Wiper blades – Our technicians will ensure that the wiper blades are fully operational and the rubber condition of the blade is suitable and will advise on the next steps as necessary.

Terms and conditions
*Parasitic drain: The continual draw of power from the vehicle battery, even when the vehicle is off, caused by various electrical components. It is normal to have some amount of parasitic drain to keep functions like your car clock and security system maintained. An excessive parasitic drain can be caused by various reasons and therefore lead to a shorter battery life.

**Brake fluid hygroscopicity: Brake fluids are hygroscopic, which means that they absorb moisture from the environment. This means that water molecules are absorbed into the brake fluid, which can then cause chemical reactions with other elements in the brake fluid and system. Furthermore, this will increase vapour pressure build-up inside the braking lines under heavy braking, drastically affecting braking performance.

***1.6mm is the legal limit of tyre depth. If caught driving with illegal tyres, you risk a fine of up to £2,500 per tyre and 3 points on your driving licence.

^Air conditioning re-gas not applicable to Jaguar Land Rover, Performance Vehicles and LCV product.
