I went off the AA after having to call them out to my Omega. I had to give the AA guy one of my spare fuses for his van

Third time I have seen ice on car glass in last few weeks.

It must have been cold overnight as the handles on my 45 were frozen in position.

I have the door seals stick, but never handles that didn't move.

Decided it would take too long to defrost, so walked to work.
