Well.....
We bought a nice 56 plate Galaxy in October 2011,It was a 2.0 Ghia with Panoramic Roof,Heated /Cool Seats,CC,A/C etc etc.
Then on the early hours of last Boxing Day we had a phone call from the Police saying they'd found it wrapped around a tree about 7 miles from where we live......!!!!!
My lovely stepson had decided he would take it after we'd gone bed...Pissed he was.... :shock: :shock:
He ran off and left the Keys still in the Ignition....as he's immediate family and it was registered in the Mrs's name we couldn't claim on our Insurance as it was taken by immediate family thus meaning we couldn't claim...... :( :( :( :(
£8500 down the Swanny.................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now running around in a W reg Astra as my Mum in Law had a stroke on 2nd Jan and we're about 20 miles from the hospital and me Mrs go's to see her every day....so we were desperate for some Wheels...
Chuffin Great..... :(

I'm not sure where you can get it over here TBH,i made the mistake of filling my Reservoir before I left for my trip so after it unfroze in Italy I sat in a services with my finger on the screen wash button and wasted all my UK stuff so I could fill up with the -30 stuff which I bought in France but you can get it all over Europe.. :wink:
I did think about doint what another Forum member has done where he extended his washer tubing/piping and wrapped the extra around the Hot water hose.... :idea:
Only thing is I wonder whether the screen would crack if the temps got to low if I done the same thing.. :?:

I was in Denmark this time last year & bought some screenwash there in the local supermarket, brilliant stuff, even though it was -12C my washers worked all the way home. Stuff we get in the UK is crap.
