🔥 Training Recovery + Brain Training = Double Win 🔥

Recovery time doesn’t have to mean downtime.

Today, I’m in the sauna working on my physical recovery while watching mechanic mindset training videos on my iPad. 💪🧠

The heat is helping my body recover, while the training is helping me sharpen my skills, mindset, and knowledge. In this industry, standing still means falling behind, so I’m always looking for ways to keep improving—even when I’m recovering.

Every minute is an opportunity to get better.

🚗 Recovering the body.
🧠 Training the brain.
📚 Building knowledge.

Three wins from one session.

The best investment you can make is in yourself, and sometimes the smartest move is finding ways to make your recovery time productive too.

👉 How do you kill two birds with one stone?

🚙 80 Series LandCruiser – Chasing Down a Mystery Front-End Noise

Not every noise is as simple as it first appears.

This classic 80 Series LandCruiser came into the workshop with a strange noise coming from the front end. Our initial inspection found a brake caliper issue, with the brake pad and anti-rattle clip having come apart. After repairing that fault, the noise was still there.

Digging deeper into the vehicle’s history, we found previous repairs had been carried out on the swivel hub and stub axle. With the front end stripped down for a thorough inspection, we discovered the real culprit – the brass bush inside the spindle was badly worn and had broken apart, causing ongoing issues.

To ensure a reliable long-term repair, we replaced the CV shaft and fitted a complete swivel hub rebuild kit, restoring everything back to proper working order.

🔧 Sometimes the first fault isn’t the only fault. Taking the time to investigate thoroughly means we can identify the root cause and fix it properly the first time.

If your 4WD is making unusual noises, don’t ignore them. Early diagnosis can prevent more extensive damage and keep you safely on the road and off it.

⚠️ When Spark Plugs Go Bad… They Don’t Go Alone ⚠️

These plugs didn’t just wear out—they took the coil packs with them.

🔧 What happened?
Worn, carbon-loaded spark plugs force the ignition coils to work overtime just to fire. Over time, that extra strain leads to overheating… and eventually coil pack failure.

🚗 Why this matters:
What could’ve been a simple maintenance job can quickly turn into a bigger repair if left too long. It’s a chain reaction we see all too often.

💡 The takeaway:
Staying on top of your spark plug intervals doesn’t just keep your engine running smoothly—it protects other critical components too.

✅ Smooth ignition
✅ Better fuel efficiency
✅ Longer life for your coil packs

At Pure Automotive, we look at the bigger picture—making sure small issues don’t turn into costly ones.

Today, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and spirit of all those who have served—past and present. 🌺

On this ANZAC Day, we remember not only the brave men and women who stood for our country, but also the loyal animals who served beside them. Their strength, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🌺

At Pure Automotive, we’re proud to stand with our community in recognising the values of resilience, mateship, and respect that define this day.

Lest we forget. 🌺

We’ve all got that one “modified” tool in the toolbox… 😅

This trusty multimeter’s had a few upgrades over the years—some would say… creative improvements.

🚗 Not All “Services” Are Created Equal…

Purpose: Highlight the risks of improper servicing and the value of professional workmanship.

Key Message:
This vehicle came in for a routine service—but what we found tells a story we see all too often 👇

🔍 Cabin filter? Completely clogged and overdue (have a look at that difference 👀)

🔧 Oil leak diagnosis:
- Oil was travelling through the V of the engine and down the front
- At first glance, it looked like a crank seal issue (which had previously been replaced)
- But after a proper inspection, we found the real cause 👇
➡️ The oil filter housing O-ring had been installed incorrectly

This led to oil leaking and spreading across the engine, making the problem look much worse than it actually was.

We corrected the issue, cleaned everything down, and made sure it was sealed up properly ✅

Best Practices:
Servicing your car properly means:
✔️ Installing components correctly the first time
✔️ Understanding how systems interact (not just swapping parts)
✔️ Taking the time to inspect, not just replace

Common Challenges:
DIY or rushed servicing can lead to:
❌ Misdiagnosed faults
❌ Oil leaks and contamination
❌ Bigger repair bills down the track

Tone & Personalisation:
At Pure Automotive, we’re all about doing the job right—not just ticking a box. Your car gets the attention to detail it deserves, every time.

🚗 One of the Wildest Failures We’ve Ever Seen…

A 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe came into the workshop with an engine light on and some seriously harsh shifting.

First impression?
Something wasn’t right. On the test drive, every gear change felt aggressive—and even selecting a gear was rough.

So we dug deeper.

What we discovered was next level.

The battery had leaked acid… and the damage didn’t just stay put. Over time, that corrosion spread and literally ate through the transmission cover, making its way into the gearbox valve body.

Yep—battery acid caused internal transmission failure.

Safe to say, this is NOT something we see every day.

The outcome?
Unfortunately, the damage was too severe—the transmission had to be condemned.

Why this matters:
This is a perfect example of how something that seems unrelated can turn into a major issue. Battery leaks are rare—but when they happen, the damage can go much further than expected.

It’s exactly why thorough inspections matter. Catching something early can be the difference between a minor fix and a major repair.

At Pure Automotive, we don’t just look at the obvious—we track down the real cause so nothing gets missed.
