    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!

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
