Driving in summer 🌞
Extreme heat can be just as tough on your car as extreme cold and you need to prepare your car to cope with a long hot summer just as you would a long cold winter.
Make sure you have enough coolant
A car's engine can overheat in hot weather as it struggles to keep itself cool while stopped at the lights in the blazing sun. Coolant is your car's main defence against this. Make sure you have enough as it can deplete quite quickly, and have it completely flushed and refilled every couple of years (or as per manufacturers recommendations) to ensure maximum efficiency.
Protect your car from the sun
Excessive sunshine can damage your paintwork causing premature fading and can even destroy your car's interior over prolonged periods of time – leather seats are especially susceptible to fading and cracking in extreme heat. Protect it by always parking out of direct sunlight or in a covered area, buying a sunshade or even tinting your windows, and always keep your car clean (a dirty car absorbs more heat).
Be prepared for long journeys
Summer means long road trips for many motorists and the last thing you need is a motoring disaster to spoil your summer holidays. Be sure to carry out a thorough check of fluid levels (oil, brake fluid, water), lights and tyre pressure before you leave. Always carry basic brake-down essentials and a first-aid kit in case of emergency. It's a good idea to keep a map or atlas in the car too as Sat-Navs have been known to lose signal on some country roads. Check the legislation if you are travelling around to ensure you comply with the rules of the country you are visiting – ie head lamp dip – carrying a spare bulb pack 💡etc....
