so whos had the coldest weather?
-8.5 on the display this morning with no notable problems so far. The door took a bit of a pull to convince it wanted to let me in and all the slush had frozen behind my wheels which took a bit of effort to reverse over. Anyone seen the display colder, just out of interest.......
 and anyone got any new problems popping up in the cold? My old alfa used to squeek once we had a -2 or lower, and the even older mondeo froze up it's washers at about the same but i haven't even got frozen washers yet  Last edited by Conan_the_Librarian; 10th January 2010 at 09:21 AM.

As for the uk, Mine was too at -8.5 this morning.... Yesterday it had been sat for 4 days in 7 inches of snow and took about 10 mins to convince the door rubbers to let go of the door and open, but once in it started sweet as a nut and pulled away perfectly....  What I would really, really (really) love to see is a 'hands on' demo of someone demisting their front screen with a heated screen... Never actually seen one in action as we always have had them in summer... vids anyone ??

That's quick for the amount of snow on the screen.
AND you don't have to freeze your knackers off trying to clear it. I normally don't have the time (patience) in the morning to wait for the blower to work! I liked Kids TV shot! Quality

i would say on a normal frozen morning it take about 20 seconds to defrost the windscreen but on some of these very cold mornings i have had to wait nearly 30 seconds
then i can go and play in the snow
