How to reduce mist buildup of the exterior windscreen and side windows when the air-con is turned on.
You may wish to change the air-con vent direction. To de-mist the front and rear windscreens, there are always the wipers and defogger. 		What does it mean if I have to keep topping up my radiator?
If you are constantly topping up the radiator, check for leaks. This is best done when the system is under pressure and when the coolant is hot.
I have difficulty engaging gears 1 and 2 on my car's manual gearbox. What could be the problem?
Check the clutch's free play to ensure that it is within specifications (it's usually about 1.25cm). Too much free play can cause difficulty in engaging gears. 		Why does my car's steering wheel shake whenever I brake?
This can happen when the brake discs are unevenly worn. When the brake pads come into contact with such discs, vibrations - felt by the driver through the steering wheel - occur.
