Re: Jobs in this cold weather
How to do jobs in the cold with no workshop or shelter? I dont do them and wait until summer lol. Unless its something that means i cant use the car, in which case that idea goes out the window.

Will be putting the wheels back on it late March, then MOT with oil and coolant change early April
After 6 months with battery disconnected, it started fine

Very nice Andy.
I went out in mine yesterday, that's the best 'job' I could ever think of

Re: Jobs in this cold weather
Nice dry and bright afternoon on Saturday so went for a drive over to Richmond - up the hill, round the park then back home.
Can't think this does any harm at all, warms everything up and drives off any moisture hanging around, gives the battery a charge too.

Car is looking nice Andy, so rare on our roads today. Fired mine up last month, hasn't been started since October, fired straight up. Need to tackle some mechanical jobs this year, waiting for warmer weather. . Hope to see your XR this year.andyd wrote: As it was dry and sunny I put wheels back on today

Re: Jobs in this cold weather
So 1st of March tommorow and I will not be going on my Capri trip to whistable . I can not even get our bus out on the drive .
Let’s hope it’s going to warm up and a early spring next week . Also that storm coming in looks madness all over the U.K. .
Keep safe

Re: Jobs in this cold weather
I pathalogically hate the winter and cold weather. I just cannot deal with it at all. Haven't done a thing to my cars in over a month. I ache all over, have pains in my joints and am struggling to function.
I was watching an episode of A Place in the Sun today and thinking I wish. Probably will in the future as I can't put up with it now at 55 so what I will be like at 75 I just don't know.

On top of the fact this country comes to a standstill after a few inches of snow that has been forecast Some Motorways and 'A' roads are a disaster, Airports closed.....What grit are they using FFS And drivers STILL having accidents on roads that are clear
Schools closed We only missed school in the 70/80's if the heating was broken.
And along with the Brexit F**K Up & Politicians, the country leaves a lot to be desired
What happened to GREAT Britain
Good job we own a
