but the standard stays the same.

sure everything keeps moving the way it
should.

The alignment check that saves your tyres

New tyres won’t last with bad alignment.

Here’s what to notice:

Pulling left or right – steering won’t stay straight
Uneven tyre wear – inside edge wearing faster
Steering off-centre – wheel not straight when driving

2-MINUTE ALIGNMENT CHECK:
• Drive on a flat road and lightly loosen grip on steering wheel
• See if vehicle drifts left or right
• Check inside edge of front tyres for uneven wear
• If steering wheel sits off-centre, get it checked

The coolant check without getting burnt

Overheating destroys engines fast.

Here’s what to watch for:

Temp gauge rising – creeping above normal range
Low coolant – reservoir below minimum mark
Sweet smell – coolant leak warning

2-MINUTE COOLANT CHECK:
• Check coolant level when engine is cold
• Inspect for leaks around hoses and radiator
• Watch temperature gauge while driving
• Never remove radiator cap when hot
I repeat - Do Not Remove Radiator Cap When Hot

The oil check that could save your engine

Engines don’t die from age. They die from neglect.

Here’s what to look for:

Dark oil – thick, dirty oil loses protection
Low level – not enough oil causes internal wear
Burning smell – overheating or oil breakdown

2-MINUTE OIL CHECK:
• Check oil level on dipstick when engine is cool
• Wipe, reinsert, and check colour and level
• Look for very dark or gritty oil & burning smell
• Stick to regular service intervals

The headlight check to keep You Safe

You can’t brake for what you can’t see.

Here’s what to look for:

Cloudy lenses – yellowing reduces light output
Dim beam – headlights don’t project clearly down the road
Uneven brightness – one side weaker than the other

2-MINUTE HEADLIGHT CHECK:
• Turn headlights on and check brightness against a wall
• Look for yellowing or haze on the lens
• Check both sides are equal brightness
• Replace bulbs in pairs for balanced lighting
