Unusual sounds can point to various issues, depending on where and when you hear them. Squealing when braking may indicate worn brake pads. Knocking under the bonnet could be engine trouble, while clunking from the wheels might relate to suspension or steering. Whining from the transmission or groaning when turning could signal fluid issues or worn components. A rattling exhaust or vibrating undercarriage may point to loose or broken parts. It’s important not to ignore new noises, as they often indicate a developing fault. Describing the sound to your mechanic and when it occurs helps with quick and accurate diagnosis.

In most Australian states, a roadworthy certificate (also known as a safety certificate) is required when selling a registered vehicle. This certificate confirms that the vehicle meets minimum safety standards and is safe to drive on public roads. It usually covers checks on tyres, brakes, suspension, steering, windscreen, lights and other key components. Without it, you may not be able to complete the transfer of ownership legally. Requirements may differ slightly between states or territories, so it’s important to check local regulations. Obtaining a roadworthy certificate also gives potential buyers confidence that the vehicle is safe and well maintained.

If your car will not start, it could be due to a flat battery, faulty starter motor, ignition issue or fuel system problem. Begin by checking if any lights or dashboard indicators turn on. If everything is completely dead, the battery may need a jump start. If you hear a clicking noise when turning the key, the starter motor might be the problem. If the engine cranks but does not start, fuel or ignition systems may be to blame. It is best to avoid repeated attempts to start the engine. Call a mechanic to diagnose the issue and arrange any necessary repairs.
