Reversing down steep driveways
Many homes in Mount Gravatt East have sloping driveways that make it hard to see the footpath when reversing out. A reversing camera shows what your mirrors can't, including children and pets. Some cameras show guide lines that bend as you turn the wheel. Mount the camera where it gets a clear view, and seal the cable entry so rain can't get into the boot.

Starting on a hill
A car parked nose-up on a steep driveway can be slower to start, and a weak battery or tired starter shows up first in those conditions. If the engine turns slowly or you hear a click, the problem could be the battery, the cables or the starter motor. Our guide on whether it's the starter motor or the battery helps you work out which.

Rodents in the engine bay
Homes near bushland can see more rats and mice, and an engine bay is a warm, sheltered place for them to nest. They chew wiring insulation, which can cause warning lights, intermittent faults or a car that won't start. Look for droppings, nesting material or chewed wires under the bonnet. Our guide on rodent damage to car wiring explains what to look for and how to prevent it.

Air conditioning that cuts out
If your air conditioning works for a while then cuts out, especially climbing hills on a hot day, the system may be protecting itself from high pressure because the condenser fan isn't keeping up. A faulty fan, relay or temperature sensor is a common electrical cause. These can be repaired by an auto electrician. Any refrigerant work needs a licensed technician.

Mount Gravatt East auto electrical questions
How do I know if rats have damaged my car's wiring?
Common signs are droppings, leaves or nesting material in the engine bay, chewed insulation or plastic, and new warning lights or intermittent faults. Sometimes the car won't start at all. Check under the bonnet regularly if you park near bushland, and get any chewed wiring repaired properly with soldered or crimped joins, not just tape.
Can I fit a reversing camera to my car's existing screen?
Often, yes. Many cars with a factory screen can accept a camera using an adapter made for that model. Others need an aftermarket head unit or a separate display. The camera usually powers up from the reversing light circuit. Check what your car supports before buying a kit.
Local tip for Mount Gravatt East
If you park near bushland in Mount Gravatt East, lift the bonnet once a fortnight and have a quick look around the engine bay. Clear away leaves and any nesting material. Rodents prefer cars that sit undisturbed, so driving regularly and keeping the area around the car tidy both help.
