He drove it a few mile before temp went into the red, then had to park it up and leave it a while for the now warm engine to defrost the coolant lol

Very weird mate!! I ventured into the town in head to foot high viz overalls wearing a safety harness at about 6am one morning before heading home, everyone was looking at me like a fecking weirdo lol lol
Could understand if I didnt have a LWB Welfare van next to me plastered in reflective shevrons & a mobile disco of roof lights/rear door strobes/front corner strobes all flashing away lol

-9 i had on the temp reading before about 9.30 and had +10 12.30 this afternoon lol

ours keep doing that due to a bad installation. the condensation drain pipe hasnt got enough of a run off so freezes. which means the water trap fills and cuts the boiler out. worth a check on yours instead of sitting there freezing
It got to minus 13 up here last night, we're on the top of the hill so we seem to get it worse than everyone else. Gets hotter in the summer tooso its not all bad lol
This morning, the inch of milk I left in my glass overnight was solid. Thank god for electric blankets! I still dont have running water :(

TBH its not bad at all, the log burner makes it proper sweltering in here, and the leccy blanket keeps us comfy at night. Its just the water freezing up thats really getting on my tits at the mo.

I had -7 when I left for work at 7am, it was -2 when I exited work at 1pm. Pretty cool.
I'm a delivery driver for Sainsburys, I'm having a blast driving round the lanes & moors at 20mph. 2 of our vans are stranded at the same place, one since Wednesday & another this morning. comical.
