Regular check-upsEnsuring MOTs are up to date, regular services are adhered too and taking heed of the warning lights will mean thatany potential problems will be dealt with quickly. This will help save you money and also stop any problems developinginto something much more serious.2. Drive smoothlyThe smoother you’re driving, the kinder you’re being to your vehicle’s engine and you’ll therefore be helping it run for longer. Jerkyclutch changes will affect the mechanics in the engine, with aggressive pedal use resulting in higher fuel consumption and repair bills.3. Clean regularlyRegular check-upsare essentialA major problem for the exterior of any vehicle is rust. Regular washes will stop dirt corroding the paintwork. It also means that you will regularly view theexterior of the vehicle, meaning that if you do notice any bumps and scrapes, they can be dealt with swiftly.4. FluidsFluids like oil and water keep the mechanics in the vehicle running smoothly and help ensure everything is well lubricated. By keeping these topped up itmeans that any potential problems, such as the engine seizing up, can be avoided. You should check oil, water and coolant levels weekly.5. TyresAn expensive part of the vehicle to replace, if tyres do wear too thin and cause a problem, the whole of the vehicle’s suspension could be broken, and in aworst-case scenario the vehicle could be written off. Tyre tread should be between 2mm and 3mm, and also ensure the pressure of each tyre is correct. Youcan find the right tyre pressures for your vehicle in its manual.6. WeightCarrying around a lot of stuff in the vehicle means you’re putting more pressure on it and it’s having to work harder. Try not to put items which you won’t beusing into the back. Reducing the weights will also have an effect on the vehicle’s economy – which will help your bank account!LeaseVan.co.ukVISIBLE AND SAFE WITH SNICKERSSnickers Workwear says its protective wear range is ‘the better-informed choice’ for men and women workingin hazardous environments and inclement weather.There’s a comprehensive selection of ergonomically-designed base, mid and top-layer clothes, certified asappropriate for different risks at work to ensure what Snickers describes as ‘comfort, health and workforce-wellbeingall day, every day’.The new range also includes waterproof and windproof AllroundWork Hi-Vis Jackets that provide protection in lowlight,high-risk environments.So, whatever the hazard on site, Snickers says the Snickers Workwear Hi-Vis collection and ProtecWork range canprovide a protective wear solution to provide ‘maximum, certified protection’. www.snickersworkwear.co.uk64 T I SEPT/OCT 2020PRACTICAL CONTENT FOR THE GLAZING INSTALLER & HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALIST
