[A4] A4 Digest, Vol 62, Issue 5

[Jonathan]

Interesting that you reckon there is still a frozen part of the line you can't 
get to. Interesting still if you've taken the car for a decent drive and the 
heat of the engine hasn't defrosted it for you. Everything under my bonnet 
gets quite warm after a run along the highway, although the tarmac here is 
probably over 40 deg C itself in the middle of the day, so it may not be all 
engine.
