do not use the pointed end of a golf tee to place your balls on when driving.

To hide the fact, that the metal is so thin you cannot close it by pressing with flat hands without indenting it!

When you replace your brake lamps or headlamps use long life bulbs. Greatly reduces the chances of getting in the car for an unexpected journey and finding a lamp just blew!

Along the lines of arctics windscreen wipers.
I smear silicon along the door seals when it gets cold so the seals don't freeze the doors shut. Saves those plastic clips on the handle mechanism Adding to the bonnet debate I have never dropped a bonnet on any of my cars. Always have closed and pushed. I always wax my alloy wheels along the lines of the bodywork. That brake dust comes off a lot easier. Oh and SWMBO never knows my plans. It drives her batty

The socket you use to undo wheel nuts with..... wrap masking tape around the outside.
- makes it easier to spot when in your socket set with the others * - avoids the risk of scratching your alloy when in use. - * or always keep a socket (with masking tape on) in the rear ashtray so you always know where it is... I bet none of us let anybody smoke in the back seat anyway! Re the earlier windscreen wiper threads ... I use a couple of clothes pegs on the arms of the wipers to hold the rubber away from the screen. If you do forget them, they "flip" 90 degrees out of the way but stay on the arms. Happy Roving John

On a cold & frosty morning, when you've made your mug of coffee, use the remaining water in the kettle to fill a hot water bottle. Nip out & place the hot water bottle on top of the dashboard / instrument cluster.
By the time you've drunk your coffee & eaten your bacon bap, you'll be pleased to discover that the windscreen is lovely and clear... ...in a teeny tiny rectangle about the half the size of the HWB. |

For frosty windscreens and frozen wipers, I fill a washed 2L milk bottle with warm water, at around 30 - 40C and pour it all over windscreen and front side windows. It isn't hot enough to cause thermal shock, but there is enough heat in 2L to defrost and warm the windscreen sufficiently that you can drive away, and wipe the remaining water off your windscreen. The wiper rubbers are also warmed enough to be flexible, and give a smear free, undistorted view, and the inside of the windscreen does not fog up, especially if you started the engine first, and turned on the boost for the windscreen and the AC. Always ensure wipers are parked and switched off before leaving. Wife has a tendency to just switch off ignition with the wipers mid-sweep. OUCH!
