    I think the stint in Spain Re thinned my softy southerner blood! I did think I was coping with the cold a bit better but then realised it was just hot flushes! :)

    Being cold when I am driving helps keep me awake - I guess I'm at the age when I tend to want a little nap now and then (on the M6 is not good idea!)

    Same here. Unless my good lady is in the car, as she reckons anything under 5 million degrees Celsius is freezing. I have contemplated fitting a curtain length ways down the centre of my car, and then disconnecting the heater hoses on my side of the car.. :thinking:

    Top half? Left half?

    I’ve heard that you lose most heat from the head.
    That probably doesn’t apply in your case either! :rolleyes::)

    It being cold when driving a AirCooled vw, is better for the air/fuel mix.


    (Forgive me, I was sensible, there)...

    If this does happen, try heating them gently with a propane torch, then getting a pair of mole grips on them.
