how often do you check ???????

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

your oil water brake fluids etc

 

i check mine weekly if not more sometimes

 

dont check tyre pressurs that often though maybe monthly or before a really long journey

[bortaf]

Hmmm on me pinto corty i check the oil when the light comes on going round a corner

Brake fluid when the warning light comes on and water when the gauge read in the red

 

i'm a lazy fecker, that's why i drive an old ford, new ones would brake the way i look after em

when i remember usually and before long journeys

[Chris!]

MAYBE 3 TIMES A YEAR

 

MY TYRES LOOK ALRIGHT, THE ONLY TIME I CHECK IS WHEN IM PUTTING AIR IN

AND ALSO MY OIL LIHT COMES ON WHEN I FLOOR THE CORTINA OF THE LIGHTS.....IS MY OIL LOW???

I asked my Dad to check my car as my engine was really rattling. He asked me when I last checked my oil and I replied "never". The oil in my car was even touching the dip stick. God knows how long i had been running it without oil but at least its had an oil change. My excuse was that the warning light didn't go on

 

Once the escort is on the road then i will religiously check her.

I checked the oil in my Scorpio once and I almost asked the girl who was with me to go to the boot and get the longer dipstick I only seem to check the cars that I like. Check the Capri and the 4x4 once weekly and everything else when it's rattling

[Chris!]

i just checked my mk4 corty.....its empty

 

wondered why it rattled and the oil light cam eon hehe

[Smudger105e]

When the oil light comes on when braking or going round corners Never need to do an oil change, just let the leakage replacement do the job!

[Chris!]

ive just had to put 3.5 litres in my 1300 mk4 opps it was completly empty

glad you asked now mate

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

[Chris!]

[deltamal]

On the Tina, each time I use it, on the daily driver, how does the bonnet open???

[Mr Sam]

well i can tell my oil needs a top up as the car just will not go past 85

 

and one of my cylinders leaks so need to top it up every month or so

 

and if the car stays too hot in traffic with the fan on the rad needs topping up

[jimbo]

Every week, and before each big journey. I can't afford for it to break down.......

[Mick The Mig]

Don't bother with oil, just get a longer dipstick

[Slik 50]

On average every week.

But I do about 550 miles a week so I like to know whats going on
