At the same award show the following year, Vauxhall won 'Manufacturer of the Year', proving that the brand is still going from strength to strength.

A typical car engine has around 200 parts, all of which must be maintained and replaced if they stop functioning correctly. As such, car engine repair is a broad term that covers a wide range of problems.

If an engine fault repair is needed, a mechanic will often conduct a diagnostic test first to determine which component is to blame.
