Guy, you'll need the circulation pump retrofitted, but I'm sure you have done that anyway right?

Evans waterless coolant is rated down to -40 degrees so should be fine (I'm sure other alternatives exist too)

Just make sure the windscreen concentrate is rated low enough (some are -15 degrees which is not enough), for example this one http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/ca...7312&0&cc5_701 You won't need to use it in such temperatures, but you don't want the reservoir and hoses to freeze and split +++

Also make sure your battery is in good nick, as an old battery may work fine in warm temperatures but not when it's -30 degrees :)

Roof box - why hire when you can borrow?
 

Guy - feel free to borrow my roof rack if you wish, it's not being used.

it has the pump from factory +++ its a petrol Car with A Petrol Fuel burner and it heats the cabin very quickly so id imagine it has the pump,

Thanks for the link ! i have a trade account with ECP so i will get some of that in ready for the journey.

And Steve .. do you have a rack and box or just the rack ? and would it fit a D3 do you think if that id much appreciate that and im sure i could sort you a couple of beers " Or bottle of Vino "

I was stranded in Kristiansand once during one of our winter flying training exercises so wearing UK Army uniform with my Army Air Corps blue beret hitched my way north via Oslo to Hjerkinn.
Quite an adventure, met some really nice people.

The roof box is the same as - or very similar to - this:

I have two sets of roof bars: 1 D2 OEM (Thule) set, plus an old Thule generic set, which I had for my Volvo 850.

I'll have to find the keys for all of these tho'...:rolleyes:

You can buy thule keys online to order by the number on the lock far too easily... Sort of defeats the whole point, but made my 4 bike racks useable again +++
