THE host of Wheeler Dealers has revealed\u00a0<\/strong>why you should never keep your car locked in your garage during the winter months.<\/p>\n Mike Brewer, 59, who co-presents the Discovery Channel\u2019s show with\u00a0Marc \u2018Elvis\u2019 Priestly, said owners could be facing pricey repairs otherwise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0popular TV show\u00a0sees vintage vehicles restored to their former glory and sold in the hope of making a tidy profit.<\/p>\n Brewer said that vintage car owners should never leave their cars in the garage unattended throughout autumn\u00a0and\u00a0winter\u00a0in order to avoid having to fork out for potentially pricey repairs.<\/p>\n Brewer told\u00a0Express.co.uk: \u201cIf I don't drive them frequently and regularly they don\u2019t like it, they start to leak, they start to decay, the rubbers don\u2019t like it. It\u2019s simple things.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019ve got a classic car, now's the time to talk about this coming into winter.<\/p>\n \u201cLots of people will take their\u00a0classic cars\u00a0and tuck them away in the garage and forget about them until the spring.\u201d<\/p>\n He advised owners should sit in their beloved car once a month and start it up, letting the engine warm up to normal running temperature and then let it cool down.<\/p>\n Brewer also said the doors needed to regularly opened and shut, because the rubber seals need to compress in order for them to remain supple.<\/p>\n If they aren\u2019t opened and shut regularly, they can dry out and decay.<\/p>\n <\/picture>WALSH’S WHEELS <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>ROAD RULES <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>PICK \u2019N\u2019 MX <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>PUSH IT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Classic cars can \u201csuffer\u201d from the cold winter months without getting regular attention, according to the experts at\u00a0insurance\u00a0company Carole Nash.<\/p>\n Fluids in the car, like\u00a0oil\u00a0and antifreeze can thicken in the cold temperatures which then could cause \u201cmultiple internal issues\u201d.<\/p>\n Batteries can also seize up due to the freezing temperatures and tyre pressures can also fluctuate when they\u2019re not being used.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a clever mum has shared what she calls her lazy driver parking hack for icy mornings.<\/p>\n Cathy Pedrayes, who goes by The Mom Friend on\u00a0TikTok, revealed the simple move that will make your life a lot easier during the winter months.<\/p>\n The\u00a0influencer\u00a0revealed that the key to success is how far along the driveway you need to park your car.<\/p>\n She said: "If you have a long driveway and it's going to snow overnight, park at the end of the driveway instead of close to your house.<\/p>\n "When you leave, you won't have to shovel as much to get out."<\/p>\n Cathy said you can use the same trick for your snow plow or blower.<\/p>\nMost read in Motors<\/h2>\n
