Your power mirrors are something that you adjust rarely but when you need to change them it’s good if they work. The power mirror switch is a small electrical component that sends power to the motors that adjust your mirrors.

Battery Replacement

Your car battery is a large electrical storage device that is found within the engine bay. It is filled with electrolyte and lead plates, and is charged by the alternator. It is connected to the car's electrical system between the two attachment poles on the top of the battery. These are the famous ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ terminals. These allow the charge to be transferred through the vehicle to where it is needed and keep everything safe with a good ground.

Glow Plug Replacement

A glow plug is screwed into the cylinder head a lot like a spark plug. Except it has an electric element at the end of it that heats up to over 850 degrees celsius. This then heats up the cylinder head and helps the diesel mixture to combust and start the engine. They don’t stay on forever though, the engine is soon hot enough to handle itself and the glow plugs turn off.

Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement

The oil pressure sensor is one of the most important sensors in your car. If your engine is struggling to get oil then it’s something you want to know about as soon as possible. Your engine needs oil to function properly, if there’s an issue your oil pressure sensor will let you know so you don’t blow up your motor."
