Got a friend on another forum who's car was seemingly dead during a recent cold snap (She's just to the right of Edinburgh) then t'other day she posted this....
"Just to update you - my car isn't dead, it apparently has an automatic shutdown mechanism for when the temperature falls below -15 which it did on 3 nights last week. "
Now I've not come across that before, seems a bit of a strange to me, surely that would rule out quite a few places where such cars could be sold?
