the milk i was delivering would start freexing in the time it took to move it from a heated unit into the van. and would continue to freeze until they were completely solid and that was with the heaters on full blast.
you could hear the glass bottles cracking as the milk expanded inside them!

Goodness...i didn't even realise you could still get milk in glass bottles...:)

run some warm water from a tap into a plastic milk bottle, walk to the car & pour it on the screen, then get the wipers going. 10 second startup

AND NO IT WON'T CRACK THE SCREEN......think about it, you put your heater on and that doesn't crack it....

No more than lukewarm water or you may crack the screen dependant on how cold it is outside, and err do you sit and wait till your engine is at running temp before turning your blowers on?


No you dont, you turn them on and they blow cold and gradually warm up and the screen warms up gradually too, hence no crackage, if you left your screen frozen over and let the heaters get to full temp then bang em on full you might risk cracking the screen like in the advert but i dont know anyone that does that:p

Would be nice to go australia over the winter, have Christmas dinner cooked on a bbq next to the sea :) sounds my kind of christmas. Bbq turky and pigs in blankets, yum yum.

also if you have a chip it will go bang
