    Top Tips for Maintaining Your Car

    Having your own car is the first step to freedom, whether it be your first one, or a more expensive model you have saved up to buy for years. In any case, your car is like a child, which needs constant care and attention. This may seem impossible when you have other commitments throughout the week, and a small budget on which to do them. Yet, if you can solve problems early on, or prevent them from happening altogether, you can stop them from turning into anything bigger. Luckily, there are a few simple checks you can carry out on most days, which will take up a short space of time, but will also ensure the best maintenance of your car.

     Replace the anti-freeze fluid

    The coolant in your car shouldn’t need replacing more than two or three times a year, but is crucial in keeping your car running in cold winter months and boiling summer days. This is why you need to check the levels are where they should be at because you don’t want to risk your car not being able to start the moment temperatures drop below zero. It is also a big danger sometimes to have your car cut out in high heat. By topping up coolant levels to where they should be, this can be a weight off your mind in extreme weather.

    Inspect oil levels

    It isn’t just your coolant levels that need to be checked regularly. In fact, maintaining the right oil levels is crucial to the wellbeing of your vehicle. Having the right level of oil means your car won’t meet any unwanted friction near the engine, but you should watch out for the colour of the oil, too. If it is your usual brown or amber colour, then it shows your car is clean in the inside. If it is black, then you might need to take it for a deep clean to remove any sludge from the inside, or for an inspection to make sure there isn’t another severe internal issue.

    Check your wheels

    Without a sturdy set of wheels, your vehicle isn’t going to be of any use and can cause immeasurable problems when you are on the road. Yet having such wheels is one of the easiest parts to keeping your car in top condition. Every day, it’s wise to have a once over of your car to make sure the wheels don’t have a puncture, are inflated to a suitable level, and are set up with the best wheel nut indicators if you are operating a heavier vehicle than most.

    Take it for a clean

    Often, the best way to spot any ongoing issues with your car is to keep it clean. With grime in the way, you sometimes can’t see the issues that are being hidden. Having an external clean, and sometimes an internal one, is the best way of taking a deeper look at the way your car works. If you spot a problem this way, you can take it to get sorted before it becomes anything bigger.

    • The brand new Haval H6 GT was spotted in Bedfordview JHB by @engineeringkulture 

The H6 is proving to be a big success in SA and this sportier-looking offering is likely to sell very well in Mzansi.

What do you think of it?

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
