With such a great winter for us snow bunnies just wondering how everyone who has been heading up the snow has been going?
We've been up to the snow twice a week for the last month and every time we have had to dig the car out to go home. One time the Elante was totally covered with only the tips of the wipers showing. Apart from running a synthetic blend oil and some metho in the washer bottle it has started first time everytime. With a nice set of tight chains it has worked like a tractor both up and down the mountains despite the snow clearing not keeping up with the snow falling. The heater warmed us quickly and the air-con is demisting the windows without a problem. Only thing we did the other day was shater the wiper motor broke all its mounts and it fell into onto the dizzy cap damaging the rotor button, took about two minutes to diognose and fix.
