Winter Special: Preparing your car for winter

·         Your car battery will lose power when the temperature drops in winter. Before you embark on your journey, check that your battery is working and also don’t forget to check the charging system and belts.
·         Check the cars cooling system to make sure it has not frozen, you can use an antifreeze but make sure you use the correct one for your vehicle. Also check for any leaks in the cooling system.
·         Make sure your car demister system is working – this can be severely dangerous if you are driving and your windscreen mists up, especially in winter conditions as it seriously restricts vision to the point where you may have to stop your vehicle.
·         And finally, check your windscreen wiper blades to make sure they are operating correctly. If they are not, purchase new ones, these can be a real life saver in extreme weather conditions.
