hi guys, after bonce's helpful post about ice-driving, i was just wondering if there is anything else i can do now to prepare for the cold winter months?

any recommended tips to keep the car going?

cheers,

Keep using it to avoid the battery going flat.

Make sure your coolant is the right mixture so it doesn't freeze.

Check you washer bottle is full and has winter concentration of screen wash - check your wiper blade is in good condition

Go easy on with the right foot if it's damp and remember most B roads will be getting a nice coating of slippery leaves on them soon

Might be worth investing in at least a shower cap to stop water getting in if it's left outside - apparently a hardtop reduces the window misting problem.

Buy more jumpers and hat and gloves
