The winter is the worst time for inclement weather, especially in Northern areas of the United States, such as Western Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh, PA is known for its rough winters. Safe driving practices should always be employed when driving, but especially so during the cold winter months where snow and ice make driving hazardous. Safe driving is a conscious decision that every driver needs to make. Part of safe driving new or used cars and trucks includes keeping them properly maintained. If you're driving an older car, it is more likely that you could end up broken down on the side of the road in the freezing cold. However, if you keep up with the maintenance, you can make your old car safer for driving.
Over the winter, our natural inclination is to just stay inside out of the cold. We're less likely to take care of routine things like checking antifreeze or oil. If we keep up with these basic service needs during the winter, our cars will be more likely to run better and save us from getting stranded in a snowstorm. Here are some good maintenance tips to keep in mind:
Check Your Brakes
A car's brakes need to be in good working order during the winter to keep you safe. Sliding over the ice is quite common, especially with smaller cars, and can be even more dangerous when your brakes are shot. When something unexpected happens on the highway, you need to have the ability to stop suddenly. When the road is slushy or icy, this can be difficult. If your brake pads are worn or your brakes aren't functioning properly, you could end up careening into the car in front of you.
Check Your Antifreeze
Coolant is just as important in the winter months as it is in the summer. Antifreeze prevents your engine from overheating and is a vital part to keeping your car running well. Antifreeze is actually combined with water. If the proportions are not even and you have more water than antifreeze, you could damage your engine.
Check Your Tires
The tread on your tires helps your car from sliding across snowy and icy roads. Over time, the tread becomes worn from use, so you must be conscious during the winter months of how much tread is left. During the winter, 1/8" is a general standard of depth for your tread to ensure safe driving. This will greatly help you from getting into an accident or sliding into a ditch. Also, make sure to check your tire pressure periodically. In the cold, the air in your tires compresses and can often make tires a bit flat. Many gas stations offer free air, so take the time to add some air to your tires when necessary.
Check Your Windshield Wipers
Windshield wipers also get worn down over time as they fight to keep your view free from rain, sleet, snow, and ice. Windshield wipers are vital for giving you clear vision despite the weather. If your windshield wipers don't seem to be doing the job for you, you need to either slow down or check your windshield washer fluid. If the washer fluid is low or out, your windshield wipers will not be able to do an efficient job cleaning off your windshield. Unlike antifreeze, however, water does not mix with or substitute for washer fluid. Cold weather will cause the water to freeze on your windshield rather than clean it.
Keep Your Gas Tank Full
Have you ever thought you still had a quarter tank of gas left in your car, but after you come out of work, the gas light is on? If your car is low on gas, what is left in the tank can freeze. Then you'll really be stuck, stranded somewhere. Save yourself some anxiety and potential danger by making sure to keep your gas tank full.
Keep Track of Your Car's Maintenance
Time often escapes us in our busy lives. We think we may have just had an oil change, but really, that was 10 months ago. How do you keep all your car's maintenance needs in order? Keep a log or journal to track the dates, expenses, and maintenance history for your car. This way, you can be sure about what was done and estimate when you need to have more work done in the future. Always make sure your battery is working well, your spark plug wires are functioning, and you are not low on engine oil. These are routinely checked when you have your oil changed.
A snowy, icy day is the worst time for an accident. While accidents are never well-timed, in the winter, accidents are more likely to happen, can cause injury more easily, and more difficult for medical help to get to. Stay safe during the winter by driving slowly and keeping your car properly maintained.

Indian Small Car Won’t Rival Logan - Ghosn
Carlos Ghosn, the CEO of both Nissan Motor Co. and Renault SA, said that a new and cheap car that the partners hope to build for India's booming small car market will not compete directly with Renault's Logan.
Ghosn added that Nissan and Renault were looking closely at the feasibility of building a $3,000 car in India in a venture with tractor and utility vehicle manufacturer Mahindra and Mahindra that would go head-to-head with Tata Motors Ltd.'s sub-$3,000 "People's Car" due for launch next year.
"Frankly, that's something that challenges us," Ghosn said last Wednesday. "These people are serious, we take them seriously." Such an ultra-cheap car "could have a big potential - bigger than India," he said.
Earlier this year, Renault began selling its popular Logan in India through a joint venture with local automaker Mahindra & Mahindra, but it is priced in a range of 428,000 rupees to 547,000 rupees. Ghosn said that Nissan and Renault are contacting suppliers in India and analyzing all aspects of producing the less expensive car. "If it makes sense, we'll be ready to start it," he said, but did not give a timeframe.”
He added if the companies decide to make the car, they will make two cars from the same platform - one for Nissan and one for Renault. Nissan created an alliance with Renault in 1999. The upcoming cars will likely sport trusted parts like the Nissan strut mount, engines and stylish accessories but will be much cheaper.
By 2010, annual car sales in India are set to nearly double to two million, with small cars making up over two-thirds of the market. It can be noted that huge budding economies like India, China and Russia are the new combat zone for global automakers amid declining sales in aggressive mature markets.
"We cannot accept to be completely taken by surprise by somebody coming with a $3,000 car that could have a potential bigger than India. Nissan and Renault are working on it," Ghosn said. "One car manufacturer says it is to bring a $3,000 car to India next year and it is a challenge we take seriously. We will be ready when the car comes to the market, we will have enough information, research, discussion. Our obvious partner is Mahindra and we are working with them, but we have not finalized any agreement yet."
Ghosn said that the super low-cost car under study would not directly compete with the Logan that made its debut in India last month. Indian-assembled Logan cars cost about $9,840, while those made in Romania go for about $8,510. Logans are also built in Brazil, Colombia, Iran, Morocco and Russia. Nissan, Renault and Mahindra are building a plant in Chennai in southern India. The facility will be used to build 400,000 vehicles annually from mid-2009.
Ghosn said that Renault had no specific growth plans in Southeast Asia, as it was busy meeting global demand for the Logan. "Renault's commitment through 2009, which is based on very clear objectives, is not based on Southeast Asia. It is based on expansion in Russia, India, Eastern Europe and South America," he said. "But obviously we are not going to leave Southeast Asia for others, particularly where Nissan already has a strong presence."
The Japanese automaker’s CEO has intimated his skepticism on Thailand's goal to develop itself into an export hub for small, economical cars in the same way it built a successful small pick-up truck industry. "When you come to smaller cars, you have competitors and the biggest are China and India. Thailand is not so obvious if it is to become a dominant exporter of small cars," Ghosn said.

Anyone got details of a good independent renault garage around the Croydon area?
My Renault Clio needs some major work done to it. I`ve been give a quote from the Coulsdon Renault dealer of £1506 for repairs to the injection computer, engine wiring loom, TDC sensor and a replacement car key.
Its a lot of money so I am looking for any renault specialist garages that could do it cheaper.
I asked the garage that serviced my car for a quote but they are not willing to do the work due to (at least they were honest !! they said they could not guarantee they could complete the work to the standard of the renault dealership). I mentioned I might get a
quote from kwik fit but they advised me not to (due to the electrical nature of the jobs at hand, the garage suggested I get quotes from renault specialist garages only).
Does anyone know of any such garages in the Croydon area ?
Thanks
Derek Whyte
P.S I`m looking for recommendations of garages that can do this kind of work to a good standard. Cheers

Around Silverstone in an F1 car (virtually)
What's it like to take on Silverstone in a Formula One car? Now that in-season testing is banned on cost grounds, the only people who will find out are the likes of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, but there is another way to get a taste for one of the world's most famous tracks. At Red Bull's headquarters in Milton Keynes there's a simulator which allows you to feel "every bump, nook and ...
