Most of us are staying home and playing our part in coping with the virus - but let's not forget that we need to have our means of transport ready should it be needed in an emergency. Here are simple steps to maintain your car if it is mostly sitting idle - thanks to Paul Bradley, technical support engineer with Volkswagen Group Ireland. He reminds us that our cars could be sitting in the driveway for a few weeks with little or no 'exercise'. "In modern vehicles this is not so much as an issue as with older cars, but it is still essential to maintain and pay it some attention," he said. The first thing to do is clean inside and out (and sanitise as many touch points as possible).
