I highly recommend purchasing your own tyre "inflator" pump; one that plugs into the car's 12V socket. Halford's own brand ones seem to last well. I keep mine in the car (especially on long journeys), just in case one of the tyres picks up a slow puncture.
Thank you for this! You legend! You explain it so clearly and quickly. I couldn't of asked for a better tutorial. You have helped more than my final instructor ever did, thank you! It still did not resolve my issue though (unaligned tyres... Veering to the left). At least I know how to do this with confidence though.
Thank you. If your car is veering to the left then it is wheel alignment. This is usually cased by going over a big pot hole and to resolve it you would need to get your tracking aligned. It will take a tyre garage about 10 to 15 minutes to do. Not sure of price(£30 to £90).
@@JamesTravis ok cheers for the info on that! There is a place near me which can check it for £20 I am told. Glad to know it's quite an easy fix though! Thanks again.
A helpful video thanks, I got a spare set of dust caps to keep in the car as I’m sure I’ll lose one at some stage and were very cheap. I’m not good for checking the tyres, or oil etc … I tend to wait until the car system tells me it needs doing.
So to confirm on the petrol station machine you put in what the tyres should be? Not how much extra they need to reach that point? Also how urgent is it to do this if they're bit low?
Yes you inflate to the correct pressure. The longer you leave the tyre pressure low the more the tyre will ware. If you are going to drive on a long journey, then definitely get them inflated because there is a higher risk of your tyre getting hotter than usual.
But you’re allowed to wait on a yellow box junction when you’re turning right, yellow box junctions are backed up by law, keep clears are advisory only, they don’t have any laws attached to them and also, when you’re turning right, even if there’s a keep clear, the main road has priority over the minor road, you would have to sit and wait on a keep clear when turning right to stop the vehicle on the side road from having priority over you.
Thank you for this. Being a female I haven't a clue how to use one of these at a garage. Can you change the pressure? My front tyres should be 30 psi while the rear ones are 26 psi
I’ve passed my test Irrelevant to this video ik But when I get fuel in future How do I pay over the counter As I know Tescos garage is pay st pump and can only remove the pump until you paid I prefer going inside to counter do you know ? Thanks 😊
You're overthinking it. Both methods are very simple. If you prefer paying over the counter, you just tell them the pump number and you pay for the fuel using card or cash. You ask for a receipt if you need it, then you go on your merry way.
No problem, I'm happy to help. It will become second nature the more you do it. You are correct; due to rising fuel theft, some stations have added additional security measures. I prefer paying at the pump. At most stations, it's as easy as inserting your card, entering your PIN, and then filling up. Whichever method you choose, you can't go wrong, so give it a go when you're ready. Congrats on passing your test by the way.@@JackT21
how do you deal with an over inflated tyre please. I bought a plug in machine but it does not switch on (yes i did plug into cigarette lighter and turn on engine
Hi, just regarding the portable machine. It does sound faulty if you have plugged it in and turned on the machine and it still does not work. I would look to send it back to supplier and ask for an exchange or refund. To deal with overinflated tyres: If you are using a machine at a petrol station and input the correct tyre pressure then plug it in to your tyre it will deflate them to the correct setting.
I had a dreadful experience where a pump was faulty and it deflated my tyres. Thankfully, I've got my own machine that I can do without stress at home. Can you inflate your tyres if it's raining? I always time it so it's a dry day and the tyres are cold

That’s a good call
Hey Travis, I want to thank you so much for your videos, I passed this morning with 3 minors!! You do brilliant work, keep it up !!
Thank you for your kind words.
Congratulations on passing

Hi James,
I just want to say thanks for all your great videos. I passed first time yesterday!
That’s great news. Congratulations on passing and thank you for watching.
Another video watched brilliant--even though i've 36 years driving experience still like watching your vlogs👍
Wow 36 years of driving. That is about the same as me. Thank you for your kind words. Safe driving
Thank you for this tutorial very helpful.
Happy to help
When you push it on, do you pull it down slightly?
Just push on should do it
So to confirm on the petrol station machine you put in what the tyres should be? Not how much extra they need to reach that point? Also how urgent is it to do this if they're bit low?
Yes you inflate to the correct pressure. The longer you leave the tyre pressure low the more the tyre will ware. If you are going to drive on a long journey, then definitely get them inflated because there is a higher risk of your tyre getting hotter than usual.
Can you stop and wait on a keep clear when you’re turning right?
I would not
No. Keep clear should be always clear
But you’re allowed to wait on a yellow box junction when you’re turning right, yellow box junctions are backed up by law, keep clears are advisory only, they don’t have any laws attached to them and also, when you’re turning right, even if there’s a keep clear, the main road has priority over the minor road, you would have to sit and wait on a keep clear when turning right to stop the vehicle on the side road from having priority over you.

If the car information is saying your tyres require that amount for front and back. Then yes just change the pressure on the air machine.
@@JamesTravis thanks!
Good explanation sir ❤
Thank you and safe driving

Irrelevant to this video ik

How do I pay over the counter
As I know Tescos garage is pay st pump and can only remove the pump until you paid
I prefer going inside to counter do you know ?

While waiting for the 3 beeps on each tyre it’s probably a good idea to have a look at the tyre as you’re filling it up to check for cuts or bulges.
That is a good idea
@@JamesTravis What should I do if I find a cut? Thanks
Thanks for this video, really helpful 😊

Hows the new car holding?
It is going well. Very easy to drive.

Great to hear 👍
There are two nozzels on the air pump. Which one should I use or can either end be used? Many thanks
It will only fit on one end. The other end let’s tye air out so you don’t overfill
Thank you sir. They look the same to me is there a way of telling them apart?
@@JamesTravis can I place my thumb over the other one? because it seems like I'm losing pressure when filling my tires
Thanks did mine after this video at 5am at Morrisons
That's great to hear. Safe driving
Does it matter if the tyres are warm from driving?
Yes. If the tyres are warm/hot from driving you'll get an incorrect reading as hot air in the tyres expands.
Yes, check your tyres when they are cold
I had a dreadful experience where a pump was faulty and it deflated my tyres. Thankfully, I've got my own machine that I can do without stress at home.
Can you inflate your tyres if it's raining? I always time it so it's a dry day and the tyres are cold
Good to know! Yes you can inflate your car tyres in the rain.

Thank you for watching.
