Winter Tips

[Guest Elliot Poston]

HI does anyone have any tips what I should do with the car over the winter? its garaged, should I leave the battery on charge etc?

I am guessing that you are intending to store for the winter rather than drive through the winter.

Battery on a maintenance charger that is designed for this rather than the old trickle charger.

Check that there is anti freeze in the cooling water or drain the cooling system.

Check tyre pressure and add a couple of psi.

Chock wheels and leave hand brake off to prevent sticking.

Lock the clutch in released position to prevent clutch sticking.

 

Thats it for me.

Keep it taxed, insured & road ready for the bright,dry winter's days ahead when the roads are a lot quieter.
