    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.

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

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • 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.
