Had trouble getting into the car this morning because all the doors were frozen shut, and the ice scraper wouldn't shift the hard ice on the windows. Still started up and ran OK though!
Given I'm not yet ready with the installation of the bio plant I can see me ending up on diesel...

Annoyingly having just repainted the steel storage tank in the picture above, ready to install - it frosted overnight, so I'm hoping the paint cured enough before the ice settled on it...

This stuff is the kit for frozen doors.

Takes any rattles and squeaks out too.
Got all the rattles and squeaks out of my Xsara, and that's a really rattly and squeaky kind of a car.

Do you think it'll work on my Series III Land Rover? It rattles from everywhere you can think of.

I'm now picturing a sheep dip style ditch filled with the stuff for landrovers to drive through!

they`d get stuck on the hill on the other side

The only cure for a Landrover is a Landcruiser..........

You can't cure the Land Rover you need to cure their owner.

Not at all, what I was trying to say is they get in your blood like no other car I've owned.
My A4 is a great car, but its just a car, the Disco was more than just a car to me.
Hell, I would not of had so much fun driving anything else, was sad to see it go.

Clears lump in throat!

Clears lump of rust from throat.
The only cure for a lawnroamer is a crusher.

No it's not
It's spending most of next summer chasing rust pixies away from the body mounts with a mig welder.
-
thought transits were the vehicle of choice for people wanting to play chase the rust bunny with a MIG
-
No ... Land Rovers have been depositing iron oxide all over the world since 1948.
-
Who's landy bashing now then.
-
Just pointing out a tradition of the marque ... a tradition of which I'm proud to be a part.
-
Not all LR products reduce to dust the moment the words "road salt" are muttered, the P38 Range Rover has a very rep for NOT rusting.

Never mind the paint, hows about getting a power washer on those bricks.

Don't do that, it'll make the forthcoming bio stains stand out.

I read that if you power wash them then you blow away the packing sand allowing organic detritus to accumulate instead which leads to weeds weeds and more weeds. So I'm wondering about that - given they already have moss growing perhaps that doesn't matter :)
-
You will blow the sand out with a pressure washer.
You need kiln dried sand to go back in, and the joints have to be perfectly dry, otherwise the sand gets damp and wont trickle into the joints.
It's a heat wave kind of a job.
The other alternative is get on your hands and knees with a scrapper, and scrape the moss out.
There is even a proper tool for such a thing.
Truthfully, there is probably not a great deal in it, time wise.
Maybe pressure washing with a jet is a bit quicker, and more pleasant, but then you can end up leaving streaks on the bricks, which looks unsightly.
Other alternative is some kind of scrubbing attachment for the pressure washer, but then your talking more money, and you'll probably have to re sand it anyway.
I'd scrape it off and re-sand, myself. Done it loads of times, for other folk.
It's surprising how quick you can clear it, once you get into the swing of it, just plays the back up a good bit, I find.
'Oribble job..........
