Freezin & deice-ing

[stevenet15]

im not feelin this cold weather its freezin, just took a dump in the garage toilet and the poo was so hard i recon u could use it as a brown crayon lol

what does everyone use to deice there cars? i usually use very very very ever so slightly warm water over the windows and locks, clears it in seconds. never had a screen crack yet from doing it and been doing it 8 years with no probs just make sure its only just warm i mean like jsut a few deg over cold

I lol'd hard at the first bit lol

but you need to use onoly slightly warm water, no doubt some numpty that passed this year and aint experienced it yet will boil a kettle for the windscreen :y:

I just use Halford wash jet stuff thats got anti freeze. Works a treat for me :y:

[Graeme]

im a real man and scrape

[Liamm]

This will be my first winter experience driving. I already knew you had to use slightly warm water anyway but my dad text me yesterday morning saying don't use hot water xD He leaves for work at 7 and I leave for college at about 8.20. This morning was alright, just rained. Not looking forward to having to scrape shit loads of ice off my car :n:

[Si-Gore]

The car hasn't frosted over enough yet, least not bad enough it takes me 10 minutes to de-frost it or scrape it. But i usually just use supermarket de-icer.
Last year in my old punto it was that cold the damn key snapped in the lock :panic: and before that the door froze shut LOL

I don't think it's that cold this year, seems pretty warm tbh

[Powellyboi]

My doors froze shut at least 3 times last yeah. I go out to the drive, start the engine. Take the key fob off, put the heaters on full and lock the door with the car running. then head out 5 mins later to no ice on the windows and a warm car! :)

[Dom]

Can't use Anti-Freeze on the Landrover, creates a weird glaze across the window and its literally impossible to see anything.

[TomT]

I just piss on it tbh

[titchster]

In the winter? hahahaha.. I have too much respect for it than that! Wouldn't dare after my Saxo accident lol

my petrol cap froze shut last year. embarassing!!
but i do what you do, leave the key in and lock it with the fob. do the same when delivering!

[henry-vtr]

I got my scraper out this morning

[kc-saxo]

Lick the windows

[adam19]

I got my scraper out this morning

same here- was 10mins late for work:y:

[M1VT]

not been cold nuf fyet but im sure HMS passat's heaters will do the trick,and a can of de icer

[RossRog]

cover it the night before life it off in morning! sorted

[bald24]

Just leave car running with heaters on full whack for 5 minutes. Car runs smoother when you drive off and its warm and clear screen :D

[Scott-jarvis]

Scraper and the heater is good enough !! And Ive never had a problem with pouring boiling water straight out the kettle on my windscreen, lol

[Meto]

Be a man and scrape it! Put some elbow grease into it and you'll be fine. I don't fart about with de-icer etc, just a waste of money IMO.

[Liamm]

gf's stepdad took the scraper to his works van the other morning, gauged it all out xD

[SnakeVTR]

Warm water FTW tbh :P , and its nearly free, unlike the rip off de-icer :y:

[Rogue_Shadow]

I press the button for the heated Windscreen
It's hard work this time of year :P

[SteveH]

im a real man and scrape

lol, jokes

[MiniGibbo]

Good old can of de icer, waters shit soon as you set it it refreazes..

[blackie_2k5]

use water or de-icer from work, weve got a fleet of vans and im a driver, so theres an abundance of extra large tins of unipart de icer, normaly wayyyyyyyyyyy more then needed for the vans(there has to be as we all "borrow" some)

[Meto]

Don't want to burst your bubble but you'll see in time the elements in the screen will damage. So when you turn it on you will be left with vertical strips of ice/condensation where its not working. Happened to both of our mondeos :oops:.

[Rogue_Shadow]

Crap it's a ford and all lol
Have to wait and see I guess :y:

In your defence, your car is pretty new IIRC, so you shouldn't have any problems yet.

[Moke]

I use de-icer and a scraper.

Failing that, my own piss.

[Rogue_Shadow]

If it fails
I'll remember this thread as I slave away with ice scraper :D

[lemon191]

usualy just scrape the windows and just use deicer on locks etc where nessesary takes minutes to do so why waste like a 5er a bottle.. but warm water seems useless as it just freezes again if you dont get moving quick enough

[Liam]

Wipers on full blast. Then drive with a minimal gap to see through.

[0rang3peel]

I use de-icer & also sometimes use warm water although obviously this can shatter the window but I'm solid & it hasn't yet.

[kristel10589]

I use a heated windscreen :D On my old sax i just used water or de-icer

[lemon191]

ive done this before lol also driven along arm out the side window spraying deicer on the window haha

[Reechard]

Whatever I have on hand. I dont have the rear heating screen wired in and no heaters in the car. Its bloody freezing with the holes in the bulkhead too.

So lots of layers and hat and gloves in the car. Oh well car is only on the road for another week or so then its working on it in the cold :(

[deans2k8]

fuck it...pair of shades on window down....ace ventura'ing it baby :P

[SAM-S44MDS-]

I have a remote start :D

So I leave my heaters switched on when I park up at night. In a morning go to the window start the car and leave it running to warm up and defrost windows :D Car locked and keys in pocket, sit down and have a brew :D Dont even need to go out and faff with scrapers :y:

[D--R--E--W]

Lick the windows

It's not a yellow bus with square whels we are talking about Kyle...:S

Exactly what I been wanting for ages.

[Pixie]

Heated Windscreen FTW :D

Don't really like using de-icer doesn't it rot the seals or summit <--- might just be a myth :err:

[SAM-S44MDS-]

Do it. It's ace in winter :y: but you can't beat being stood with your mates and when someone walks past your car, or looks in it, just start it :fcuk:

Never gets boring :D
