Mid October
and we can see change in daylight hours, and importantly temperature changes...

Dark, cold and damp evenings and mornings mean you'll be using lights, wipers and heating more often, placing a heavier burden on your battery.

Your battery provides the power for –
heated screens and mirrors
radio
locking and alarm systems
management systems
starting your car
and in some cases power steering.

Changes in temperature are often the cause of battery problems and a battery check just before winter could help you avoid breakdowns. Regular checks help ensure trouble-free starting and helps prolong the life of your engine and catalytic converter.

Also, remember regular tyre checks are important all year round. Wet roads makes checks even more important.

It's also a good idea to get your car serviced sooner, rather than later, if one is due about this time of year.
