Autumn leaves and winter shoes

[P R]

Has anyone had the issue of fallen leaves getting stuck in the grille on the Ghibli? They are a right pain to get out!

Also, with the weather having taken a turn for the colder I have booked it in to fit the winter shoes I had previously bought. On the cold mornings of late I have noticed a distinct lack of traction!

Yep my winters are going on this week. As for leaves same issue on any car with a big mouth.

I have cleaned the mouth out and the winters are now on.. so cue the mild weather!
Ride has improved noticeably. Economy was also better on this mornings commute, up about 10%, I will check the tyre pressures later

You don't have a Black Ghibli and work on Seal Sands do you - Pulled out behind one last Friday from the Ineos entrance.

There is another Black Ghibli parked up near Belasis Industrial Estate just after Johnson Matthey.................

Yes, leaves are a pain. Must keep them out or they may turn into mulch and start to accelerate corrosion, particularly of the radiators and host connectors etc. Any 911 owner will tell you that leaves have caused them to need new rads and/or air con condensors.

Winter tyres been on for about 6 weeks now. The ride is transformed. The looks are not (i'm using 18s for the winters instead of the 21" summer rims).

Yes, it was damp tree foliage that sat, festered & rotted the bottom of my rad on the GTS - something to be aware of for sure

I have the blu emozione colour, but I do work on Seal Sands. I have previously seen a QP down there somewhere, not ever seen another Ghibli

Put mine on last week and the car felt so much more sure footed, temp was 7-10c. Colder up here today!
