Had to do an unplanned excursion at 0230 this morning and, even though it was a bit sleety, car handled it with ease.. it was 3oC so need a sub-zero drive really before necessitating the winter tyres purchase; purchase case looking less promising tbh as SE England doesn’t see to get enough EXTREME cold weather..
@ Ascender - Dakar or M3T day for you?

Repeating myself, but (whilst they don't "feed" the rubber as well) I think the little clear silicon shoe shine pads are even better than gummi pflegge for preventing the glass adhering to the door seal. Bonus that they are £buttons.

That's an interesting tip though Gummi Pflege isn't expensive and lasts for years. Though I'm not sure where mine is so just ordered a new Liqui Moly one from eBay for under £6 delivered:

If you can stick it in with some other bits to get above the 'free delivery' limit (£35 these days) it's under four quid on Amazon.
Clicky ma linky
Just as a one off buy though, eBay is cheaper given Amazon won't do anything other than Prime or £5 next day delivery for something so small...
Cheers Beany - wish I'd bothered checking Amazon.

A bit of cold and it seems like every twat has forgotten how to drive. My 45 min commute took 1h20mins yesterday due to three separate accidents. Today I followed a big suv who did 35mph on all of the nsl sections, with occasional drops to 25.
I dread to think how bad it would be if it had actually been slippery, or god forbid, proper snow!

Same here. Had some propper snow but thanks to the gritted roads they’re clear. Not that some people think that
Also a fun game today of who doesn’t check their mirrors by all the snow covered rear windows
