    There is no doubt that the prices of vehicles are increasing and when we talk about Ford, its maintenance requires a little more care. Do you know the fact that car maintenance can increase its life as well as the resale value? Ford is one of the luxury cars and its price is also not easy to afford.

    Keeping the car’s value aside, everyone likes to have a smooth ride which is possible with flawless maintenance only. In this article, we have described some important tips to keep cars well maintained. Let’s explore the details:

    Change the Engine Oil

    You should change engine oil quite often because different impurities accumulate in the oil when it stays in the engine for a long time. It is important to change the engine oil every month to keep the engine free from all impurities.

    After every 3000 miles, the oil needs to be changed, and make sure you do not compromise on the quality of oil because substandard fuel can affect the efficiency of an engine.

    If you are unable to change the oil yourself, it will be good to get it changed by a professional and for this purpose, you’ll need to take the car to a well-reputed workshop.

    Lubricate Suspension Components

    It is crucial to lubricate suspension components because they should work smoothly. You can face several problems while driving the car if you do not lubricate suspension components timely as they create friction which ultimately affects the driving experience.

    So, make sure you get the finest lubricant for suspension components and you can watch Youtube tutorials in this regard if you do not know the procedure of lubricating the components.

    Wax the Paint

    There are multiple benefits of waxing the paint as it protects the paint from sun rays and color fading. If you are concerned about restoring the premium shine of the paint, make sure to wax the paint at least twice a year. It may prove a bit expensive however you can save the cost of repainting the car’s body. Make sure you get it done by an expert service provider.

    Buy a Manual and Follow Instructions

    You should buy a Ford factory shop manual for repairing small defects on your own. These manuals are usually available right according to the model of the Ford so you’ll know every detail in a quite precise way. This manual will be quite helpful for keeping the Ford well-maintained. You may need to buy some tools for repairing small defects yourself and you can mark the list of those tools mentioned in the manual. Make sure to follow the exact instructions mentioned in the manual for getting better results.

    Cleanliness is Important

    A car should look clean and well maintained because driving a ford that has stinky seats and stains over the dashboard can make you feel bad. You should keep the car clean and for this purpose, you may need to take the vehicle to a service station for detailed cleaning.

    Make sure that all areas under seats are cleaned properly even if you need to take out the mats because dust particles can make the car look clingy. You should prefer steam washing because it will help in saving water and regulatory bodies also appreciate water-saving methods.

    Rotate the Tires

    It is one of the best things yet people do not bother about it. You should rotate tires while making sure that dust particles stuck in the middle of the tires get cleaned properly. Tire rotation can increase the life of tires and you won’t have to replace them quite often. It doesn’t require much time but you can add extra life to tires by following this important tip.

    Keep a Record

    You should keep a record of all maintenance details because this will help you keep an eye on small details. Try to maintain a record regarding the car service and small defects. You’ll be able to explain the faults better to the mechanic if you keep a record of your car’s details. You can even note down mileage per liter for knowing the fuel efficiency of the car.

    Check Heater and AC

    The car’s heater and AC should be checked randomly because if they stop working at any point, the engine gets affected. When the engine of the car heats up suddenly, it can be due to the poor working of an air conditioner. You should test both things and if you find any fault, get it repaired by reading the instructions from the manual.

    Do Not Ignore Faulty Headlights

    Dim lights are a clear sign of faulty lights so if you notice a car’s headlights are dim, get them replaced with new ones or change the bulb from inside. In short, these suggestions are crucial to ponder for flawless maintenance of Ford.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
