COLD --- yes very :shock: I don't use antifreeze in the Stylus , only the waterwetter and ZX1 , so put the cover on last night and piled old wax jackets etc on top . Had no problems last year with freezing in the shed. I've got a bucket of water by the doors to alert me but not even a thin skim yet :wink:

6 inches of snow and a drift against the garage door mean no work on the car for me today. Very picturesque with the blue sky earlier but it's dark and grey now so more on the way I think.

I'd substitute ' lightweights ' for ' older and colder ' :lol:

Well in Cambridge it's lovely and sunny. We haven't seen any of the white stuff for a couple of days and the temperature was a balmy -1 degrees C on the way to work this morning!

doesnt antifreeze help stop your engine internals from corroding?

we (Essex) had a couple of inches on monday night but none last night, expecting more tonight. Its just annoying already..............
Help! just starting out

Edit: Getting the hang of it............. Slowly

Tony , I don't use antifreeze because it negates 50% of the waterwetter advantage . Also it claims internal errotion protection as does ZX1 . You're thinking of my crack in the cylinder head presumably :?: always a risk when a lot of porting is done :roll:
