iced up

Or sliding on snow into a curb and busting your rear axle :down: but that was my old car. At the moment I have the joy of de-icing the car before work and again after :down:

ok this morning was an exception. i drove down to london last night for friends bday. was forcasted -4 on night.
6.30am tday got out to scrape ice, argh cant feel fingers. washers dont work cos they're frozen so had to drive up motorway without using wipers/washer but tis fine cos there's not much rain or spray. at one point i had to slow to 40, open window and squeeze a bottle of water on windscreen to clean it cos there was no service station for awhile to stop by with a mucky screen, was interesting. hit north east and snow's everywhere
twas only by the time i got home after 6hrs drive that the washers decided to work

Murphy's law i believe :laugh:
hmmm, due to the epic slammage, that doesn't look too epic in these pics
edit, i will add a few things weatherwise.
that car believe it or not is dropped 60mm less than a standard vitz (though the angle of the pics still make it look like a jeep) so my splitter is sometimes acting as a snow plough for the snow drifts in the middle of the road.
i also bought a new battery in the summer and it was of slightly lower CCA than the one i was removing, i never thought it would make a difference in reality, but the engine takes 5 to 6 turns before it starts the last day or two.
and you cant find it in the snow. you have to keep pressing the alarm fob until you hear beeping.
1.5 with little or no weight seems to spin its wheels in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, so i've had to take off in 4th a few times.

Hi, new to this forum, just picked up my Micra 3 weeks ago. K11 on a N plate, great car. Got about foot of snow at my place, been the only one in my estate who didnt get stuck. Was only going to the keep the car over winter but i have grown to love it, so not going anywhere now!:laugh:

no pic leee222 ??
WD40 in the lock. If it still freezes, carry a lighter about with you and heat the key up and wiggle it about in the lock a few times to melt it.
you can work engine oil in there after, that should solve it.
