Anyone DIYed your own low temp screen wash? Isopropyl alcohol can be had for £17 for 5L. on amazon.

Yes but with industrial methylated spirit

That Prestone extreme linked to at Eurocarparts for £12.99 is £6 in Tesco

I hope to be wrong but the Tesco one is ready mix rather than concentrate.

On the other hand Carparts4less (in other words ECP 4 less) charged me £8 each or so for concentrate last week, delivered at ECP ut it was free delivery anyway if you buy enough. It is my go to.

Conversely, covering your windscreen in toilet roll overnight would probably stop it icing up.

I'm also assuming Tesco is selling ready mix.

None to be found in these parts. Have we been transported back to the Soviet Union?

I had minus 10 rated stuff in my VW passat last Monday when I was driving up the M74 to Glasgow in minus 10 temps (according to the car). Needless to say the washer jet lines froze, then the wiper motors packed up/froze. Had to stop 3 times on the hard shoulder to clean the car windscreen manually as I could not bloody see 😬😳

Bought 25litres of -20C stuff yesterday - nothing was available for miles around, so now have a lifetimes supply sat ready in the middle of Ayrshire

Temperatures going back up to 12ish tomorrow - am sure that's related to my purchase
