bought anything since last winter

I have just checked my sons van.

No anti freeze, fixed.

A timely warning for everyone, a couple of quids worth of antifreeze or a new engine/radiator/heater etc. Why risk it. check and top up people.

Agreed.

I helped dozens of people last winter who's cars had overheated.

They couldn't understand why - "It's freezing but the car is overheating"

That's 'cos your radiator fluid is frozen, so the engine isn't getting any cooling!
