<h3>As we approach October it is a good time to get your vehicle ready for the winter and the change in conditions on the roads.</h3>
Here is a checklist of the common items to help you prepare:
&#42; Check your liquid levels, screen wash, anti-freeze, coolant, oil, and fuel &#42; Check your car battery &#42; Clean your windows inside and out &#42; Clean your lights &#42; Check your tyres &#42; Consider fitting winter tyres &#42; Check your wiper blades &#42; Clear leaves from under your bonnet &#42; Ensure your car has a phone charger &#42; Make a winter survival kit
Many car garages and dealers will offer a winter service so it is worth checking locally. In addition, here is a checklist of the items you should keep in your car this winter:
&#42; Ice scraper and de-Icer &#42; Torch and spare batteries &#42; In-car phone charger or a power pack &#42; A road atlas in case you don&rsquo;t have GPS &#42; First Aid kit &#42; Empty fuel can &#42; Hi-vis jacket/warning triangle &#42; Jump leads &#42; Spare clothes
Many insurers now include breakdown cover as standard on your motor insurance policy. Keep this number in your phone and in your vehicle.
