FROZEN.....
the other half tried to start her 95 sti this morning but it never started, i had a look at it and noticed a few pipes had frozen solid, got a few hair driers in there for a few hours till everything was warm, now its all defrosted it wont start, what could be wrong? and what damage could have been done? thanks phil.

yes core plugs ive had them go before, the cam belt slipping a tooth was what i thought at worst case, i just wanted to see if there could be anything else, ill look tomorrow but i bet its that as its trying to fire for once then nothing else, thanks very much everyone.
