Permit-zone London: the repair comes to the parking space
Between permit zones and packed kerbside parking, a Focus or C-Max that won't start in Wandsworth is stuck exactly where it died — Putney, Battersea and Earlsfield don't forgive a car that has to wait a week for a postal cluster repair. We come to the space the car is already in, repair the original cluster in the van and have you driving the same day, mileage and keys untouched. Plenty of Battersea and Balham trades run Transit Connects too; a dead dash on a working van never waits well.

How a Wandsworth visit works
- Call or message with your postcode and symptoms. Dead dash, flashing immobiliser light, gauges at zero, dashes for mileage — tell us what the car is doing and what it is (Focus, C-Max, Kuga, Transit, Galaxy, S-Max, Mondeo).
- We come to the car. Home, work or wherever it refused to start. The van carries the test gear, components and tools for these Visteon clusters.
- Diagnose first, at the car. We confirm the cluster is actually the fault before any repair — if it's the battery, wiring or another module, you get told straight.
- Board-level repair on site. The cluster comes out, the failed stage is rebuilt on the bench in the van, and it goes straight back into your car.
- Started, tested, driven. Gauges, mileage, warning lights and immobiliser all proven working before we leave — same day.
C-Max — gauges to zero mid-errand — Wandsworth
Needles collapsed on the way through Putney and the engine stumbled with them. We met the car where it was parked up, rebuilt the cluster board in the van and road-tested before handing back the keys.
