    Default 35 mins!!!

    From the moment I put key in to when I could drive off.

    First off is was Iced up like a whore.

    Managed to de ce locks and doors, and get car running till it as warm.

    Then foolishly I left my handbrake on, so it had fozen on the rear discs and pads. not budgin got 20 mins, ended up bucket of hot hot hot water and throwing it on each wheel, It workd pretty much expect one side slightly still on. Managed to drive to work with a burnin smell, either clutch burnin from stopping the car stalling, or the handbrake burning on the brakes at the back.

    Ah They Joys of a fiat,

    Honest its going in new year, Ill get a real car !

    My 11 yr old BMW opened & started on the button without any drama what so ever, drove to Tescos to get some milk and back without a hitch and it's not been used in about 2 months! Infact to give the battery time to charge up I think i'm going to use it to drive to Brussels on NYE for a party!

    Maybe next time you will take the advice of the forum and choose a decent car
