Re: Winters on its way.. - Pete - 13-11-2013

Don't have such luxuries as a temp gauge, have to de-ice the van afew Times though


RE: Winters on its way.. - Poodle - 13-11-2013

Both cars frozen inside and out this morning... Sigh...


RE: Winters on its way.. - Ruan - 13-11-2013

Fired up the bus this morning, jammed on the heated seats, waited for the air con assisted demister to work - felt like a bause.


RE: Winters on its way.. - Poodle - 13-11-2013

Smug bastard...


RE: Winters on its way.. - Ruan - 13-11-2013

I bet you it was one of the worst cold starts for mis-firing though, a combo of my parents doing short journeys etc and pootling round and never giving it bollocks has succesfully shagged the injectors...

Need a new set Sad

First icy morning for me. Pretty sure I have a glowplug down. Que a XUD just catching on the starter then a bit of misfire followed by a cloud of smoke. If I wasn't so late I would of found it entertaining.


RE: Winters on its way.. - Dum-Dum - 13-11-2013

My car was reading -3 on the way in for my last night shift. I haven't left the house in 2 days now though so I have no idea how cold it is.

RE: Winters on its way.. - LeeroyNI - 15-11-2013

I'm running B100 Biodiesel at the minute and I'm dreading winter. Going to be a nightmare to start the bus in the mornings!


RE: Winters on its way.. - lolsteve - 15-11-2013

A bit of 2 stroke will help out, it did for me last year when the bio hdi started to find itself starting a little slower in the mornings
