    Engine : 1.9CDTi

    Mileage : Lots

    Default What really dull thing have you done with the Vec today?

    Went out to start her before. Thought I'd get rid of the condensation at the bottom of the screen and give it a clean with the washers because it was filthy. Squirted the windscreen, watched the water freeze as soon as it hit the windscreen then watched the wipers pull what was left right over the windscreen so I had a uniform layer of ice all over.

    Ho hum.

    So, what really dull thing have you done with your Vec today?

    Left it in the Garage, where the ****** thing can stay until this snow goes away, I've never had a Car that behaves as badly in the White stuff in 26 years of driving!

    Should have used screen wash. I always carry a 'Fairy Liquid' bottleful of it ready to squirt onto the screen without using the wipers which will just spread the dust and dirt across the screen.

    I once (never again!) used the wipers on the motorway when it was -3 degrees. A true Homer Simpson moment.
