Bit nippy down here
« on: January 03, 2017, 05:07:08 PM »
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.

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 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.

No ... Land Rovers have been depositing iron oxide all over the world since 1948.
