Introduction
There are some very simple checks that will only take a few minutes and will save you from inconvenience and unnecessary expense.
These «Weekly checks» do not require any qualification or special tools, for example:
Visually check the condition and pressure of the tires, this will prevent premature wear and save your life.
Many breakdowns are related to problems in the electrical system. Battery related damage is especially common, a quick regular check will prevent most of it.
If there is a brake fluid leak, the first time you know about it is when your brakes don't work normally. Checking the level regularly will detect problems of this kind.
If the oil or coolant levels are low, the cost of repairing any engine damage will be much greater than, for example, finding and fixing the leak.
