I look after my cars and I keep an eye on their condition continually but in reality nowadays there is very little maintenance that can be done anyway.

That’s right. If any fluid levels get low, a light comes up and tells you. The only thing I ever top up is the washer bottle,
then I only use plain water.
I bought some washer additive a couple of years ago, and every time I washed the windscreen, it smelt like cats pee 🙁

The problem with a lot of cars nowadays, you are more dependant on the main dealer if anything goes wrong.
To maintain a warranty the car has to be serviced to manufacturers recommendations. (Although this no longer
has to be done by a main dealer)
Although you pay through the nose at a main dealer, they do have people who know what to look out for, as well
as being kept up to date on recalls etc

The IMA battery on our three year old Civic Hybrid started to go on the blink last year. Thankfully the IMA technology
has an eight year warranty. It cost Honda £1,000 to replace.

Hah! The starting handle! Happy days…..:)

I spent many happy hours using the starting handle on my A40 🙂

Regarding servicing, many just rely on the AA, RAC etc to get them out of trouble when things go wrong.
The garage I go to is pretty reliable, and I rely on them to put things right on my car and van.

I think changing a wheel should be included in the driving test. With obvious exceptions for those unable to.
How would people manage if they were in the middle of nowhere, with no phone signal ?
