McLaren Repair: £7,000 Quote vs. £1,500 Fix – A Mechanic's Clever Solution

Headline: UK Mechanic Saves McLaren Owner Thousands with Simple Fix A McLaren 720S owner in the UK was initially quoted a staggering £7,000 to repair an oil leak at a local dealership. This hefty price tag involved pulling the engine and replacing the rocker cover. However, GVE London mechanic, in a recent video, revealed a much simpler solution. After a thorough inspection, the mechanic discovered the cause was loose spark plugs and oil-contaminated coil packs, all stemming from an overfilled engine. "He was quoted around about £7,000 to pull the engine out and change the rocker cover," the mechanic explains in the video. "I said that's fine, I can do the job as well for less." The repair, involving only replacing the spark plugs and coil packs, cost the owner a significantly more affordable £1,500. This case highlights the importance of proper diagnostics and the potential for substantial savings by avoiding unnecessary major repairs. The video concludes with the mechanic highlighting the successful and cost-effective resolution of the issue.
