FIVE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR CAR RUNNING AND SAVE MONEY

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE: FIVE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR CAR RUNNING AND SAVE MONEY
1. Washers and wipers
Check your screen wash reservoir every week and top up if necessary. Remember worn wiper blades can scratch your windscreen which can prove a costly way of failing your MOT.
2. Oil levels
Car Parts 4 Less supplies engine oils for all makes and models.
To check, ensure the engine is warm but has been off for about five minutes. The oil should be clean and the colour of dark honey. If it’s sludgy, black or has bits on it, it’s probably time for an oil change. Never let it get too low.
There are many different types of engine oil on the market. Each type of engine oil comes with a different thickness, and viscosity. These oils can also include a wide range of additives. This is because they are designed for different engines.
Viscosity defines the oil’s resistance to flow at different temperatures. Oil additives have different cleaning and anti-corrosion properties. Manufacturers now spend more time and money on developing new engine oils than ever before. There are also many more oils on the market these days. This often leads to confusion among motorists. If you put the wrong oil in your engine, it could lead to a drastic increase in wear and tear over 20,000 miles. With such a range of factors to consider, it’s important to know you’re using the right one. Car Parts 4 Less supplies engine oils for all makes and models.
3. Tyres
Under-inflated tyres will push up your petrol bill, and worn tyres could put lives at risk. Check their pressure once a week (recommended) — the correct psi will be in your owners’ manual — and don’t forget the spare. A tyre tread depth gauge will tell you if you’ve gone below the legal limit of 1.6mm of tread.
4. Battery
Your battery will have two flat covers on the top. Pull each cover off and check to ensure there’s enough water in each cell. If not use distilled water to top up. Also check the connections — the bolts on top attached to crocodile clips. If they’re corroded, take them off and clean them with a wire brush.
5. Electrical System.
Check all external lights and the horn, If a single indicator, stop light or headlight has failed it is likely that a bulb has blown and will need to be replaced. If more than one light has failed, it is likely to be a blown fuse or fault in the circuit.

Roadside Repairs
The following information is intended to help in dealing with common roadside emergencies and breakdowns should they arise.
If your car wont start and the starter motor is not turning:
- If your car is an automatic make sure the selector is in the P or N.
- Open the bonnet and make sure that the battery terminals are clean and tight.
- Switch on the headlights and try to start the engine, if the headlights go dim when your’e trying to to start. This will indicate that the battery is probably flat. Get out of trouble by carrying a Maintenance-free Portable Starting Aid in your vehicle.
Maintenance-free Portable Starting Aid
If your car wont start and the starter motor is turning as normal:
- Is there fuel in the tank, If not replenish.
- Is there moisture on electrical components under the bonnet, if so wipe any dampness or moisture with a dry cloth. Spray a water repellent such as WD 40 or similar, on the ignition and fuel system connectors.

- The Charging system is not working properly, alternator drive belt slack or broken, a wiring fault , the alternator faulty itself.
- The Battery itself is at fault, electrolytes low or battery worn out.

- Use hazard lights if necessary.
- if you have one, use a warning triangle to alert other drivers of your presence.
- Apply the handbrake and engage first or reverse gear (or park on an automatic vehicle.)
- Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the one being removed, a couple of large stones will do this.
- If the ground is soft,use a flat piece of wood to spread the Load.

Towing
When all else fails, you may find yourself having to get a tow home, or you maybe helping somebody else. Long distant recovery should only be done by a garage or breakdown service. For shorter distances, DIY towing using another vehicle is easy enough.
https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-car
Only attach the tow rope to the towing eyes provided within the tool kit for your vehicle, to fit the towing eye remove the circular cover from the front or rear bumper as required. The towing eye screws in anti clockwise as far as it goes using the handle of the wheel brace to turn the towing eye.
Only use a proper tow rope they are not expensive,the vehicle being towed must display an on tow sign on the rear of the towed vehicle where it can be seen.
Always have the ignition in the on position of the vehicle being towed to release the steering lock, this also provides power for the indicators and brake lights to work.
Before being towed release the handbrake, and ensure the vehicle is in neutral gear. For Automatics vehicles if they need to be towed should be in neutral do not exceed 50 mph and limit the distance to no more than 30 miles. A suspended tow is recommended for a vehicle with automatic transmission. If in doubt do not tow the vehicle as transmission damage may occur.
Note that greater than usual pedal pressure will be required to operate the brakes, since the vacuum servo unit is only operational with the engine running. Greater than usual effort will also be required to steer the vehicle.
The driver of the vehicle being towed must keep the tow rope taut to avoid snatching, ensure both drivers know the route that is going to be taken whilst vehicles are on tow before setting off.
Only drive at moderate speeds, keep the distance to be towed to a minimum. Drive smoothly and allow plenty of time for slowing down and stopping at junctions.
