Car Filters
Car Filters Your cars filters are important to the longevity of your car and interior comfort and should be replaced regularly.

Air Filter traps dirt particles, which can cause damage to engine cylinders, walls, pistons etc. The Air filter also plays a role in keeping contaminants off the airflow sensor in fuel injected cars.

This is why you should always Check your Nuts!
This story is a great example of why you should always Check your NUTS! A pedestrian was left with a fractured chest and skull when he face-planted into the ground after a runaway tyre hit him on the back of the head. Roberto Carlos Fernandes, 50, was walking along the pavement with his wife in Ipatinga, Brazil, when the loose tyre came speeding towards him. It had just come off a vehicle on the opposite side of the dual-carriageway – and careered over two reservations towards the couple. It bounced several times before smashing into the back of his head – face-planting him into the hard concrete.

So for those of you who think that lights are only for when its dark – Please ensure you use them day or night, if we have fog! By not doing … Continue reading
