First time I’ve seen the ice light flash this morning, it took me by surprise and I had to get the handbook to find out what it was! No actual ice on the road though, thankfully …

-9 registered at 7pm last night as the cars were fired up as a precautionary circulate. Goodness knows what it was at 3 am.
Not moved since Sunday. Attempted moving the BMW to get it up the drive couple of days ago. Just slithered down to the bottom. When it started sliding sideways towards the Masser I prudently gave up.
Daughter also prudently aborted her supplies visit when her 4WD Audi gave way en route.

I had an early start and left the house at -7
My Jag is throwing a wobble and according to the system I have 4 flat tyres and a fault on the diesel dosing system (what ever that is).

-8.7 at 0830. Climbing nicely ATM
Managed to get the Ghibli off the drive but effectively zero steering or braking at the same time. Left if much closer to our entrance road as I have a fighting chance of getting it out tomorrow and the house had started dropping lumps of ice on it.

Apparently none of the big boys make all season tyres in any of the sizes the car takes on the rear :eek::sad3:

Crikey! I'm having similar issues.
All three of our cars' dashboard warning signs are lighting up like Christmas trees in this subzero weather. Even the Volvo thinks it has an engine service issue! Predictably, the QP has thrown it's TPMS party trick into the mix. Hoping the eventual thaw clears these fault codes.

On a positive note Jag Assist have come to the office and are resetting things

Fabulous
Just got the BMW SUV off the drive and up onto the road. Mind it took 4 of us, shovels, a few kg of road salt.
And down Stanway Hill to Winchcombe. Achingly beautiful, but not as much as my ar$e after going ar$e over t1t
