  Freezing weather leads to increase in parts failures 21 Dec 2010 (News)
  As drivers try to start their cars on icy mornings, thermostats also give in to the added pressure, with 277% more breaking in winter than summer, at an average cost of £204.16. Overall, the 50 components identified by Warranty Direct as most likely to cause a breakdown in winter will, on average, add an extra £408.60 to your outgoings in what is already a costly time of year, although some repairs can cost as much as £1,100.

  The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), the Government body which supervises MoT testing in the UK, is set to reveal which cars most often fail the MoT test after a ruling from the information commissioner. Until now the agency has insisted that the information is commercially sensitive and therefore should be kept secret.

  Mobile Battery Booster Only £39 22 Nov 2006 (News)
  It’s often just a battery re-charge that’s needed – not a replacement battery. Even leaving a car parked for a couple of weeks can allow enough draindown from security systems, etc., to flatten the battery. Many motorists buy a new battery, costing £50 to £100, at the first sign, but they may not actually need one.

  A Grand Monday: Peugeot 106 XS 31 Oct 2016 (News)
  Here’s a little peach for this week’s Grand Monday – and a car that’s only going to go up in value as its numbers dwindle further. The Mk1 Peugeot 106 is already a rare beast, despite the model’s proven longevity. Unlike most small car rivals, 106s seemed, for years, to be immune to natural destruction.

  Play the depreciation game and win 7 Aug 2009 (News)
    An older used car will be cheaper still, though. Depreciation doesn’t stop on a car’s first birthday, although the rate at which the car loses value is slower in year two than year one. Go for a three-year-old car and you could pay between a third and a half of the original new price.

  One-in-five drivers leaves oil checks too late 1 Jul 2013 (News)
  Furthermore, when it comes to actually checking oil more than half (51.6%) of drivers let someone else do the job, whether that be a friend, relative or someone at a garage. 60.2% of respondents to the survey said they had their oil changed once a month at most, while 45.7% didn’t know what the recommended oil change interval for their car was. Tim Shallcross, Head of Technical Policy at the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), added: “Oil is the hardest working component in your engine; it makes the moving parts move more easily, keeps the hottest areas cool and absorbs harmful and corrosive exhaust fumes.  A low oil level or missed oil change is the quickest way to wear an engine out, which not only risks hazardous breakdowns, but can also knock hundreds of pounds off the value of your car.” Mobil 1 has produced a simple how-to for checking and topping up your engine oil, reproduced below.
