Will it be fireside or roadside for you this winter? Will you become one of the thousands of motorists who ends up stranded on the hard shoulder or kerb? If you drive into winter like it is any other season, chances are you’ll become just another breakdown, or even worse, an accident statistic.

But spend a little time and money making sure your car is up to the job and you could be the one safely at home warming by the fire.

We've compiled everything you need to know about preparing for winter, and the kit that can help you get through to next spring.

And this year, when many of us are hanging on to our cars longer, these vital jobs are even more important, as older vehicles are more prone to problems when the temperatures drop.
