Winter approaches, what preparations will you make?

[Col Lamb]

I do not have Winter Tyres but over six years of Macan ownership in the snow the roadholding is not a patch on the four wheel drive Jag that I had which had Summer Tyres fitted, so I just slow down and take it carefully in the Macan.

Jet wash underneath whenever I clean it.

Top up screenwash with Winter spec fluid and fill a 500ml bottle with the same stuff to go in the boot.

I carry a bottle of oil in the boot.

Bottle of defroster.

Torch

Make sure my tyre repair kit is still in date (I do have a spare so its belt and braces for me)

Tyres have only done 2k so no issue but I increase the frequency of thorough checks.

I have a spare fleece, hat, gloves, scarf, shoes, and rain coat in the car.

Always carry at least three bottles of water and a couple of breakfast bars

Then there is the dogs stuff.

Get yourself a sled and you can leave the car at home whilst giving the dog more exercise

[Tracky]

Lots of logs and a guard dog

Get yourself a sled and you can leave the car at home whilst giving the dog more exercise

The are problems with that:-

Our dog will take off like a bat out of hell if a cat shows itself.

She is only a whippet and gets bored easily.

She will spend ours going from bush to bush having a good sniff of each.

Her favourite walkies route has steep steps and in Winter a raging brook at the bottom of the steps so you guess the outcome.

I will get hyperthermia sat in the sled.

Isn’t a whippet the 2.0 of the dog world

[Jon A]

These two make it impossible to put them in the Macan (hence dog car) as they will actively seek muddy water or ditches to explore at every opportunity!
