Never mind the fact that we would slide all over the road...but that's life in the Northeast USA.<br /><br />I'm thinking that bloke attire may be the better fashion statement in the winter, rather than cruising in style. Skirts, short or long, can lead to uncomfy drafts in un-heated ROW's, I suppose but, then again, how would I know?<br /><br />Calie xxxCaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280127011882954777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-33898607864366435452012-01-25T07:42:59.457+00:002012-01-25T07:42:59.457+00:00Morning all, and thanks for your comments.

As it happens it's a modern issue too, the plastic valves fitted to current VWs are I'm told notorious for failure.<br /><br />The Wreck passes its MOT because despite my description it's a sound car. :) And last April the heater was plumbed in. Water leaks aren't a failure.<br /><br />I'll pass on a mole wrench even though it would do the job. I am eyeing up those Minor items at more sensible prices though, wondering whether a copper flange could be soldered to a short piece of pipe in a reliable enough manner for the job.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-37645855976855429762012-01-24T01:42:17.250+00:002012-01-24T01:42:17.250+00:00The automatic climate control on my 76 Lincoln has...The automatic climate control on my 76 Lincoln has a mind of its own (actually has a rudimentary electro mechanical brain) at first it would reach the desired heating or cooling selected but instead of maintaining the temperature it would turn itself off. Just prior to winter it set itself on hot all the time....perfect for a Canadian winter. Perhaps I will fix in the spring.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991391285746762005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-86985275087536416932012-01-23T01:23:33.059+00:002012-01-23T01:23:33.059+00:00The heaters on my ld Singers always worked, but th...The heaters on my ld Singers always worked, but then singers were classy cars, many newer rides have let me down more often. Just like every other season winter has many joys to offer, we are so lckky to live in a Counry that actuall has four season rather than perpetual summer!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577631984995202146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-57747795568981183552012-01-22T19:00:35.206+00:002012-01-22T19:00:35.206+00:00Oh bad luck!

You can either boil, or you can boil with the fan blowing the hot air over you :)<br /><br />I don't know many drivers of Herald derived cars that drive in coats in winter - of course that could always just be Leicester drivers ;p<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-6955047090493866562012-01-22T18:51:43.188+00:002012-01-22T18:51:43.188+00:00Thirty years ago in that coldest of winters where ...Thirty years ago in that coldest of winters where the river and harbour started to freeze over we drove all the way through frozen britain in our then old VW camper van with no heating. Our drinks froze solid in their bottles but I was toasty warm in an ex WW2 flying suit. Highly recommended.<br /><br />When your wreck was born, heaters were still sometimes an optional extra!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-16177644322050518212012-01-22T16:28:21.025+00:002012-01-22T16:28:21.025+00:00How does the old wreck pass the MOT?
