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

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.

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.
