•If you get behind the wheel only to discover that your car’s battery has given up the ghost and there’s no one around to give you a jump you may be able to get your vehicle started by dropping two aspirin tablets into the battery itself. The aspirin’s acetylsalicylic acid will combine with the battery’s sulfuric acid to produce one last charge. Just be sure to drive to your nearest service station.
Steamy window
•Windows steaming up is a common bugbear for motorists. It usually occurs in the colder months and is caused by hot air inside the car "your breath" meeting cold surfaces "your car windows". Steamy windows can often mean having to sit and wait for them to clear, adding time to your journey and potentially even making you late for work or an appointment. One way around this is to fill an old sock with cat litter and leave it inside the vehicle. This will absorb the moisture in the air giving you a steam-free windscreen.
Filling your tank
•When filling your car’s fuel tank hold the trigger on the pump halfway. This will ensure you get more fuel in your tank and less air, resulting in fewer trips to the pump.
