Be safe this winter with Williams Crawford.

TOP TIPS FOR COLD WINTER MOTORING

Williams Crawford share some of their top tips for motoring in cold & icy conditions. 
 
  • Can’t open the door? Windows freezing to the aperture. Warm water in a poly bag will unfreeze the window, without adding more water to freeze, and less risk of thermal shock breaking your glass.
  • Wiper blades – ensure they are released from your icy screen before operating them.
  • Check washer fluid concentrate, using correct or increasing intensity helps prevent frozen washers and can help dissolve icy windscreens.
  • Check your tyres, Tread and pressure: Tread, you want to have a minimum of 3 mm tread and pay particular notice to the tread on the very inside of the tyre. Maintain pressures to manufacturer spec.
  • Heating: Your car will warm and defrost faster using the recirculation button, however, switching it back to fresh air will reduce internal fogging once you get going.
  • Lights: Keep them clean.
  • Go calmly, give plenty of extra space to the car in front, relax!
  • Call us if you need help. Be safe
