WINTER DRIVING
Points to be Watched Put anti-freeze in the radiator, and if garaging away from home carry a notice, ‘‘Do not drain,” to hang on the radiator when the car is garaged. Use a thinner oil than in the winter mouths, but keep to the brand you know. Pay special attention to topping-up the battery. The liquid will not evaporate so fast as in warm weather, but the battery has a lot more work to do. Always carry spare bulbs for head and side lamps. Fit a fog lamp, if possible—invaluable in emergency. Don’t let a cold engine tick over too slowly. When refilling a radiator with a thermostat in the water system first set the thermostat at ‘‘open.” Otherwise you may create an air lock, followed by expensive noises. If you want to keep your ear in good condition have it washed regularly.
