majik_thighs Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Just had a rather large hail shower (actually hail only falls in summer, in winter they are ice pellets) maybe we`ll get some snow later. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Lucky buggers up north. I don't see anything bar rain here. Just spent 3 hours trying to get an astra with a naf starter motor started. It draws power as the lights dim but not a bean of start.

mfnick Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 We had quite a lot in Sheffield last time, think we'll miss it on this occasion since it's not even showing signs yet. Mind you, even last time I didn't get out much. Too worried about other people in normal 2WD cars who can't even drive in a bit of rain losing control and hitting my car.

Scoobyghost Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'll do the it all except cambelt. I owned a fiat for 6 years so I have a personal mechanic. He can do the belt. It's a bit important for me to be playing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_gr7 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Nipped to Richmond today, loads of snow up on the hills there. Great fun in the legacy. Was driving on an untreated road, covered in compacted snow and ice. The leggy didn't slip once was firmly planted to the road. The sat nav took me down a very sleep cobbled lane and still not a single slip. Those winter tyres were certainly worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R4WLV Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Received my clay Cloth this morning so that's a job for Friday now, unless it snows. By the way, my drive is 1:7 with a tight 90degree bend at the bottom (so no run up to get out) I hate snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Mate you'll have no problems, Today I've been mainly driving around here Although the main road is clear nothing else was and the only time I had a slight problem was going down as 16% hill and the abs kicked in. Apart from that she only got out of Shape when i wanted her to [emoji51] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
