| (IV) Wheels and Tyres
1) Rotate AND ‘Re-balance’ all the 5-wheels every
5000 km, in a manner given in your OHB. A puncture-repaired wheel needs
to be rebalanced before use, for obvious reasons.
2) Given our Road conditions, check/reset Wheel Alignment every 10000
kms.
3) Check/reset tyre pressures, when ‘cold’, once a fortnight.
General
‘Cleanliness being next to Godliness’ is
just as true for Cars – ‘inside out’, including the
Under Carriage and the Engine. One can devise one’s own means to
achieve the objective. A clean Car ‘feels’ better to ride
in and a clean engine does actually perform better !
Never Garage a wet car in a closed-up area. It will be
less damaging to leave it out in the rain. For further details, read ‘Appearance
Care’ Chapter of your OHB.
Stick to a reliable and trustworthy Garage, even if you
have to go the ‘extra mile’ for it. It pays in the long run.
Friendly neighbourhood Mechanics are to be avoided, as far as PMP is concerned.
A ‘well-looked- after’ Car can last almost
a lifetime and be a perpetual source of joy ! Besides, it will fetch you
higher than ‘market price’, if and when you wish to sell it.
