23.01.2022 So not many of you have known this but it’s finally the right time to post this. The last two years Payton and I have been preparing for this moment and finally... the time has come. It’s something i have always wanted but never knew how soon it was going to happen. We have been truly blessed this last year and finally it is here. We would love to welcome this Supercharger into our household! It is going to be whining a lot but can’t wait for all of the fun! Pic by: South Valley Photography

19.01.2022 HANDY TIP #8 TO WARM-UP, or NOT TO WARM-UP: THAT IS THE QUESTION! There are two main schools of thought when it comes to warming up a vehicle’s engine. For some people, especially when Winter comes around, it means they religiously go out on cold mornings, start up their cars and leave them to warm up while they go back inside to have breakfast and get ready for work - the theory being that they are saving on wear & tear and excessive fuel consumption by only driving their ...car when it is at correct operating temperature. For others, the starter motor has barely disengaged as they head out for the drive to work. So which approach is best practice? ..... Well, neither really. Back in the Olden Days it was commonly recommended to warm up your engine before driving in order to get the oil circulating and for thermal expansion to take up operating clearances, thus reducing engine wear and allowing it to run more quietly, smoothly & efficiently. It must be remembered however that those engines used up a lot of fuel and produced excessive emissions unnecessarily while left to warm up. It should also be kept in mind that engine technology has advanced considerably over the years. The advent of better engineering principles and tolerances, Electronic Fuel Injection, Ignition & Engine Management systems, plus modern cooling systems and Hi-Tec metals, construction materials & lubricants has greatly reduced the time it takes for modern engines to warm up and improved their drivability & efficiency of operation from cold. This means that for most modern vehicles, excepting for allowing a few moments for the engine to stabilise and establish oil pressure & circulation (NEVER rev an engine on start-up!), and provided you don’t thrash or labour it; driving it normally from cold with it warming up as you go is a reasonable thing to do, is unlikely to cause any harm to it, and will save on excessive fuel consumption & emissions. This of course is all premised on the vehicle being appropriately serviced and maintained, and an added bonus might be improved relations with sleepy neighbours. ;-) Happy Motoring, W PS.

14.01.2022 WARNING! - 'Old School' Rev-Head post: Remember back in the day when HQ Holden disc brakes were the go-to items for high performance applications? Well here is a HQ disc compared with the huge standard equipment (350mm dia x 35mm thick) Audi Q7 item. Note also the massive '6 spot' caliper and pad which, all together, pulls the 2 tonne Q7 up on a dime. Very impressive!

13.01.2022 NOTE: None of these kind of measures are used here at D&D Motors, but please come and see us if someone else has employed any of them on your car.

07.01.2022 G'day folks. Please don't fall for this prank circulating atm. ;-)
