June 2025 Car Care Archive – Your Quick Guide to Spark Plugs, Clutches, Wipers & More

June was packed with hands‑on advice for everyday drivers. If you’ve ever wondered whether a spark plug is still good, why a clutch might slip, or how long silicone wiper blades really last, you’ll find clear answers here. Below is a snapshot of every how‑to we published, grouped by the most common car problems people face.

Key Topics Covered

Spark Plugs: We broke down how to test a plug, the signs of a bad plug, and how often you should replace them. One article explained why new plugs can make an engine start smoother, while another gave a step‑by‑step guide to spotting faulty plugs before they cause misfires.

Clutch Issues: Two posts tackled clutch slip. One showed the tell‑tale signs of a slipping clutch and why it happens, and the other offered DIY fixes you can try before ordering a full replacement.

Windshield & Windscreen Wipers: Readers learned the real lifespan of silicone blades, tips to make any wiper last longer, and even the difference between the terms “windshield” and “windscreen” around the world.

Suspension & Handling: We explained how to detect a bad suspension, listed the three most common suspension noises, and detailed which parts usually need repair. There’s also a guide on making a suspension feel softer without sacrificing safety.

Other Essentials: From radiator replacement timelines and cheap ways to check oil levels, to brake pad wear signs and whether a muffler delete can hurt your engine, the June archive covered a wide range of maintenance questions.

Why These Guides Matter

Knowing when a part needs attention can stop a minor annoyance from turning into a costly repair. For example, catching a bad spark plug early saves fuel and keeps the engine running smooth. Spotting a slipping clutch before it locks up means you avoid a sudden loss of power on the road.

Our wiper articles help you stay safe in rain by extending blade life and ensuring a clear view. And the suspension tips keep your ride comfortable while protecting expensive components like shocks and control arms.

All the advice is written in plain language, so you don’t need a mechanic’s dictionary to understand it. Each article includes quick checks you can do in your garage or driveway, plus real‑world tips that work for everyday drivers in Northwich and beyond.

Take a few minutes to skim the headlines that match your current car trouble. Follow the step‑by‑step instructions, and you’ll likely fix the issue yourself or at least know exactly what to tell a professional. That’s the goal of our June 2025 archive – to give you the confidence to keep your car running smoothly without breaking the bank.
