School boy error

[Christophski]

Have just gone out to the car to get something out of the glove box and it has been snowing all morning. We have a nice few cm's settled here. Im working from home today so the car is kinda white instead of the green it should be. Anyway upon opening the passenger door i forgot that snow gets sucked in as you open the door. Long and short I now have an S2 estate with snow all over the passenger seat and footwell.

Oh well. Good job I sit in the gogo seat!

I think we've all done it

[re2500]

Yep, did the same this morning!

At least you can open the doors on an avant when it's freezing

[Christophski]

I know when I had the coupe it was a mission. Was to scared of ruining the window some days to open the door

Yeah, rub it in then!

[Christophski]

Lol. Mind u my heater is fooked. No hot unless I boot it or stuck in traffic n bleeding it only makes it work for a few weeks. Roll on fitting the samcos n new matrix!

I'd get a new thermostat in there, sounds like it's not doing a very good job.

[Christophski]

Ok. Another thing to add to the list to do. May as well hit it all in one go. Then all thats left to fix is the central locking and diff leak and a service

I second that! Just had the thermostat done on the 2.0E Coupe and its nice n warm after 5-10min.....sweet!

Oh and we have 1 ft of snow on the ground and i can never open the locks or door. Have to go in through the boot...neighbours must think that the Auslanders are nuts! or nicking it!

That's a good one.
I am to lazy to clean the car and i open the dor slowly.After getting in i get the windows down till the point all snow is in the upper part sitting to drop in the car.I have a half of window clear )

[Christophski]

Ok so how easy / hard is it to do the thermostat? Also how much are they?

Thermostat is cheap, less than £20, £7 rings a bell, easy to change, how too on here or Mike's site.
