Maintaining
Your Vehicle
Avoid
hitting your wheels against kerbs, especially when you are
parking. This can cause the tyre to weaken without showing
any damage on the outside. Try to carry spare bulbs for your
vehicle and in Europe it is actually compulsory to carry an
emergency bulb kit. Keep them in your boot and make sure your
manual is there also so that you know how to fit them.
Check
your oil level when the engine is cold. Also check your
spare tyre from time to time because you never know
when you might need it. It’s actually an offence
to carry a spare that's not roadworthy. You should change
your windscreen wiper blades every six months, even
if they haven't been used very often. The rubber tends
to deteriorate over time.
