ok so got in the car to drive home from work and noticed the external temp was reading -26, its not that cold outside, so restarted the car it then read -10, so jumped out and pulled the fuses, left it 5 minutes and plugged fuses back in, started up and it now read -16 so started driving home. the temp got to -15 so rose 1 degree. is it just the thermister gone caput? could anything hidden be linked to this?

The club has hammers? Why haven't I got one?

Maybe putting one of Demon's knobs near it will warm it up ?

I have wd40 .. Although the little red straw thing is pretty useless since I made it into a stickman.. Last time I bought duct tape I got very strange looks .. Hammer no Sad I use the heel of my shoe, my big metal spoon or a pebble usually

Pebbles are good. Don't use bricks tho as they tend to break up
Can't use a spoon as its part of a matching set

You think you get funny looks for buying duct tape???
Imagine the looks I get when I use my heels!!!
