Your Ultimate Full Car Service & Maintenance Checklist

To ensure that your car remains in good working condition for a prolonged time, it’s vital that your service and maintenance game is on point. Car is a machine and regular service and maintenance are crucial to make sure that its parts are in a good working condition. Full car service Coventry and maintenance can take a little bit of your time and efforts on a regular basis but everything makes sense to get rid of bigger issues that can take a lot of your time and energy.

Therefore, there are not one but many reasons why you should be taking care of your car service and maintenance to the best of your capability and scope. 

To help you with the same, we have curated a full car service & maintenance checklist. Go through the same and make sure you are all set from your end. Wait till the end because we have bonus tips too for you. 

Short Term and Long Term Car Service Check Ups

For maintaining a vehicle properly, there are both short term and long term check ups that must be taken care of:

Short Term Check-Ups

1. Oil & Coolant Levels: It should be done in like a month or every time you are planning a long trip. If it's not checked at the right time at regular intervals, it could lead to engine issues. 

2. Air Filter: Air Filters are used on a very regular basis that makes it vital to be checked on a regular basis too. Air filters in a proper condition could mean a good fuel efficiency. 

3. Tyre Pressure: Make it a practice to visually inspect your tyres on a regular basis because well-maintained tyres are essential to a safe and fuel-efficient trip. Every month and before lengthy travels or heavy loads, check the tyre pressure of your car.  Remember to bring the spare. 

4. Lights: Every month, it’s the right time to check all the lights of your vehicle and see if they are in a good position and working the right way. Many tend to overlook this as an easy part but that should not be the case. 

5. Oil & Filters: Your car's engine's motor oil performs a variety of tasks, including cooling the engine, preventing corrosion, lubricating the moving parts, and acting as a sealant against debris. For the engine to remain healthy, cleanliness is essential. Do it on a regular basis and in short intervals. 

6. Tyre Rotation: Tyre rotations means increasing the healthy life of your tyre. It’s a must that you do this on a regular basis to control bad wear and tear. 

7. Wax Vehicle: Try and wax your vehicle every six months after the wash to retain the outer shine of the vehicle. 

Long Term Check-Ups

1. Transmission Fluid: This fluid makes sure that all internal parts of the car works smoothly. For major damage, this fluid should be checked and replaced as per the user manual. 

2. Transfer Case Fluid: Power is transferred from the gearbox to the axles in vehicles with four or all wheels drive with the help of gearbox case. As per the car manufacturer's guidelines, you must have the transfer case fluid checked.

3. Inspect for Shocks: This check should be done by a professional after every 50,000 miles. 

4. Coolant Fluid Exchange: This should be done as per the manufacturer recommendation. It’s essential to be done because it flushes out junk. 

5. Spark Plugs: The faulty sparks can cause big trouble. Always get a professional on board to get it checked and fixed. 

6. Serpentine Belt: The serpentine belt on your automobile is a basic piece of rubber, but it powers peripherals like your air conditioner compressor, power steering pump, and alternator, which helps keep your car running. 

Bonus Seasonal Checkups

After short and long term checkups, there are some seasonal checkup checklists too. Have a look at them too: 

Change tyres are per the season. During extreme winters, try and switch to winter tyres for safety. For summers, you can have summer tyres. 

The performance of the battery is impacted by extreme temperatures. So routine battery testing will guarantee that it will function when you need it to. When the season changes, take care of that. 

Windshield wipers should also be replaced when the season and weather changes. For winters, you can use winter wiper blades. 

With these short term, long term, and bonus seasonal checkups, you can be rest assured that your car is in a good working condition. It also helps you in the long run from saving money on major maintenance to MOT in Coventry. So, be ready!

The world's first Drone Superhighway is due to open over the UK in summer 2024, allowing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to make high speed deliveries between Coventry, Milton Keynes and Reading.

Project Skyway has been developed by a consortium led by Altitude Angel with investment from BT. The UK government gave the go ahead for the scheme in 2022.

The 165 mile drone superhighway will be controlled by 30 "Arrow Towers" which will monitor the UAVs and prevent them from colliding with each other, or other objects without the need for a ground-based human pilot.

Concerns have been raised about safety, noise and invasion of privacy by those living under the flightpath. Safety: My company has been assisting with this. While technical failures can never be ruled out, we are confident that risks posed by bird-strikes, unauthorised UAVs, and attempts to block/hack the control systems has been minimised. Full details have been sent to the Civil Aviation Authority, who are expected to grant approval in the next few weeks. Noise: Flying at a height of 400 feet, the fixed-wing UAV's will be almost silent and should not cause any annoyance to those below. Privacy: It is possible that the first UAVs may have cameras attached but, this is for safety-related reasons... not for taking photographs of you in your back garden!

During the initial trial period there will only be around ten UAV flights a day.

