Tips For Drivers

Get the car serviced regularly (according to the manufacturer's schedule) to maintain engine efficiency and fuel saving.
Check your oil at least every fortnight and before any long journey. We recommended service intervals and having the oil and filter changed at recommended service intervals and if you find you are using a high oil consumption can indicate engine problems.
Replace wiper blades least once a year as they will wear down over time and smear the windscreen if they become worn. Check and top up regularly - with a good screenwash additive through summer and winter - water alone won't clear oily road grime and freezes more readily in winter..
Check tyre pressures, tyre tread and condition. Know the correct tyre pressures for your car and check them at least every two weeks. Look for cuts on sidewalls. If any one tyre needs regular top-ups, it may have a slow puncture. Don't forget to check the spare as well.
Check the coolant level regularly and top up as necessary ? but only when the engine is cold. Have us check antifreeze concentration before winter. Antifreeze prevents the build-up of corrosion within the cooling system as well as stopping the coolant freezing so is important all year round..
Most problems with cars are fairly common, shared by millions of drivers on any given day. The good thing is that often these common car problems are nothing serious and can, in fact, be a way of giving you enough warning to avoid serious problems in the future.

One of the most common complaints of drivers is the engine making an annoying knocking sound. In most cases, an engine knock is caused by too great a clearance between the components located in the valve train. Unfortunately, a persistent engine knock is one common problem best addressed by a qualified mechanic
That squeaky sound produced by the brakes can cause you to crank up the radio volume to full blast just to drown it out, but don't confuse drowning out squeaky brakes with curing them. The squeal of the brakes is caused by vibration of the pads and the rotors, the pads and the calipers, or the calipers and the mounts--or between the shoes and the drums or the shoes and backing plates. Clearly, squeaking brakes need a mechanic to fix unless you are really good at car maintenance.
When the check engine light comes on and won't go off, it is a sign that your vehicle's computer has detected some problem with the emission system. Determining the exact cause of the emission failure can only be done with a diagnostic scan. However, just because the light stays on it doesn't necessarily mean there is a big expense in your future, because the light can be triggered by any one of a number of minor problems.
