Is Your Land Rover Winter Ready?
Book a complimentary Health Check to find out more
It is important to have your Land Rover serviced once a year as this will maintain both the vehicle's condition and performance. We advise that if your service is due, you get this done ahead of the winter months.
Throughout the winter your Land Rover is likely to endure additional wear and tear, a full vehicle service will put your car in the best position possible to handle these conditions. If you haven;t had time to book in for a full service and are looking for piece of mind, then why not book a complimentary winter service with our team. Our skilled technicians are highly trained and a winter health check should notify you of any potential issues before they could arise, to help keep you on the road to happy motoring.
At Joe Duffy Land Rover we offer a Complimentary Winter Check. Our Land Rover trained technicians will check not only your tyres and tyre pressure but will also visually examine your brakes, windows, bulbs and fluid levels (anti-freeze).

TYRES & BRAKES
Keeping your Land Rover’s tires in top shape is crucial for safe winter driving. Regularly inspect for any wear, such as cracks or splits, and pay special attention to the tread depth. For winter conditions, a tread depth of at least 3mm is recommended to ensure proper grip on slippery roads. If you need replacements, arrange for new tires promptly to prepare for shifting weather.
Additionally, check and maintain the recommended tire pressure, as detailed in your vehicle handbook, to ensure optimal traction and handling. Our trained technicians will perform a visual inspection of your tyres and brakes as part of our winter health check, giving you peace of mind.
LIGHTS
During winter, we often find ourselves driving in darker conditions, making vehicle lighting essential for visibility and safety. Ensure both you and your Land Rover are visible by regularly checking its lights. A practical way to do this is by having someone stand outside the vehicle while you cycle through side lights, dipped beams, main beams, fog lights, indicators and rear lights.
If you have any worries in doing this yourself, this check is part of the Joe Duffy Land Rover winter health check we offer, and we can also help in replacing any old bulbs with new ones should the need arise.
LEVEL CHECK
Be sure to keep your antifreeze and coolant levels regularly topped up, as well as checking your oil levels.
Your oil levels can be checked using your dipstick and our friendly service team are always happy to advise on the correct oil for your vehicle.
In the colder months, it is necessary to use antifreeze within your screen wash. Screen wash will not only help to keep your screen clean and clear on those wet and dirty roads, but antifreeze can help on those chilly mornings.
Engine coolant is vital in ensuring the engine stays cool and works perfectly. Again in winter months antifreeze is required here to ensure the water within the coolant does not freeze. Your coolant levels should not drop rapidly, so if you notice this be sure to get in touch. Our team will check your fluid levels as part of our winter health check and notify you of any issues.
