Common auto electrical jobs in Wongawallan
Wongawallan covers nearly 33 square kilometres of mountainous country with about 1,400 residents. Most homes and small farms are along Wongawallan and Tamborine creeks, the hilltops are mostly bush, and Tamborine-Oxenford Road is the main way in and out.
Seeing further on the valley roads
Tamborine-Oxenford Road has bends, unlit stretches and wallabies and kangaroos about at dusk. Bright, well-aimed headlights matter more here than in town. Start with fresh globes and clear lenses, then consider driving lights. In Queensland, driving lights must be wired to come on only with high beam. Run them through a relay with a fuse near the battery, and aim them properly so they light the road, not the treetops. Our guide on changing a headlight globe covers the first step.

Rats and possums in the shed
Rural sheds in Wongawallan often hold a second car, a ute, a trailer or an old 4WD that rarely moves. Those are favourite spots for rats to nest and chew. Damage can stay hidden until the vehicle won't start or a warning light appears. Check under the bonnet of any vehicle that has sat for a few weeks, look for droppings and nesting material, and get chewed wires properly joined and sealed. Our guide on rodent damage to car wiring has more detail.

A second battery for the farm ute
A ute that runs a fridge, a pump, a spotlight or a UHF on the property can easily flatten its own battery while parked in a paddock. A second battery, charged while you drive and isolated when the engine is off, keeps the starting battery safe. Choose the charging method to suit the vehicle: a DC-DC charger for newer utes with smart alternators. Our guide on choosing a DC-DC charger or isolator explains the trade-offs.

Overheating on the climb
The drive up towards Tamborine Mountain in summer, especially towing or carrying a load, works the cooling system hard. Electric radiator fans are controlled by sensors, relays and fuses, and a failure in any of them can make a car overheat on a slow climb while it seems fine on the flat. If the temperature gauge climbs or a warning appears, pull over safely and let it cool. Our guide on what to do when a dashboard warning light comes on can help.

Wongawallan auto electrical questions
Why does my car only overheat going up hills?
On a climb the engine works harder and the car moves slower, so less air goes through the radiator. The electric fan has to do the job, and if the fan, its relay or its temperature switch is failing, the engine heats up. Coolant level, a blocked radiator or a tired thermostat can do the same, so check those too.
How can I keep rats out of a vehicle stored in a shed?
Keep feed, seed and pet food sealed or out of the shed, leave the bonnet up on stored vehicles so the engine bay isn't so cosy, and set traps along the walls. Start and move stored vehicles regularly, and check engine bays and air filter boxes every few weeks for nests.
Are LED headlight globes legal in Queensland?
LED replacement globes for halogen headlights are a grey area, because the headlight assembly was approved with a halogen globe. Some LED globes also scatter light and dazzle oncoming drivers. If you want brighter lights, a quality halogen upgrade globe or properly fitted driving lights is the safer option.
Local tip for Wongawallan
If you've got a vehicle sitting in a Wongawallan shed, put a battery maintainer on it and pop the bonnet once a fortnight. Look for droppings, nesting material and chewed insulation. Ten minutes every couple of weeks catches rodent damage before it turns into a no-start on the day you need the ute.
