Prevent some of the most common sources of breakdown by making sure your belts and hoses are checked at normal periods.
Belts are subject to wear and tear over time, leaving them at risk of slipping, breaking, or becoming so slack that it may not work effectively. Hose pipes may glaze and crack after years of use or when exposed to extreme temperatures. A damaged hose pipe can result in vital fluids dripping from your engine, causing harm to engine parts.
