Default Summer breakdowns
Drove about 400 miles at the weekend and I must have seen about 40 cars broken down. I guess overheating was the main problem. Keep an eye on your temp gauge and if you are stuck in a jam turn off the engine! Putting on the warm blowers in the car will usually help keep your coolant temperature down. Make sure your antifreeze is OK (it acts as a coolant in the summer!)

Are there any other summer breakdown causes that you can think of?
