We tend to think that we don't
really need to know the inside of a car. If it works, drive it. We always
think that this entire mechanical thing should be left for a guy to deal
with (stop laughing and commenting, guys). But we should not think this
way anymore because we do have the ability to learn about cars and we
even don't mind getting dirty, right? So, what are we waiting for? Let's go and explore it. Flat tire --- There are 13 steps to changing a tire, but in order to do this, you must have a spare tire, wheel brace, and jack in your boot. Battery upkeep --- The battery should be 3/4 full, otherwise top up with still water. Pushstart
--- This guide is only for the
manual motor vehicle. If the battery light is on, don't switch the car
off. You should also check whether the fanbelt is still in one piece. Jumpstart
--- You will need another car
whose battery is charged, and a pair of jumper cables, which you can buy
at a supermarket. Broken
fanbelt --- This
will lead to overheating and you should let the engine cool down. A temporary
solution is to replace the fanbelt with a stocking. Towing
--- When all else fails, call
the tow truck or call a friend to help you.