Proposed use and possible future developments. Once UAVs can safely fly alongside other airspace users they can more efficiently be used for: emergency services response, search and rescue, transporting medical supplies and organs, and conducting land surveys.

It is expected that the drone superhighway will be extended to Southampton and the Isle of Wight... but this is currently on hold while suitable sites for the "Arrow Towers" are found.

Future use could include goods deliveries, and flying cars/taxis... which I used to see on television 50+ years ago!

Entry 4 -  Challenges you faced (the nature of the work, working hours, organisation, motivation, tabling of ideas).

The biggest challenge I faced by the length of the Flemington straight was the unreliability of the Adobe Premiere Pro Software due to the slow and crowded servers at SEN. Specific clips such as ones recorded in the Melbourne studios would be quick to edit and upload as export times would only take a minute or two and footage would be clear to skim through to cut the correct timecodes. However, for the likes of clips to be produced from the Adelaide, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane studios not only would export times have me twiddling my thumbs for up to 10 minutes, but also footage that needed to be watched through wouldn’t be able to load properly.

This meant that I would attempt to go back and reload a part of the video that was skipped past and not played in order to try an understand what part of the clip I was up to. This process, especially from the Sydney and Adelaide studios would have to repeat every ten seconds of the clip at hand.

(Kymbo & The Rooch were one of SEN SA shows that would take forever to load and export, SEN SA 1629)

I wouldn’t have to face this as much on Saturday shifts. ECN (2017) determines that in the internet ‘rush hour’ “data speeds drop by up to 30%”. Therefore, I believe that due to the more frequent foot traffic in the office throughout the week this was the reason behind the painstakingly slow exporting and loading times.

Another challenge I faced was the commute to the office. Being from Berwick, traditionally a trip to the city would take approximately an hour or so whether it be via car or train. Throughout the duration of the internship there were several Pakenham line closures that Berwick Station is on meaning it wasn’t a reliable service. On top of that the station that is only two kilometres from my house, was upgrading its car park for a 2023 expansion. This meant that in the meantime half of the car park was unavailable for use, thus scratching the option to go into SEN via Berwick Train Station. Driving in the full way was also not an option with parking on weekdays not only limited to a couple of hours but it also had to be paid for. This meant for all weekday shifts I was given that I would have to create a hybrid use of multiple forms of transportation to get to work.

It would go as follows. Drive from my house in Berwick to either Holmesglen Station or Huntingdale Station depending on track works or the congestion on the Monash Freeway. Next, take the train in from either station to Flinders Street. If I was going in from Huntingdale Station, I would have to get off at Richmond and change trains to skip wasted time through the city loop for an alternative train that goes directly to Flinders Street. From there it was a tram ride either down St Kilda Road to the Shine of Remembrance stop to then walk down the duration of Coventry Street, or if I was lucky a rare South Melbourne tram would appear and take me to the Kings Way stop dropping me off right outside SEN’s doors.

(Roadworks on the Monash Freeway lasted half the time I was with SEN. The other half was just as congested, The Age)

All up a trip to my internship on average would take 1 hour and 50 minutes each way. This meant early trips meant earlier alarms and long shifts meant late night arrivals back home. Despite this I can proudly say that I was never late to a shift.

In recollection of these challenges, I’m glad that the challenges I faced were those not in my control and didn’t reflect on my overall ability and performance.

The Environmental Impact Of Tyre Manufacturing And Disposal

The production of Car Tyres Coventry includes numerous chemicals and substances that affect the environment. The manufacture of synthetic rubber by myself calls for massive amounts of power derived from gas sources along with coal or natural gasoline.

• RP-3 (Tulip Rockets)

The RP-3 (from Rocket Projectile 3 inch) was a British rocket projectile used during and after the Second World War. Though primarily an air-to-ground weapon, it saw limited use in other roles.

The first use of rockets fired from aircraft was during World War I. The "unrotated projectiles" (UPs) were Le Prieur rockets which were mounted on the interplane struts of Nieuport fighters. These were used to attack observation balloons and were reasonably successful. With the war ended the Royal Air Force, intent on retrenching, forgot about firing rockets from aircraft. The British Army, however, did see a use for rockets against low-flying aircraft; from late 1940 parts of Britain were defended by increasing numbers of "Z-Batteries" 2-inch (51 mm) rockets supplementing the conventional anti-aircraft guns. When German forces under the command of Rommel intervened in the Western Desert from early 1941, it became clear that the Desert Air Force lacked weapons capable of damaging or destroying the large numbers of armoured fighting vehicles, particularly the heavier Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks possessed by the Germans. Consequently, in April 1941 Henry Tizard, the Chief Scientist, called together a panel to study "Methods of Attacking Armoured Vehicles."

