21.01.2022 Top Australian Mad Cars, toda we look at the Iconic Ford Falcon Manufactured by Ford Australia from 1960 to 2016, this full-sized car is of the best-selling Australian-made cars. It has made over 3,000,000 sales in seven generations to 2003 in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Each Falcon and range of derivates from the XA series of 1972 onward were designed, developed, and build in Australia. The XK to XY series, in particular, was re-engineered from the Americ...an-influenced Falcon of 1960 to 1971 to endure the harsher Australian environment and weather conditions. The Ford Falcon XY is particularly venerated because of its performance, build quality, and refinement, which was superior to competitors at the time. The Ford Falcon XY GT, a sports sedan based on the Ford Falcon XY, is of great historical significance for Aussie racers because it put the country on the map after winning the 1971 Bathurst endurance race and becoming the fastest four-door car in the world in the 1970s.

16.01.2022 Techie Tuesday Today we take a look at the CarWink Car Communication Device. Say exactly what youre thinking to other drivers when you have the CarWink Car Communication Device. Attaching to the back windshield of your vehicle, this electronic device can display a variety of messages to your fellow drivers. Of course, it can handle tons of cute messages such as emoji. However, it can also relay important information such as pedestrian crossing and accident ahead. This technology is revolutionary in that it allows you to communicate like never before. All of this is possible without requiring other vehicles to have the technology. The bright LED lights work perfectly at night as well as during a bright day. Finally, the CarWink has a range of 30 feet so you can notify more than just the driver behind you.

14.01.2022 The best Australian Built Cars: Today we take a look at the 1972 LJ Torana GTR XU-1 The LJ Torana GTR XU-1 was built for racing and proved that when it won in Bathurst in 1972, with a six-cylinder 3300 engine, 200 bhp and M20 four-speed transmission. Makers sought to give it more power by creating a version with a 308 ci engine but it did not go past the prototype stage due to the supercar scare that put much pressure on Australian carmakers to abandon their specially built Bathurst Supercars. Holden managed to release its improved version after two years, and contrary to popular belief, it is not a GTR XU-2, its still the same car with few upgrades.

11.01.2022 Putrid Parts presents the noisy wheel bearing!! We had a Ford Ranger come in last week with a noise coming from a wheel. Upon inspection and removal of the bearing we found that some of the bearings became dislodged! A wheel bearing is a set of steel balls held together in a metal ring, called a race. At the center of your wheels, there is a hollow piece of metal, called a hub. The wheel bearings fit tightly inside this hub, and ride on a metal axle shaft, helping reduce... friction when the wheel spins. Signs that your wheel bearings could be bad includes a grinding or grating noise coming from the wheel, steering becomes less responsive, vehicle can be pulling and uneven tyre wear.

07.01.2022 Gregs Joke of the Week One day a blonde comes up to a mans door and asks him if he has any odd jobs. The man says Ill give you $50 to paint the porch out back. The blonde goes to work and after 30 minutes, she comes back, and tells the man she is done. Wow, that was fast, the man says. The blonde replies, yes, I know, but that wasnt a porch. It was a Ferrari.

06.01.2022 Gregs joke of the week A blonde takes a job at a technology start-up as an administrative assistant. The pay isnt the best, but her compensation package includes stock options, and when the company goes public she finds herself with a lot of money on her hands. She decides to buy herself a new car. As she passes an exotic car dealership, she looks through the showroom window and sees a perfectly restored 1962 Jaguar E-type. She walks in and tells a salesman she abso...lutely MUST have the E-type, and that she can pay cash for it. A couple hours later, she drives away, the proud owner of the Jaguar. After driving for a few kms, though, the Jag begins misfiring. Eventually the engine sputters to a stop and she coasts to the side of the road, raises the bonnet, and waits for someone to help her. A man in a ute sees her and pulls over behind her car. Thats a beautiful car you have there, he says. Oh, thank you. I just bought it today, the blonde replies. So, whats the matter? the guy asks. I dont know, says the blonde. I was just driving along and it died on me. The guy walks back to his truck and gets a small toolbox. He spends a few minutes fiddling under the Jaguars hood, then says to the blonde, Why dont you try to start it now? The blonde turns the key. The Jaguars engine fires up almost immediately and settles into a perfectly smooth idle. Thank you so much! she says to the man. What do I owe you for this? You dont owe me anything he says. It was nothing, really. Just crap in the carburetors. Oh, says the blonde, with a puzzled look on her face. How often will I have to do that?

05.01.2022 Putrid Parts for this week is the leaking hydraulic timing belt tensioner The oil has leaked out from the piston which can cause the timing belt to become loose and then fail. The hydraulic system is mainly used on applications with high loads and/or angular vibrations, where a mechanical automatic tensioner cannot provide sufficient damping or tensioner movement.... A hydraulic tensioner system consists of a hydraulic actuator (which controls the dynamic belt forces) in combination with a tensioner pulley.
