Your winter checklist
Five things worth checking before the cold sets in.
Preparation is cheaper than repairs. Five things to check before the first cold snap.
- Battery — capacity drops in the cold; have the voltage measured.
- Wiper blades — replace them once the rubber has hardened.
- Coolant — check its freezing point.
- Brake pads — stopping distances are longer in winter as it is.
- Lights — the nights get long; check every bulb.
