Look under your roller
When was the last time you did a basic visual inspection of your car/truck/ute etc?
It’s a good idea to do it regularly. Why?
Driving to Napier and back today I saw so many vehicles with undercarriages that were dragging detritus. Branches, a tennis racket (at least it looked like what was left of one) and stone guards.
It’s quite easy to lose your stone guard, if you are too low or go too fast over a speed bump, raised curb, pothole or other uneven surface. Not to mention the damage you can donor your exhaust pipe or sump.
And if you catch thick branches they can do damage as well. Let alone a tennis racket.
Give your under carriage a look. See what is there and what’s not supposed to be. Especially in wet and windy weather.
