My premix is supposedly effective down to -25. What is worth remembering is the wind chill factor as the fine spray hits the windscreen. A liquid might stay fluid in a container, then freeze in the screen when used. Yep, I found out the hard way!

It seems strange that you need the rear pads/discs replaced as it is usually the fronts that go first, or have they already been replaced?

Very much so, particularly in the areas where banks/ airlines have been less than cooperative. I guess you'd have to be a member as I am, but anything us worth a punt. When folk are paying good money from their hard earned this sort of behaviour needs nipping in the bud. Naming and shaming if...

Are you a member of Which? magazine? It's amazing what results they can achieve with non cooperative entities.

I once started running out of petrol in my company car(a big no no as I didn't pay for fuel!) up an incline. However, using the choke(remember those???) I crested the rise, descended at a considerable rate of knots downhill in neutral with enough momentum to ascend the next hill and freewheeled...

Went out in my Zero electric motorcycle, arrived at my destination with 52%. Plenty thought I as I've run it to 0% and still done 5 miles in the past. Not on this day though! Started pushing 3 miles from home which on a very hot day in leathers is particularly unpleasant, until I had a...

Can you remove the fuse which controls the wipers?

Some days you just can't win! Brilliant, and I'll bet it floats too?

Every time ?? No, actually I would be standing by the vehicle, or better still if I was rich enough I'd have a 'body'guard????

I've parked with a clear space either side and STILL some .....body will park along side when other spaces are available. Still, when I get my Bazooka back from it's annual service.......

Excellent, although a shower of dye would be an improvement- but what colour???

I think it's called humour -or something!

I had some t**t put a dent in the coach line of the first brand new car I'd had for over 30 years two weeks after purchasing . You can imagine the expletives involved- not that the culprit was found of course. Now today some careless Pratt has put blue paint on the rear door handle of our 7...
