Damn thats cold!

[Bramley]

I knew it was cold this morning but this was a surprise!

The cold weather managed to reset my on board computer, freeze my gearbox and ruin my exhaust mount, I also think some other bushes are fooked coz got some knocking now.

How has the snow and cold weather affected your car?

 

[SteveS Cup]

Starter motor is screwed but I can't move it to take it to my brothers garage to fix it!!!!

 

[harribo66]

The wipers go soooo slow even when on max speed.

Ignore the date, have not properly set up after disconnecting the battery.

 

[Clart]

-11 this morning - exhaust has starting knocking like fcuk

 

[Iain C]

-7 this morning. Big meg is fine. No new squeeks

 

[daydotz]

-4 wasn't to happy but it started once I got the snow off

 

[Moz168]

The golf has been leakin coolant so I had to top it up with water the other day and ain't had a chance to sort it. Frozen solid this mornin but I didn't realize it was frozen till the temp was gettin a bit high and it overheated on the moors this morning.

My battery is definitely getting lazy, other than that to be fair to the Clio it hasn't skipped a beat. And it's a 6 year old battery so I guess it's done it's time.

Having spent several weeks being a bit disappointed with it, I'm chuffed it's done so well in the crappy weather. Took me bloody ages to get out of my road this morning as it was just ice, but got there in the end and how awesome is the screenwash setup? Didn't even freeze in -8 this morning! I spent most of last winter with no screenwash as my old car froze up regardless of how strong the solution was! That sucked.

 

[freemo77]

my handbrake has locked on, anyone had it locked on so much they cant actually move it?

 

[Sam]

I think my wheel bearing has gone. Dont think the snow contributed to it though.

Sam!

 

[rich-6]

My cars sat on the drive this week, Living close to work and legs FTW

Moved it on Thursday though, fired up ok all fine bar gearbox oil being a bit thick

 

[Knuckles]

[Bramley]

It's a window wiper thing lol

[cleojackson]

[marc1330]

Washer pump has given up. £44+vat from renault hhmmm.......

 

[fUbAr]

I havent driven the A3 in 4 days. Drove into work this morning and it sounded like it was about to explode.

 

[kerry-w]

Mmmm black ice everywhere this morning, parked my car up in a hedge 100meters down the road and walked back up, good luck to the oil truck infront of me trying to get down the hill lmao

Parked your car in a hedge? Does that mean you crashed into one?

 

[kerry-w]

Wouldnt really count it, might have scratched the front bumper abit if that, not that it matters because the front bumpers cracked anyway lol. Safest place to leave it was the hedge, out of the road before the idiots at the top of my road belt it down there and slide!

 

[Wee Scamp]

Main issue I have is that the windscreen washers remained frozen up even after a 25 mile trip!! That's despite having put in the anti freeze stuff......

Anyone know if u can get a washer/nozzle heater kit for the 182?

 

[akaboogie]

petrol cap froz and took me about 10min to get it open and looked like a dick doing it as well in the npetrol station. other than that all good..

 

[JMR]

My washer pumps didnt work until the car had warmed up - didnt know if this was a safety mechanism?
All working fine now.

 

[Wests Renault]

No temp gauge in my 200 cup lol

No they just freeze.

My 172 developed a suspension knock as a result of the snow last year :dapprove: My MX5 has been spot on so far, except it wanting to go sideways everywhere

 

[Will.]

I'm scared to go in mine. It has been sat for about 4 days. Something is going to break on it.

 

[mr.valver]
