5 Tips on How to Get the Most out of Your Car

Your car is undoubtedly one of your most loved and prized possessions. If that is so, it means that you have heavily invested in it, both financially and emotionally. A car is more than wheels and a means of transport, it signifies freedom, independence and personality. For this reason, you should keep it in a tip top shape.

With the help of ULEZ Exempt Trade Price Cars, we have come up with an easy-to-follow insight on how you can make your car serve you for many years with minimal running costs.

You should;

Regularly Check Your Tires

They are undoubtedly the most crucial safety features in a car, and regularly checking them could save your life.

If your tire is under-inflated, your fuel consumption will increase. Therefore, keep them in tip top shape to save you money.

You should rotate your tires and use least worn-out tires on the car’s back axle.

Regularly Maintain the Battery

If your car battery is not used for extended periods, it will deteriorate and get spoilt. To avoid this, use a trickle charger, especially if you plan on parking your car in the garage for more extended periods. If your battery appears to be holding less charge than expected, a battery conditioner will come in handy.

Sometimes your battery may go flat and jumpstarting your car becomes an inevitable option. However, jumpstarting causes extra strain on the car’s battery. The additional stress could damage other important car electronics and the engine management system.

If you do not prefer using a trickle charger, then drive your car a few hours a week, especially during winter.

Regularly Use the Air Conditioning

If you do not use your air conditioning, you will lose it as it will leak the refrigerant gases with time.

Although not using your car’s air conditioner saves you fuel, it has higher repercussions-you may end up spending more on air conditioning re-gassing

Regularly Change Filters

Over time, the car’s air and oil filter become clogged, and you must regularly renew them. During car servicing, let the mechanic help you replace them; however, replacing air filters is easy, and you can do it alone if you want to save on costs.

When replacing these air filters, ensure that you go for the right quality to avoid damaging your car engine.

If you do not want to immediately replace the air filter, you should wash it as washing prolongs its life. However, before doing so, read your handbook on filter changes and cleaning to help you follow the right procedure.

Regularly Refill Fluids

Your car highly depends on fluids, and failing to top them up brings terrible consequences. Once every fortnight, open the bonnet, check the engine oil and remove its dipsticks. Proceed to wipe it with a rag then give it a dip.

If your car’s oil is dirty and black, you should replace it. However, if your vehicle runs on diesel, dark and dirty oil is expected as its combustion process accumulates soot; therefore, you should not replace it.

During your fortnight checkups, you should not forget about the coolant reservoir. Top it up with 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water.

In conclusion, a car is an investment and an asset. Therefore, follow the tips mentioned above to maintain your asset and safeguard your investment.

All-new Jaguar F-Type Coupe & R



5-liter supercharged V8 engine and will reach 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (electronically limited)2. The F-TYPE S Coupe and F-TYPE Coupe are powered by 3-liter supercharged V6 engines in 380hp and 340hp forms respectively, giving 0-60 mph in 4.8/5.1 seconds and top speeds of 171/161 mph2.

The F-TYPE Coupe visual message is defined by three key ‘heart lines’, that visual message beginning with the formidable grille. It is from the twin ‘shark gill’ openings that sit either side of the grille that the essential first heart line – which mirrors the design of the F-TYPE Convertible – flows and begins to take shape. Running up through the headlamp, and accentuated by the LED ‘J blade’ signature running lamps, the line then arcs up over the front wheel arch before dropping elegantly as it runs through the door, washing out into the muscular rear haunch.

The second heart line begins at the rear edge of the door, swelling outwards and upwards to create a visually strong wheel arch, emphasizing the car’s rear-wheel drive layout, before dropping vertically through the tail lamp ...
