With the cost of living soaring and most people needing to review their unnecessary spending we thought it might be useful to highlight some of the simple things that you can check around and about your vehicle. Some will save you money straight away and some will help prevent bigger bills later.
Spend five minutes carrying out these simple checks every few weeks – and certainly before a long journey or an MOT.

Air Filter
A faulty or clogged-up air filter could reduce your fuel efficiency and lead to reduced engine power, which is why mechanics recommend getting it checked every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Check your vehicle handbook for instructions, but it’s more likely that you will need to bring it in for a mechanic to do that as some are in hard to access places.
