When should you change your Spark Plugs and Wires?

Okay...this is the 'sixty four thousand dollar' question – When should you change your Spark Plugs and Leads? Quick answer: 'Before it gets too late and costs you a fortune in Garage fees!' But that is not what you want to hear so this is a recommendation only.

There was a time when driving 10.000 miles per year was the accepted fact, but these days the average mileage per year has increased to at least half that again if not double. We have this huge tendency to 'overuse' our cars but this is what society says is the 'norm'. How often do you (and I hope you do or are you feeling guilty already...) check the oil in your car?

Now I know you are feeling guilty...well if you're not I am! You should check the oil at least once a week or maybe bi-weekly and make that a habitual thing to do, just as you would like to keep your car pristine clean! To get back on tract though the changing of your Spark Plugs and Leads some recommend that you at least check them every three months and change them every six months but I suppose that really all depends on how much your car is used. If you have had your car for a while and use it just 'locally' and all of a sudden the urge is there to go and visit Momma in the next State to yours, then before you start this journey...check the oil and water...and hey what about checking the Spark Plugs and Leads then – what a good idea...why didn't I think of that one...'duh!!!' This precaution will certainly prove to be wise and in the end can save you a lot of money if you really need to do it and you ignore it.

Once you have got the Oil; Water and the few tools needed (for checking the Plugs and Leads) all neatly laid out in front of the car you could do all that in let's say about half an hour...unless that is you have that favourite cup of yours filled to the brim with coffee and your neighbour ambles across to ask you what you are doing. You can become the 'bright spark' (then excuse the pun) then and tell him (with your chest all 'puffed' out) that you are doing a service on your car and it is saving you a HUGE amount of money. Who knows you could soon see your whole neighbourhood with their heads under the hood of their 'great' 'fantastic' (run of the mill) car!

Hyundai Motor India luxury Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) 'Santa Fe' has its mega power to rule the roads. It will be available in both petrol and diesel versions with the most demanding cost somewhere around 19-22 lakhs, catering to the segment which adores to possess everything that looks royal.

For as long as cars have been on the road, drivers have been adorning their windshields with lucky amulets designed to provide them with safety on their long journeys. These amulets differ throughout the world, from the evil eyes of Turkey and the Middle East to the slightly stranger rabbit feet often used as a talisman in Europe.

General Motors’ contribution to the outsized SUV stable is the Hummer, a vehicle that has had a relatively short but equally contentious lifetime. Based on the US Army’s Military High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (MMWV or Hum-Vee), the Hummer is the layman’s answer to a tiny tank and its off-road capabilities are more than awe-inspiring.
Now once you have gone as far as you can on bolt on parts, its time to start doubling up...on everything! The great thing about diesels is that they don't have to be as fine tuned as gas vehicles. If you can find a way to dump more fuel into them then it's all a matter of mixing enough oxygen with the fuel.
The fact of the matter is that in the past few years the diesel performance industry has grown by leaps and bounds and what were considered to be extreme diesel performance modifications back then won’t even let you keep up with the big boys nowadays.
An SUV is more than a car; it’s an attitude like the Harley of bikes. Initially it was the demand of only the elite class but now people of other genres are also turning towards them. The reason- luxurious interiors, perfect grip on the Indian roads, ferocious power and of-course the sporty look. Let’s take a sneak peek at the on-road monsters in the Indian market – go play!
Whether it is through luck or fate, lorries just seem to keep finding their way to the centre of the most bizarre news stories and urban myths around the internet.
