Bit of a frost hollow at the Dunfermline Asda.
Crikey some of those are cold...drove home (to Malvern) from Swindon late last night and it was -9C. And both cars said -11C at around 8am this morning.
Don't fancy riding in it tbh.
We rode regularly in -5 last winter (and as recently as this Sunday) but there's a limit!
I'm really curious as its just never been that cold here in that London. Do cars start OK or is it causing grief? I mean with newish, otherwise reliable German and Jap stuff not 15 year old Rovers! Presumably in countries with reguar -10 temps the cars get a winter prep service but not in Derbyshire I suspect.
A "winter prep service" - what's that? These sorts of temperatures are relatively once you get north of Watford. Cars seem to handle it just fine - as long as folk aren't stupid with the lights/heater etc.
It seems most cars start without much problem - as long as the battery is in good condition. I'll try my 20 yr old volvo at the weekend - it's not been run for over three weeks but I've every confidence it will be fine......
Had to have new battery on my transit last Monday, which is three and a half yrs old, pretty piss poor to be fair. It was completely shagged!! That flat it even lost the key code for the stereo! Also a pain in the arse to fit as it's under the drivers seat and requires the finger dexterity of a watch maker not a builder to refit!!!!
a mate of mine does a lot of business in Mongolia, he's been out in -56c
