Styling enhancements include a unique front grille that boasts a black honeycomb pattern.

Caring For Your Ford Ranger after the Adventure Ends

Caring For Your Ford Ranger after the Adventure Ends

As the sun sets on another idyllic long weekend holiday, the reality of returning to the hustle and bustle of daily life is on the horizon. The quick getaways spent basking in the warmth of the South African sun make for interesting memories. But with that said, responsibilities are calling, and it’s back to work and lengthy to-do lists for many of us. 

It’s understandable why so many put their freshly bought pre-owned Ford Ranger for sale or another on the back burner. Whether it's navigating the rugged terrain of the bush or driving down to our breathtaking beaches, giving our vehicles the attention they deserve ensures they'll continue to run well for years to come.

Below are our top 3 tips for after-holiday car care:

 

  • Do a Tyre Check

 

Despite the heavy lifting that our tyres do for us daily, we often forget about them after a long trip away from home. The first step is ensuring your car is well aligned on the road and not leaning too much to one side. 

Secondly, give your tread wear a once-over for any damage that can affect the tyre pressure and balancing of your vehicle.

 

  • Conduct a Light Inspection

 

We rarely think about our lights, but they play a vital role in keeping us safe on our roads. Ensure that your headlights, hazards, and brake lights are working as they should with a simple check at home. Low-light, dimming, or faulty bulbs should be replaced promptly.

 

  • Prioritise Emergency Gear 

 

If you had car trouble on your last trip, it’s time to replenish your emergency gear and equipment. Your spare tyre needs to be in optimal condition as a backup for emergency blowouts or flats. 

Also, make sure that your warning triangle is ready to be used as needed, your first aid kit is fully stocked, and your torches are working.

Taking advantage of the public holidays this April and turning them into long, glorious weekends is a South African rite of passage at this point. Caring for your vehicle will always be important to keep you and other road users safe. Whether it’s a quick getaway, a long road trip, or your daily work commute, proactive action and regular maintenance will ensure you get the most out of your car for years to come.

Stay adventure-ready with our collection of high-end Ford Rangers for sale. Take charge of essential maintenance and a reliable vehicle you can trust with Motus Select.

Keep Your Kia Rio's Battery Running All Year Long

Keep Your Kia Rio's Battery Running All Year Long

With summer slipping away, it’s time to prepare for our cooler months here in South Africa. Reliable cars are one way to go, and upgrading to a Kia Rio for sale is a fine example. The Rio comes equipped with impressive fuel efficiency, reasonable performance and a pocket-friendly price. 

Another way to prepare for the chillier weeks ahead is to prioritise vehicle maintenance, specifically focusing on your battery’s health. This becomes even more important in autumn and winter to ensure a smooth, hassle-free drive all year long. A proactive approach and extra care can maintain its longevity and performance for years. 

Regularly Check For Corrosion 

Despite cold days often feeling dryer than summer months in SA, condensation can still happen. Corrosion can affect your battery’s terminals, impacting the success of a connection between cells and cables. Essentially, your battery will work twice as hard and still struggle to transfer energy to the engine. 

Frequently Start Your Vehicle 

We tend to go out less during the winter. Human nature aside, this can hurt the health of our car batteries. That’s why it’s best practice to start your car and drive around every few days to keep your battery running. Parking in protected areas is also helpful. Think of spots such as a garage or carport, which will shield your car from freezing temperatures. 

Avoiding Battery Drainage

Once it gets darker and colder outside, our first instinct is to get indoors quickly. But before you rush to the warmth of your home, make sure that your car is turned off. Headlights, cabin lights, the radio and even the air conditioner can all be easily missed and will drain your battery.

This quick guide can help you maintain your battery, no matter the season. Cooler days lead to more sluggish batteries, but taking preemptive steps and having your car inspected by a professional mechanic every few months will keep emergency replacement bills at bay.

Prolong your battery’s life and say goodbye to unexpected breakdowns when you choose from our range of high-quality Kia Rios for sale.

Compact Comfort: The Audi A3 

The Audi A3 is a city-slick hatchback with refined engineering in compact form. It is the ideal car for drivers weaving in and out of traffic and across busy intersections. Premier exterior lines accompany an equally luxurious interior, with several Sportback options that vary between its urban and black editions. 

The latest base models include a 1.4L 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with an 8-speed automated transmission gearbox. This FWD (Front-Wheel Drive) hatch consumes approximately 6.2 litres per 100 km of fuel. The A3 continues to exude compact luxury with its interior and exterior features on select models.

Additionally, features such as the exit warning, the driver-oriented display, and the driving mode selector (dynamic, comfort, auto, individual, and efficiency) make for a compelling consideration.
