You used hot water to defrost your car?! Suprised you've got any glass left.

Remembered at 8 this morning when I went to go home from work that I've got ultra weak antifreeze in the car at the moment... Guess what I'll be changing tomorrow!?!

Don't use hot water! Quickest way to crack the screen!
I normally run water out of the hot tap before it runs hot so it's a room temp but if you don't get it off the screen quick enough it refreezes worse than before.
My screen was frozen on the inside this morning, I guess we've had so much rain recently the air is really damp.
I didn't have a chance to enjoy the cool air in the car but the forklift had so much power first thing this morning.

He says he used hot water to get into it so guessing he never used it on the windows

well yesterday my locks where so frozen neither the fob or the key would open the door, so 2 kettles of hot water later managed to get the door unlocked, so when i got to work got loads of metafluxteflon spray up into it, this morning, even colder, in no problem, started my car, as its boxed in by the pickup, went upstairs quick hit n miss, wash up, brush teeth, back outdoors, wipers on frost away, move pickup go:P

I hit the Disco's demist button, everything lit up and on full power! Left it running for 15 mins, screen cleared but took a while to fully warm up, typical diesel! Doors were okay, fob has a two button entry, once for drivers door, twice for all doors.
If we get a repeat of last years weather I have no excuses for not getting to work now!
