Miller Jambo 60 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Checked my anti-freeze concentration yesterday and topped up the water bottle for the windscreen with straight wash to stop freezing up. Do other Kbs do these checks. Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Good idea to check tyre pressures as well. Colder outside temperature tends to cause the air inside your tyre to 'shrink' - thus losing pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug. I do now ...after forgetting one year which resulted in the water freezing solid , cracking the water pump and leaving me broken down on the motorway.

Colder outside temperature tends to cause the air inside your tyre to 'shrink' - thus losing pressure. thats a good shout. i topped my tyres up yesterday after noticing my mpg had dropped under 40! lost about 50 miles from my tank. stupid garage that had serviced it set the pressures at 30psi and they'd all dropped to 25ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 That's in my plans for today. The cold snap over the weekend has made me remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigaro Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'll pop out and do it now. Was going to do my tyre pressures last night but didnt have 20p for the air machine at Tesco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevmacd Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'll pop out and do it now. Was going to do my tyre pressures last night but didnt have 20p for the air machine at Tesco. 20p is steep but nothing compared to the ?1 for 4 minutes i had to pay at Kinross services, I made sure i unscrewed all the caps before parting with my quid and still did not manage to check all 4 wheels properly. I did briefly consider changing the wheel but figured 10 mins of my time is worth more than a pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Bob Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Worthwhile chucking a travelling rug in the boot. And because of the ammount of miles I can do in a week, there is always a bag with a clean. pair of kex, socks, and a teeshirt in the back of the van.
