Car producers strive constantly to satisfy the ever increasing expectations of the demanding car buyer, by upping the specification of a vehicle to incorporate the latest technological advances in driver aids, personal safety equipment and electronic gizmos. This, coupled with a requirement to meet and exceed the latest emissions regulations, has resulted in the use of increasingly complex electronics in modern vehicles.

The days of opening the bonnet and having “a tinker” are gone. Sophisticated electronic systems require equally sophisticated diagnostic equipment to interrogate them when a problem arises. Frogs Island 4×4 has invested in such equipment and can conduct diagnostic checks on virtually any make and model of vehicle.

Of course, not all faults are due to electronics failure and other issues such as a “rattle from near the back when I turn left” or a “vibration through the car at 55mph” are equally commonplace and valid examples of where our wealth of knowledge comes to the fore in tracking down the source of the problem and effecting a repair.
