Then just park next to the machine.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>Get your \u00a31 out. Yep, this is one of those rare occasions when you actually need cash on you.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>Pop your coin in and enter the tyre pressure you need by pressing the + and - buttons.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>Pick a tyre, unscrew the valve cap and grab the air pump nozzle thing.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>Put the air pump nozzle thing on the valve and wait a second while it checks the pressure for you. Clever.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>If it\u2019s not the right pressure, the machine will inflate or deflate the tyre to the level you selected on the machine.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>Wait for the beeeeep and you\u2019re done. Make sure you screw the valve cap back on nice and tight.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>Only 3 more to go. Work your way around the car doing the same to each tyre.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>When you\u2019re done just hang the air pump nozzle thing back on the machine.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n<li>Step back, wipe your grubby hands on something you don't mind ruining and give yourself a pat on the back \u2013 you\u2019re now officially a car maintenance god.<\/li>\r\n\t\r\n\t<ol>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n<div class=\"container-border text-center margin-top-20 margin-bottom-20\"><h4>Feeling inspired to do some more car checks? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ingenie.com\/young-drivers-guide\/carrying-out-vehicle-safety-checks\">Here you go.<\/a><\/h4><\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, all you really need is a petrol garage and a \u00a31 coin.
