The 4 Main Car Essentials That You Need To Invest In

The 4 Main Car Essentials That You Need To Invest In

When it comes to owning a car, the more seasoned experts will know that not everything goes to plan. There will come a point where you will need to repair or replace at least one part, if not a couple before moving on with the vehicle.

Before it gets to the point of replacing, think about upgrading the four main parts on your car that you can afford to dabble with; it could prove to be a money-saver in the long run.

Battery

The general rule is that the more money you spend (without being completely ripped-off), the longer life your battery is going to have. It’s important that you choose the correct battery for your car, but even more important that you know where it’s coming from so you can get assurance with your brand choice.

Good quality batteries will come with a longer warranty to justify the higher price tag, and should come from a dealership that has not only been recommended, but is long-standing enough to have proven itself time and time again. They should be able to pick you a battery that will deal with the climate in which you live (different temperatures can have different effects on battery life) and that will stand the test of time with you.

Tyres

There’s a lot to be said for premium tyre brands. The price often puts prospective buyers off, but there is so much more than just the rubber that you’re investing in. Brands such as Goodyear, Continental and Michelin have all got more benefits to them than you would initially think.

Things like stopping distance, fuel consumption, longevity and noise levels of your car are all affected by tyres, with the premium brands changing this in your favour. For instance, a budget tyre would typically last you 8,000 miles. A premium tyre could last you as long as 20,000. That’s a huge difference, and depending on how much mileage you cover each year, it could be the difference between a couple of months and a couple of years.

Screenwash

Too many people are using either just water, or a combination of water and washing up liquid, to clear their screen. Not only is this not doing much to help you to be able to see clearly, but the washing-up liquid could do more damage to the rest of your car – such as the paintwork – than you would have initially realised.

Spending out money on a big brand screenwash isn’t necessary; simply buy concentrated screenwash if you’re on a budget and dilute as much or as little as you wish.

Oil

More expensive oils on the market for your car contain add-packs, with oxidation prevention, friction reduction, anti-foaming and anti-wear additives mixed in, amongst other things. Although your bog-standard oil will get you from A to B without much problem, it’s not doing enough to protect your car behind the scenes.

All oil has to meet quality regulations, just as tyres do, but it doesn’t mean that there’s not a difference between the budget and quality brands that are being sold.

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 ...
