They said that cold start -30c is same you drive 600miles, same wear for your engine. Battery must be in A1 condition to provide...

    Tyres and winter.

If there is only water raining and plus celsius it is autumn ;) You cannot use studded tyres in UK, so then you have to buy friction type winter tyres.. If you want best...

    Tailgate Rust & Perforation Warranty

    That radiator subframe price is only approx 200£. In finland they told me that is not part of the body and it is not covered by anticorossosion warranty. My car service history was perfect, 11 stamps from dealer. Still no luck with boot rust or radiator support rust.
