Throttle Position Sensor Replacement

The throttle position sensor is a small device that tells your throttle body how much pressure you’re applying to the accelerator pedal. This means that the right mixture of air/fuel is put into the engine and the car accelerates at the rate you want it too.

Ignition Switch Replacement

The ignition switch is what gets the ball rolling on your commute. It is what completes the circuit and gets the starter to turn the motor over. The ignition switch is how baddies used to steal cars in the old days. Modern cars often have a ‘push button’ start and are much harder to steal. The ignition switch gets a fair workout over its lifetime so it’s not unexpected for it to fail.

Alternator Replacement

It’s a pretty neat piece of kit really! An alternator gets its name from the current it generates - alternating. It generates this current from the belt spinning the electromagnet inside the housing. As this electromagnet spins, it sends a charge to the stators. This is a DC current and the rectifier converts this to AC, the regulator then sends the right amount out so your car can use it. It all sounds really complicated and it is.

Fuse Replacement

Put simply a fuse is the weakest part of an electrical circuit, designed to fail first in the event of a surge in electrical power and before it can cause damage to the rest of the circuit. Vehicles often have fuses throughout, although a fuse box often contains the most important fuses, making them easy to check and/ or replace when required. Fuses are made at different strengths, based on their use, so it is important to replace a fuse with the same type and rating to ensure they continue to do their job.

When a fuse requires replacing, it's also important to note that it is a warning sign that something more significant is wrong with that component’s electrics.
