    Top Tips For Looking After Your Motor

    Your car is a very expensive bit of kit, so it would be silly to mistreat it! Be sure to keep your motor well looked after. Especially now it’s winter. Here are some top tips to keep you on the right track when it comes to all things looking after your car.

    Tune Your Engine

    Do you really want to get that perfect performance power? Then tuning engines is the way to go about it. It’s a very simple endeavour. The idea behind it is that, ideally, you want to keep your vehicle in the ‘power zone’ before and after each gear change. This, in turn, is to gain the optimum amount of power from your engine. This has the added benefit of keeping your engine in good shape, while also turbocharging it to the max! Now, you can really start to make use of all that horsepower when zooming down the motorway. Enjoy.

    Pump Up Your Tyres

    This one is super important. Keeping your tyres pumped up to the correct tyre pressure is essential to safe driving. It’s very dangerous to drive with deflated or uneven pressured tyres as it can result in a serious accident or damage to your car. Be sure to avoid either of these scenarios by getting your motor’s handbook out and checking for your car’s tyre pressure. It should be relatively easy to locate, and for some cars, it is often found on the inside of the driver’s door. Once you know the tyre pressure, be sure to pump up your wheels at the nearest gas station before a long journey. Substantial wear can hit your tyres when driving for a long time. So, make sure they’re ready for the ride just as much as you are!


    Keep It Clean

    Do you regularly drive down a lot of country roads or somehow find yourself driving your car into an absolute state at the end of each week? If so, then it’s important to keep your motor clean! Stray bits of debris, mud or even small, dead animals can do serious harm to your car’s interior. The engine may malfunction should something that isn’t supposed to be there finds its way in! A twig or animal carcas is enough to stop your fan working and cause the engine to overheat – which is a nightmare in itself! To avoid all of this, it’s worth just washing your car down and cleaning out the grill at the front at the end of each week. That way, you can always rest easy that something nasty is unlikely to happen!

    Ensure It Is Well Topped Up With Fluids

    Keep your car well serviced and top upped with the right fluids. This means getting your oil levels, water, etc., regularly checked at a garage. Furthermore, ensuring you have the right amount of antifreeze and coolant is all part of getting your car ready for winter. So, don’t slack – start doing it!

    Hopefully, these top tips will enable you to take better care of your motor. For many people, our cars are our prized possession, so don’t let laziness or ignorance spoil that!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
