Apart from all the obvious, like antifreeze and the like, consider a light spray of silicone or rubbber/nylon lubricant spray over your door rubbers so the damn doors don't freeze shut overnight!
And where are all the frozen carbs this year?

They've all been recycled and are now wrapped around baked beans.
There's not been a carb'd car for sale in this country for 11 years since the introduction of cats, with one or two very brief exceptions.
The message from "George Spigot" contains these words:
That's what prompted me to mention it. That and someone in another place has just bust a doorhandle!
The message from Adrian contains these words:
Mind you - I've seen it happen to the throttle bodies of single-point injection cars, too. I notice the wife's Clio has a stove and crappy little hot air hose from it to what serves as a carb.

Throttle body injection...
Yeh, forgot about those abortions.
My frozen carb is under "sorn" at the moment (citroen axgt with twin solex and k and n .. meaning its pre-heat system has been removed).
7 series .. dual valve springs .. needs loads of torque just to turn its own camshaft over + loads of torque to haul its ass up the road = loads of excess heat generated quickly from the engine on those cold mornings!!! Totally civilised.Join the Discussion
