Driving Tips for Perranporth

If you're driving through Perranporth, keep your speed down on the B3285 — especially at B3285 into town where visibility can be limited.

Real-World Scenario

After a jump start, the engine died again immediately? This usually means the alternator isn't charging — the jump got the engine running, but it can't sustain itself. We test your charging system on the spot and can often diagnose whether it's the alternator, a wiring fault, or just a failed battery.

What NOT to Do

Don't pour boiling water on a frozen windscreen — the thermal shock will crack the glass. Use a proper de-icer or call us if the vehicle won't start in freezing conditions.
