AMC Car Repairs – Weekly Roundup – VW’s & More
AMC Car Repairs – Weekly Roundup – VW’s & More This past week we have seen a large numer of VW’s, there obviously popular in Hampshire. Schools have returned and the evenings are beginning to get dark, it makes us start thinking about the winter season ahead. We all want our cars to be reliable all the time, but personally I cant think of anything worse than breaking down on a cold wet day. Obviously not all breakdowns can be avoided, as plenty are unforceseen, however regular maintenance & servicing will help reduce the chances of breaking down on a cold wet winters day. Now is a good time to consider when you last serviced your vehicle and are there any outstanding jobs that need repairing on it before the winter season is upon us and the next big expense … Continue reading

Braking Distance versus Tyre Depth
Braking Distance versus Tyre Depth Independent Research provided by The Motor Industry Research Association has provided convincing new evidence that worn tyres significantly increase the chances of having an accident on wet roads, by increasing the braking distance. Tests showed a significant increase in braking distance when tyres are worn down to 3mm. Although the legal limit is only 1.6mm this new research shows that tyres with a 3mm tread had 25% better performance than those with 1.6mm in wet conditions. In terms of braking distance this equates to an extra 8m (25ft). One test showed a car with new tyres with a tread depth of 8mm compared to a tyres with 1.6mm, the braking distance increased by 13 metres (42.25ft) – the equivalent to double the length of a typical living room.
