IS YOUR CAR READY FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS ROAD TRIP?
For most of us our biggest work break is over Christmas _ New Year. Due to this, at this time of the year we tend to do a bit more driving than usual. Visit your mechanic, you may require a Service or at least get it checked over completely.
CHECK LIST
Check all fluid levels and top up if required.
Check for worn windscreen wipers.
Check battery charging and condition.
Check all light operation.
General tyre check for wear, inflation and alignment. Also check spare tyre.
Check drive belts, plugs, hoses and connections.
Check suspension.
Oil filter and air filter check.
IMPORTANT TIP BEFORE PACKING THE CAR
Check the weight capacity of the vehicle because excessive weight can cause:
Extra strain on the suspension.
Braking can become less effective.
Sidewalls of tyres can bulge, adding to the risk of a blowout.
Steering can become harder.
The heavier the vehicle the more fuel it will consume.
Distribute the weight evenly as possible, then the vehicle will handle much better.
