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...

My thoughts entirely, and put much better than I could.

My vehicle has a 3 rating mainly because it doesn't have the so called safety features, or all 'driver aids' . This doesn't necessarily mean it's an unsafe car, merely that the system of car safety is skewed in favour of the electronics rather than the driver taking responsibility.

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...

I can't believe the disc material is so poor that it has corroded in so short a time. Much has been made of regen supposedly making the brakes more or less redundant, but I defy anyone not to use the brakes on a journey, even once would remove any surface rust. Unless a vehicle has been...

I thank my lucky stars that the independent guy I go to is totally honest, which is why I've been with him over 40 years- yikes, where's the time gone???

I wouldn't pay that much for a high end car on principle.

'Course we 'ad it tuff! We 'ad ter get up 'alf an hour before we went ter bed, pedal push bike wi' Millar dynamo ter charge t' motor until legs were worn down t' knees, push EV ter work 'n' back an' wen we got 'ome our Dad an' our Mam would thrash us ter sleep wi' charging cable IF WE WERE LUCKY!

One thing's for sure, in a real emergency the Great and the Good will leave us poor sods to fend for ourselves ?
