Nipped into Morrisons by work today and they had 2.5l of screen wash concentrate for 2 quid or 5l premixed for £2.50...

Don't forget Lidl has windscreen-wash in 5 Litre bottles that's good for -60degreesC!

And coolant anti-freeze tester/hydrometers.

Cheaper than anywhere else too.

Hi SV
On a previous thread you mentioned wiping windscreen wash onto the door seals to prevent frozen up doors - do you just wipe it on neat or diluted ? :)

Brack:
I used the Lidl -60 stuff undiluted. Better than Meths. Mrs SV doesn't like the smell of meths.

Daz:
I think it was £5 for the 5Litres. I poured in a good 2.5Litres right away and I'll perhaps mix the rest to make a -30 fluid.

Some folks are using vaseline, silicone grease, or rubber grease - which mud and grit sticks to - likewise cooking oil.

Mrs SV would be unimpressed getting that on her clothes. :rolleyes:

Hi to mrs SV, I can see who wears the troos lol
just put some w/wash on - goes on a treat I was a bit worried about it rotting the rubber though if undiluted

Ha ha! :lol: Mrs SV has a lot to put up with - we live in the country a couple of miles from the nearest tarmac, in what is often a 'sea of mud' at this time of year, and a fair bit of it gets in the car and on the side steps.

No grumbles with washing off 'clean' mud from clothes, cars, or even from me and our pets - but the line is drawn at getting grease stains off jackets, trousers, etc. ;)

I have been using the windscreen wash quite a bit of late salted roads..

That hydrometer will not work with the OAT coolant the plastic bit just floated on the top and reading with above 0 degrees C

Ok for the old blue stuff & screenwash only !
