The UK has been plunged into winter and more cold weather is on the way, which means it's going to get frosty out there. Sub-zero temperatures mean icy car windscreens, which can be extremely annoying in the early hours of the morning when you need to set off to work - but they could just be the tip of the iceberg.
Cars need water in the radiator to run as it plays a vital part in cooling the engine, as pipes lace through the inside of your car to keep the vital parts cool. If you've ever noticed your radiator is running low, you may have just refilled it with water from the tap - but this can be a huge problem when the temperature drops.
The AA recommends you put a mixture of anti-freeze and water in the radiator, because if you just have water in there then it could freeze and expand, rupturing cooling pipes and in extreme cases even cracking your engine block.
