coming into turn 3 Dave had the line but then Paul got better drive up the hill into turn four but ran wide, Dave kept on the power and as Paul came back over he tapped Paul’s back end then Paul braked and Dave tapped him again and again sending Paul into a spin hitting us on the way round and giving Dave the place back with a nice dent in the side of the car (remember rubbing is racing) . Dave then kept his position until the changeover to Aaron and we didn’t cock up the pit stop this time. Aaron had a couple of great battles with the VX220 and Adam of Team Trackspeed but he managed to bring it home and we finished 3rd overall and 1st in class our best ever finish!!! We want to thank all our friends and family’s who came,our sister teams for being good sports and our sponsors for without them we wouldn’t be racing!!!
