Most of us think about sun cream, sunglasses and topping up the screen wash when the weather turns warm and tyre pressure rarely makes the list. But tyre pressure in hot weather is one of those things that quietly causes problems all summer long, and by the time you notice, it’s usually because something’s already […]
We have all been there. You get in the car on a freezing morning and you are late. You cannot see a thing because the windscreen is completely misted up. It is dangerous to drive like that and it is actually illegal in the UK to drive without full visibility. That is why you need […]
Modern engines from Ford, Peugeot, and Citroen are much quieter than they used to be. This is mostly because of a wet belt system. At FRM Automotive, we want to explain how this works so your car lasts longer. People often ask us ‘what is a wet belt’ and if it is good for their […]
It is funny how we treat our cars sometimes. We rely on them to get us to work, drop the kids off and head out on weekend trips but we often forget the one thing that keeps the whole engine from seizing up. It turns out a massive portion of drivers in the UK do […]

When your car refuses to start on a cold morning, there’s a strong chance your battery is to blame. In the UK, where damp weather and freezing winter temperatures are common, car batteries work harder than many drivers realise. Whether you’re commuting daily, running a family vehicle, or managing a fleet, understanding your car battery […]
When it comes to vehicle safety, tyre care is often overlooked. Drivers tend to focus on engine performance, brakes and servicing schedules, but your tyres are the only part of your vehicle that makes direct contact with the road. That small contact patch is responsible for grip, braking, handling and overall safety. Neglecting tyre care […]
When it comes to vehicle safety, most drivers think about tyres, brakes, and lights. But there’s one simple component that often gets overlooked until it’s too late: your wiper blades. In the UK, where rain is part of daily life rather than a seasonal inconvenience, properly functioning wiper blades are essential. Whether you’re commuting through […]
When people think about car performance, they often picture engines, brakes or tyres. But there’s one component quietly doing some of the most important work every time you drive: the shock absorber.
