Automotive Talk 2 Way

Well as forecast the cold weather did hit us and speaking for a gagage that specialises in buying cars that are non runners, gues what was the most common form or breakdown? Yes it was that cylinder head gasket fault. You know the one, it is where a vehicle owner does not fill up with antifreeze and the changing temperature pushes water in to the cylinders.

As it happens I was looking for a cheap runaround and sure enough within one day there were 3 to choose from, all bought at silly low prices as a non runner and then with £50 worth of parts and half a days work, all three were back on the road again.

The breakdown cover guys are getting calls for the same thing. My car wont start!! “very sorry, it is becuase yuo did not put antifreeze into your car, I can’t fix this, you need to trake to a garage”. Away goes the breakdown cover man shaking his head wondering when many drivers will wake up to such a simple process that can save you a fortune.

Can’t say this many more times, get your antifreeze levels checked.
