Hinge and lock check and lubrication (Every 12 000 miles or 12 months)
1 Work around the vehicle, and lubricate the bonnet, door and tailgate hinges with a light machine oil such as Duckhams Home Oil.
2 Lightly lubricate the bonnet release mechanism and exposed sections of inner cable with a smear of grease.
3 Check the security and operation of all hinges, latches and locks, adjusting them where required. Where applicable, check the operation of the central locking system.
4 Check the condition and operation of the tailgate struts, renewing them if either is leaking or is no longer able to support the tailgate securely when raised.
