- How do I find my tyre size?It's printed on the tyre's sidewall, as a code like 205/55 R16.
- How do I find my tyre pressures?Check the sticker on the driver's door pillar, inside the fuel flap, or the handbook - never guess a figure.
- How do I tell how old a tyre is?Look for the 4-digit date code on the sidewall - it shows the week and year the tyre was made.
- How do I find out what fuel my car takes?Check inside the fuel flap, the V5C, or the handbook - all three normally state petrol or diesel.
- Which side is my fuel cap on?Check your fuel gauge - most cars show a small arrow next to the pump icon pointing to the correct side.
- How do I check my oil level?Most cars: dipstick out, wipe it, back in, out again, and read between the min and max marks.
- Where is the VIN on a car?Commonly visible through the windscreen, inside the driver's door pillar, or under the bonnet - and on the V5C.
- What do I do if I've lost my car keys?Get a replacement from a dealer or locksmith, and think about whether the lost key is a security risk worth acting on.
