Ticked weekly, but not usually that often for tyre pressures - but do have a quick look that none look flat.

When I had a small coolant leak I was checking about twice a day, nearly took over my life!

I selected 'Every now & again' as i only really do it when i'm heading off on a long journey / to a rally...

Headlights, and tyre pressures are what i'd check most regular. Coolant really only gets checked when i have the bonnet open for some reason.

R8NMG will become famous soon enough
Usually check tyres fortnightly and fluids weekly to fortnightly or before a long journey. Check bulbs about every 3 months or whenever I feel like it.
