Had from -4 to -9 on my journey home at 2am... Incidently my hour and a bit journey took nearly 2 hours, just have to be so much more careful, although the M5 was ok so could sit at 80 safley enough.

Hehe the sensor is obviously broken, but we are getting -25 to -30 this week. The car drives along in neutral if you dont put on the handbrake. Makes scratching ice somewhat a challenge

Indeed, a diesel will double that, but have a third the size engine, half the weight, and be diesel!

Stu, why does your screen look newer than mine?