The types of weapons investigated included the 40 mm Vickers S gun and related weapons manufactured by the Coventry Ordnance Works, as well as the Bofors 40 mm and the US 37 mm T9 cannon fitted to the Bell P-39 Airacobra: however, it was already recognised that these weapons were only capable of dealing with light tanks and motor transport, and using larger weapons on fighter-bombers was ruled out because of weight and difficulties handling recoil. Information was sought from the Soviets, who had just started using unguided RS-82 rockets against German ground forces in the opening phases of Operation Barbarossa. By September 1941 it was decided that two models of UP would be developed.

After consideration it was decided to concentrate on development of the 3-inch version, which could be developed from the 2-inch rocket used in the Z-Batteries. The rocket body was a steel tube 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter filled with 11 pounds (5.0 kg) of cordite propellant, fired electrically. The warhead was screwed into the forward end, and was initially a solid 25-pound (11 kg), 3.44-inch (87 mm) armor-piercing shell which was quickly supplemented by a 6-inch-diameter (150 mm), 60 pounds (27 kg) high-explosive head. Another type of head was a 25-pound (11 kg) mild steel (later concrete) practice head. Once the rocket had been mounted on the rails, an electrical lead was plugged into the exhaust of the rocket. Four large tailfins induced enough spin to stabilize the rocket, but as it was unguided, aiming was a matter of judgment and experience. Approach to the target needed to be precise, with no sideslip or yaw, which could throw the RP off line. Aircraft speed had to be precise at the moment of launch, and the angle of attack required precision. Trajectory drop was also a problem, especially at longer ranges. On the plus side the rocket was less complicated and more reliable than a gun firing a shell, and there was no recoil on firing. It was found to be a demoralising form of attack against ground troops, and the 60-pound warhead could be devastating. The rocket installations were light enough to be carried by single-seat fighters, giving them the punch of a cruiser.

Before the new weapon was released for service extensive tests were carried out by the Instrument, Armament and Defence Flight (IADF) at Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough. Hurricanes were fitted with rockets and rails and flown during June and July 1942. Further tests were undertaken from September 28th to November 30th to develop rocket firing tactics. Other aircraft used were a Hudson, a Swordfish, and a Sea Hurricane. Aiming was through a standard GM.II reflector gunsight. A later modification enabled the reflector to be tilted with the aid of a graduated scale, depressing the line of sight, the GM.IIL. The first operational use of the RP was in the Western Desert as a "tank-busting" weapon on Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIEs and IVs. The 25-pound armour-piercing heads were found to be ineffective against the Tiger I tanks coming into German service. With the example of the success of Royal Artillery gunners using high-explosive shells from the 25 pdr gun-howitzer, it was decided to design a new 60-pound semi-armour-piercing (SAP) head. These were capable of knocking turrets off tanks. A typical RP-3 installation was 4 projectiles on launching rails under each wing. A selector switch was fitted to allow the pilot to fire them singly (later omitted), in pairs, or as a full salvo. Towards the end of the war some RAF Second Tactical Air Force Hawker Typhoons had their installation adapted to carry an additional four rockets.

Possibly the best known action involving RP-3s was that of the Falaise pocket of mid-August 1944. During the battle German forces, retreating to avoid being trapped in a pincer movement by Allied ground forces, came under air attack. Amongst the waves of light, medium and fighter bombers attacking the German columns the Typhoons of 2 TAF attacked with their rockets, claiming hundreds of tanks and "mechanised enemy transport". After the battle Army and 2nd TAF Operational Research Sections studying the battleground came to the conclusion that far fewer vehicles (17 in total) had been destroyed by rocket strike alone. What was clear was that in the heat of battle it was far harder for pilots to launch the weapons while meeting the conditions needed for accuracy.

In 1945, some British Shermans were fitted with two or four rails – one or two either side of the turret – to carry 60-pound headed rockets. These were used at the Rhine Crossing by tanks of the 1st Coldstream Guards. The tanks were called "Sherman Tulips". The tanks fitted included both conventional Shermans and the more heavily armed Sherman Fireflies. The modifications were first tried out by two officers of the 1st Armoured Battalion, Coldstream Guards, 5th Guards Armoured Brigade, who obtained rockets and launching rails from an RAF base and carried out the first test firings on March 17th, 1945. They were inspired after hearing the idea had been earlier tried, but abandoned, by a Canadian unit, the 18th Armoured Car Regiment (12th Manitoba Dragoons), who had fitted RP-3 rails to a Staghound Armoured Car. The rockets were highly inaccurate when fired from a tank as they were being fired from a stationary point and had little slipstream over the fins. Despite this, the RP-3 was valued by tank crews for the destructive effect of its 60-pound warhead. In combat, they were also used for short-range, saturation bombardment of an area and were effective as an immediate counter to German ambushes.

The 3-inch RP continued to be used on RAF and RN aircraft in the ground attack role until replaced by the SNEB podded rocket (RAF) and the 2-inch podded RP (RN). Operational use included the Malayan emergency, the Korean War, the Suez crisis, and the Radfan campaign.
