Deajam Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) Change your anti freeze and screen wash to winter concentration.(So they don't freeeeze)Make sure your battery is charging correctly and is topped up with fluid.(The cold can flatten your battery quickly and you will be using more electricity with lights, heaters, demisters etc.)Fit steel wheels with thinner tyres.(Cut through the snow and slush better)Make sure your EDL works. (May get you out of trouble)Raise your suspension slightly.(Your front bumper isn't a plough) Edited September 24, 2010 by Deajam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsley-Arosa Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Rub vaseline into your door seals to stop them from freezing shut Check all the usual stuff.

REDLooP Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) Rub vaseline into your door seals to stop them from freezing shut Your ever so slightly starting to worry me - fit std steel with snow tyres, work well until u meet a 5ft snow drift (know from experiance)- layer up with a hard waxes like collernite, then dont wash it till march - Copper grease every suspension bit know to man..abit over the top, but i do live in a place that last year the loop was stuck for 2months in snow Edited September 24, 2010 by REDLooP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
