With the UK currently in the middle of a heatwave, what better time than to share some tips on keeping your car (and you) from overheating.
Ensure that the car battery (usually located under the bonnet) is securely attached to avoid the heat and vibrations from damaging it.
Make sure that you check your car fluid levels regularly. A car uses several different fluids to ensure the car works correctly, including transmission, brake fluid and power steering fluid.
Car tyre pressures are very sensitive to heat. If your tyre pressure is not maintained, you could blow a tyre.
If you do have to travel, ensure that you have an emergency kit with you. You could include light cotton clothes during the summer months, a basic first aid kit, a water bottle and any medications you are currently taking.
Before taking any long journey, make sure that your air conditioning is working correctly. You certainly don’t want this to stop working in a heatwave.
