No battery power

You wake up early in the morning to leave for the office or drop your children at their school, you put your car keys in the ignition, but it does not start. It does not even make any noise at all.

What could be the problem? The first thing you should do is check the wire and terminals of your battery. See if they are connected properly and are not loose. Tighten them up with the right size spanner and try again. If it starts, you are good to go; if it does not, there might be another issue. You can also check your car’s fuse box and replace any blown fuses. However, if something is wrong with your ignition system or your battery has completed its life, you would need professional help.

Leaky radiator or hose pipe

The car’s radiator does an incredible and significant job of keeping your vehicle cool. The proper functioning of the radiator becomes even more important if you have to drive constantly for hours.

Usually, the temperature indicator is just right to your fuel indication, which tells you how hot your car is. If your radiator is leaking, the connecting hose pipe is leaking, or you have lost your head gas kit, the temperature will exceed the acceptable level. In this case, it is extremely important to stop your car.

Wait a while for the vehicle to cool down, and check the water level in your radiator. Fill it up if it needs water and wait to see if the water level reduces right away, indicating a leaky radiator. Also, check your connecting pipe for leakage. Your vehicle may require towing services if the leakage is serious. Running your vehicle without radiator water can ruin your engine. Car breakdown recovery Slough services can come in handy in such a case.

Where are my keys?

You are commuting to another city. You stop by a store to get something, and when you return to your car, you realize your keys are inside. What is even worse is if you cannot find your keys anywhere.

If your keys are inside, you can try doing some tricks, such as using the keys of someone else’s car of the same make and model or pulling down your mirror. If, however, the keys are to be found nowhere, you will need professional help. Many companies offer these services, and one phone call should be enough to relieve you.

No or too much engine oil

The car’s engine uses oil to lubricate the engine parts. The purpose is to reduce the friction between these parts so that less heat is produced and the parts suffer from lower wear& tear. If there is too little oil, the wear & tear of your engine parts will speed up.

If there is too much oil, the engine parts will find it difficult to move. If there is no oil at all, you risk the complete cessation of your engine. Although your car can run a while in the first two cases, you should never try to run a car without any engine oil. The best thing to do is call a car breakdown recovery service.

The latter is a better option, especially when you are in no mood for a long, unpredictable walk.
