Although our expert team of manufacturer-trained technicians are always on hand to assist with your vehicle maintenance needs, we also understand that you won’t always want to rely on us for fixing some of the smaller niggles, for this reason we’re pleased to bring you a selection of Ford how-to videos that will ensure you’re able to take the best care of your vehicle for yourself.
On this page you’ll be able to learn a number of helpful tips and tricks that will ensure your car operates at its best for as long as possible. For example we’ll teach how to check and top up the oil in your car, how to check and refill your washer fluid – something essential as the weather heads downhill and more dirt and spray appear on our roads.
As the dark nights draw in, it’s also important to ensure you have the best visibility possible while on the move – for this reason we also have some handy videos that show you easily how to check your lights, but also how to change your front and rear lights if necessary. To further help improve your visibility, we also have a video teaching you how to easily change your wiper blades, although these are commonly overlooked when taking care of your vehicle, they’re an essential part in ensuring you can see clearly at all times.
When it comes to looking after your alloys and tyres, we’ve put together a number of vehicles for you, these include: how to clean your alloys correctly, how to accurately check the thread on your tyres, how to check and change your pressure, and importantly how to use your Ford Tyre Inflation Kit.
Another video you won’t want to miss out on is how you can save fuel while you’re driving, in turn saving you money. What could be better?
