PROOF YOUR CAR AGAINST WINTER
Cold weather and shorter hours of daylight mean an additional strain on the battery, which should be tested and put into sound order.
Smooth tyres should be replaced with sound covers that will offer the maximum resistance to skidding on wet and greasy roads.
Braking should be checked, tested and greased.
Windscreen wipers, particularly, should be tested.
Any body defects should be reinforced before severe weather can aggravate the trouble.
With these tasks completed, the car will be well winter-proofed before the bad weather arrives.
