Before you hit the open road, taking the time to prepare your vehicle is vital for ensuring a seamless and enjoyable journey. Start by compiling a checklist of essential car checks to carry out, allowing you to address any potential issues beforehand. These checks can range from assessing tyre condition to verifying fluid levels, as even small details can significantly impact your trip. Things to check Tyres: Start by inspecting your tyres for any signs of wear and tear. Check the tread depth to ensure it meets legal requirements and look out for any cuts or bulges. It's also essential to verify the tyre pressure. Properly inflated tyres not only enhance fuel efficiency but also improve handling and safety. Fluids: Regularly checking your car’s fluids can prevent many common issues. Top up the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid if necessary. Don’t forget to check the windscreen washer fluid as well, as a clear view is vital for safe driving. Battery: A reliable battery is critical, especially on longer journeys. Examine the battery terminals for any signs of corrosion and ensure the connections are secure. If your battery is older, it might be wise to have it tested to ensure it has enough life left to support your trip. Lights and signals: Before hitting the road, test all exterior lights, including headlights, brake lights, indicators, and hazard lights. Properly functioning lights are essential for your safety and that of other road users. Wipers and Windscreen: Visibility is key, so make sure your windscreen wipers are in good condition. Replace them if they leave streaks or are cracked. Clean the windscreen inside and out to ensure a clear view, and check for any chips or cracks that might worsen during your trip. By attending to these checks, you’ll minimise the risk of encountering issues that could have been easily avoided. If you’re uncertain about any aspect of your car’s condition, it’s always wise to seek professional assistance.

When it comes to maintaining your vehicle's health, the cooling system plays an indispensable role. But what exactly is this system, and why is it so important? Let’s delve into the intricacies of this vital component and discover how MJ Mechanical-Rokeby, the leading experts in Rokeby, can keep your vehicle in top shape. Understanding Your Vehicle's Cooling System The cooling system in your vehicle is like its unsung hero, quietly working to ensure everything runs smoothly. Comprised of several key components—including the radiator, water pump, thermostat, and coolant—the cooling system regulates your engine's temperature.  As your engine runs, it generates a significant amount of heat. The cooling system dissipates this heat, preventing overheating and ensuring optimal performance. The Importance of Regular Cooling System Checks Just like any part of your car, the cooling system needs regular attention to function effectively. Our professional mechanics have the expertise to spot issues that may not be apparent to the untrained eye. Regular checks are crucial for identifying potential problems before they become costly repairs. Our technicians will examine the coolant level, check for leaks, and ensure all components are functioning correctly. Warning Signs of a Cooling System in Trouble How do you know if your cooling system might be in trouble? Keep an eye out for these warning signs: Overheating Engine: If your temperature gauge consistently reads high, it’s time to investigate. Coolant Leaks: Puddles under your vehicle or a consistently low coolant level are red flags. Steam or Smoke: Seeing steam or smoke coming from under the hood is a sign you shouldn’t ignore. Unusual Engine Noises: Strange noises, especially when the engine is running hot, can indicate cooling system issues. Sweet Smell: A sweet smell inside or outside the car might mean a coolant leak. Why Choose MJ Mechanical-Rokeby? With years of experience and a commitment to quality, we have become the go-to choice for all things related to cooling systems. Our team of seasoned professionals is dedicated to ensuring your vehicle's cooling system is in perfect working order. You can expect a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet your cooling system needs: Cooling System Inspections: Thorough checks to identify any potential issues.

This ensures that wherever you are in the country, you’re covered, providing an extra layer of trust and reliability for all your vehicle's services. In the realm of vehicle maintenance, the cooling system might not always be the star of the show, but it is undoubtedly a vital player. By ensuring your cooling system is in perfect condition, you can enhance your vehicle's performance and longevity. Trust the experts at MJ Mechanical-Rokeby to keep your engine cool and your journeys smooth. Visit our Rokeby workshop today and experience the difference of quality service.

Keep You Car Cool: The Essential Role of Cooling Systems

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. MJ Mechanical-Rokeby in Rokeby are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At MJ Mechanical-Rokeby in Rokeby at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!
