15.01.2022 Open again for business after yet another flood, clients note, due to railway underpass and the Landsown bride being closed due to flooding, you will need to come the back way over rocky hill.

14.01.2022 If only, An Mustang named Eleanor parked in front of Eleanor Automotive in it's glory, that would be a dream come true. Even though Eleanor Automotive was named after the street name. :-) https://classicsforacause.com.au/eleanor-mustang/

10.01.2022 Today one of my valued clients brought in his vehicle to inspect a noise in the engine especially when cold. After inspection I determined the noise was coming from inside the timing cover area diagnosing a faulty gas tensioner in the timing belt area. After dismantling I confirmed my diagnosis. As the history of the vehicle with regards to the timing belt replacement was unknown, the best course of action was to replace the timing belt kit. In this procedure, I replaced th...e timing belt, timing belt tensioner bearing, timing belt idler bearing, timing belt gas tensioner and the cam seals and the crank seal. As a preventative measure i also replaced the water pump as it also resides in the timing belt vicinity and is actually driven by the belt in this vehicle. Failure to replace all the above mentioned components in a timing belt job can lead to premature failure and certain catastrophic engine damage. This is caused by the valve timing going out of sync with the piston position which is why it is so critical to ensure your maintenance schedule of the timing belt is kept up to date. At Eleanor Automotive I don't cut corners when carrying out this sort of work. If you are having this sort of work done on your vehicle by another mechanic insist on seeing all the old parts.

09.01.2022 comitted to the cause, lol.

04.01.2022 Today I acquired 2 pieces of history, a 3 hp coopers stationary engine and a villiers staionary engine. Both these engines came from a time when the combustion engine was in it's infancy. A treasure from a time gone by. Both true works of art that stood the test of time. I will make a video of them running at a later date. We must never forget from where it all started and how far we have come.

01.01.2022 This week finished another major job, one of my valued clients brought in a vehicle with over heating issues and oil leaks. Turns out the fan clutch had failed, the radiator was blocked and the seals in the timing belt area perished allowing oil to leak onto the belt compromising the belt's integrity. Failure of the belt could in some cases could mean catastrophic engine damage, as such, a new belt, tensioner bearing, idler bearing, water pump, seals, gas tensioner and radiator fitted with fresh coolant. Am happy to report the over heating issue is solved along with the oil leaks and the old Mitsubishi has a new lease on life for at least 100 000km.
