I looked out the window when I got up this morning and the cars are white with frost, the back lawn is white but the front lawn is frost free.

Just got the car out, it had been standing since Sunday night, when I started it up it sounded like a bag of nails, by the time I'd defrosted it it had settled down and was back to normal.

It was frosty here this morning, I had to start my wife's car and de_ice it. It is nice and sunny now with clear blue sky.

Mine does a lot of standing around, very rarely use it on my 4 off so can sometimes need a bit of persuading to get going on the first day back at work.
Plus it's quite old now (no offence hill wimp) could do with trading it in for a younger model really.

It might pay to take them on a bit of a spin in daylight to recharge the battery.

I used to do that when I cycle commuted almost all the time, otherwise it would have been standing for weeks at a time.
Oil drained from hydraulic tappets most probably.

I believe my car is dead - just clicks. Not been used in about a month - the wife did run it in early December, but that's it.. Will charge it, and pop down to the battery place in Stockport once I can get out and drive again.. I'll just need to keep it on a top up charge.

Longest mine went was 6 weeks without moving, was quite surprised when the battery was flat
I got the RAC out to get it started then gave it a bit of a run, been fine since and there doesn't seem to be any long term damage to the battery (got it checked in August)
Anyway can't stop here gassing, I have a mtb to get dirty (ok dirtier)

Mines thirteen years old, Hyundai Getz thirteen hundred, never had a problem starting it, I've had it almost two years now and its been very reliable.

Mine tends to do to many short trips, it always feels better for a long run.

Think my battery is on the way out. It was a little sluggish in the cold last year (again lack of use) so I was expecting it. They are only £50 from Advanced Batteries in Stockport.
