I think Simon's just doing his part to discourage any more people moving to the Great White North!
: )
Take care of yourself Simon.

Years ago they used to sell paraffin heaters that you could sit under the engine in the winter. Of course if you had even a slight fuel leak it was a recipe for disaster. I like the idea of an electric block heater.
On another topic, Formula 1 engines can't be turned over at all when they are cold as the tolerances are so small. They have to be preheated before any work can be done on them. Just a random fact for you.

Didn't know about battery warmers - do you just leave them on all year round or just put them on for winter? Do batteries even suffer from overheating? Would it even be a problem in our 2 weeks of non-winter.....Simon
Its like a small blanket that wraps around the walls of the battery..Top and bottom are left uncovered..
There`s a plug on it similar to a lamp..
During the summer you leave it on the battery unplugged..
That way it`s ready for the next winter..
You`ll find the car starts up nicely during winter months with a battery warmer..

bsmart......Lets give Simon a bit of space! Poor guy. I got super sick this week myself. No brain can function properly when feeling so awful! Sleep, sleep and more sleep, and mindless TV when you can't sleep. ;-) That is what Simon needs to focus on for a while. -

Hi Simon, flu sucks, I've also been ill, had 3 colds in 3 months. What happened to the .net site. Was struggling to log in and got stuck a few times. Hope all the regulars here are doing well. -

Simon, please don't worry about all of us, just take care of yourself and get some rest. Pretty sure we'll survive without updates for a bit. :D -

Simon, you can get a block heater installed quite easily. You'll need an extension cord for it, as you plug it in overnight to keep the battery from freezing. You just leave it in your car all year round since it only works when it's plugged in.
Hope you feel better soon.
