It is when weather is like it has been that you can discover how well your car has been maintained or not! ::) ;)

if your battery is at all dodgy, then this weather will find it out.   Are you doing long enough drives to charge it up? (bearing in mind you will no doubt have lights, and heaters going full blast..?

my bro has had his lexus for over 2 years with no fault at all but a cold snap a couple of weeks ago killed his battery while he was at work during the day

that ten flashes could actually be 1 and 19 making 19 which is the crank sensor!
which would stop it starting... meaning its on the way out
