Cold weather
« on: 20 February 2010, 10:25:47 »
Last night, in temperatures of about -4 C, I tried getting in my car. The driver's door wouldn't open, or the front passenger door. I managed to get in through one of the back doors in the end and climbed into the front.

The lock tab on both the front doors had stayed down when I unlocked it on the fob and I couldn't even open the door from the inside - in the end a bit of a tug on the door tab meant I could open the door - but then it wouldn't stay closed!

After a bit of fiddling and locking and unlocking the doors a few times, the door held shut, but I hope I'm not going to have to go through this every time it's cold!

May be climbing in the boot tonight - anyone else have these problems in the cold?
