I am thinking of trying to get a foil blanket or something to put under the bonnet for the rest of winter to see if that helps a bit.

Replaced the battery on the Scenic the other night, went okay considering it was dark. The biggest problem was the bonnet catch froze hence bonnet would not latch. Had to pour hot water over the mechanism and cable in the end. It really is no fun in this weather!

Best getting it into a garage and get it traced from the plugs back so you dont waste anymore £££
