TIREDNESS: On long journeys it is essen­ tial to take regular breaks from driving. The AA recommends that you do not drive for more than three hours wthout a break and not more than seven hours in one day. DRIVING ABROAD: Make sure your


insurance policy fully covers you and any other drivers and remember to take your insurance documents, driving licences arid of course your passportsl You should also carry spare bulbs for all car lights and a hazard warning triangle in case of an emergency. ■

larly is one way to avoid all the hassle of a breakdown - not foolproof, of course, but prevention is always better than cure. A pre-holiday check would also be advisable so check out your local garages. Most will be able to offer a cost-effective 'health check' at this time of year. Tyres should always be carefully checked as worn treads can be lethal. Tyre pressure, too, should be regularlymonitored. /.. ■ Check Your B.altcry

Many recovery patrols now carry new batteries for sale, so that they can solve the problem on the spot.'A lot of people think that car batteries last 10 years or so and.the confusion is coiri- pounded by batteries claiming to offer' "lifetime guarantees" - the lifetime of what? You? The car? It's actually; the life­ time of the battery and on average, that's three years. Sluggish starting is a sure sign that your car battery is getting old. As soon as starting becomes slow, it's time to think about buying a new battery. Shock Absorbers - Out Of Sight But Not

Out Of Mind One thing you almost certainly won't be


able to check and rectify yourself prior to venturing out on roads in any condition are the shock absorbers. Yet the danger of driving a car with worn shock absorbers is considerable. The likelihood of ha'ving worn 'shocks'


is even greater among vehicles that'are three or more years old or those that have travelled over 50,000 miles. Shock absorbers are hidden beneath the


car's bodywork and behind the.wheels. Unlike tyres, they, are not’easy to check regularly for visible signs of damage. Yet they must be checked. The effects of worn 'shocks' are serious and include: ■.■ •:' ; ; ' ■ Reduced braking efficiency and longti braking distances '

HERE are lots of compact 4x4s I out there but family buyers in par-


J . ticular should: not overlook '


Renault’s Koleos. It might not be the most exciting thing to look at but the 4x4 versions are decent off-road, the interior IS practical, build quality is strong and the ride is brilliantly smooth. The Koleos feels like so many other


small 4x4s with a modicum of off-road capability in that its body control is a lit­ tle wayward in the corners but it’s a reve­ lation in terms of ride quality and com­ fort - even on poor surfaces. The two engines on offer are both 2.0- litre dCi diesel units.


■ The first has 150bhp and the second


manages 175bhp. They are whisper quiet at cruising speeds in the well-insulated cabin and pull strongly once into their stride. As a result; long distance trips are


expertly handled by the Koleos, even if the steering and gearbox, aren’t tactile enough to inject a significant fun factor. Both units are similar in terms of per­ formance with the crucial torque figures pegged at 320Nm for the 150bhp unit and 360Nmforthel75bhp. ... Both of these figures are forthcoming


at 2,000rpm but a slight lag in the power delivery combined with the sharp clutch mean you do need revs on the board to make sharp getaways. 0-60mph accelera­ tion is measured at 11.6s for the less pow­ erful unit and 9.9s for the range-topper. Far from being all mouth and no


trousers when it comes to off-roading, the • Koleos has a decent collection of kit. There’s no low range gearbox or locking centre differential, the kit that any seri­ ous off-roader would need, but the 4x4 system fitted to plusher variants.is Nis­ san’s All Mode 4x4-i system and i, we’re told, stands for intelligent. Further inclusions run to a hill decent


control system, hill start assist and amongst the best ramp and departure angles in the class. .The suspension is extremely good.


. Koleos buyers wi l l need at least


£17,995 to get their name on the registra­ tion document, making it competitive ; against leading rivals when the Renault’s all-diesel engine range is taken into account.
