Engine backfires are small, and abrupt, explosions of fuel vapour. While these uncontrolled engine eruptions - sometimes sounding like a gunshot - may see bystanders jump and drivers cringe, backfires could well be a warning of more serious mechanical mayhem ahead.

Why Does My Engine Backfire? | AutoGuru

The worst of wet weather driving is hydroplaning, when a road is awash and tyres cannot get rid of the water to find grip. Contact between tyres and road decreases dramatically and control of the car can become tenuous. Get a quick quote from local tyre experts through AutoGuru.

Hydroplaning How To Avoid It? | AutoGuru

If you are grinding reverse gears it means the gearbox (also known as a transmission) has not fully disengaged from the engine and the gears are still rotating. If you’re unsure of what’s going on, the easiest way to find out is to book in with a mechanic through AutoGuru.

When that does happen, and you are knowledgeable enough to check to see the coolant bottle is empty, the decision then becomes what type of coolant to use to refill the system

Will using the wrong coolant cause engine damage | AutoGuru

A common misconception about mobile phone use in the car is that you can only land yourself in hot water if you, as the driver, are holding or interacting with your phone whilst driving. But this isn’t always the case, at least in some states. Being distracted by a mobile phone, whether you’re using it or someone else, is a fineable offence, and it kinda makes sense.

If you’re looking for a fuel card that offers both control and flexibility, then a Mobil Card could be your answer. Mobil Card has recently gone through a number of upgrades to become a very attractive card for fleet owners and operators. There are over 500 7-Eleven Mobil stations in Australia, which means it should be pretty convenient to find a service station that accepts Mobil Card.
