Good morning. It's -20 ... reeeeally fine. I have Nokia Hakkapeliitta 7's on the original alloys and this far managed quite well .. soft snow is worse than icy roads.

Hello from Finland..this is my daily driver : http://picasaweb.google.fi/har.sanen/MGZTTV82004#
Owned it from June, it's been in Finland couple years.
Problems this far: water in the leftside floors, airbaglight stays sometimes on, quite poor aircondition/heating.. But it works really well although last week there was 25 below zero.

Hi Harri

Welcome to the collective, in answer to your problems, I believe some of the saloons have had water coming in through the boot causing wet carpets but I have not heard of this problem with the estate but someone may come along with an answer for you. The airbag light is a common problem caused by the connectors under the front seats, I have cut mine out and replaced them with spade connectors, I think others have soldered the cables. The air conditioning is weak and you have to give it a bit of time. If it sticks in either a high or low temperature speak to Black Olive (member here) and he will sort you out with a new heater valve.

Enjoy the car, there's lots of good info here and everyone is very helpful if you're not sure about something.

Thank you!
Wet carpets are now frozen . I also heard that connectors may cause the airbag problem (some BMW's too?).
May I ask about the wheels, is ET something between 45-50 ok? For summer I need other set..

Welcome to the family!
Yes, an ET of 45-50 is good, original ET is 50.
I keep mine in the garage during the winter cause of all the salt they throw out here in the south of Sweden.
