whats it like near you?

Up here its now sunny, it was sunny for a while yesterday then it was a clear night, so the frost was out in abundance. Thankfully the 16V with its no anti-freeze didn't freeze. I have the thermostat so will rectify that today.

Its bloody freezing all the time now though.

cold here but I nbeed to swap the stat and get some anti-freeze in the beast.

i was contemplating doing an oil change but sod lying on the cold wet ground!

tryign to find a new die grinder at the mo, they ain't cheap unless you have a compressor but I don;t plus you get frostbite with air powered grinders.

Not looking too bad down here, been to the scrappy to get boot carpet for the 16v, washed the TD (its red under there!) and sorted the problem of the flat tyre.
