BAZ2CRAZY Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Since the cold weather was set upon us, ive had a bit of trouble un-locking my car (using the key, not remotely).Any one else experienced it too?Mitch Quote
Idrees Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Yep, my N/A runabout did the same yesterday. Unlocked the boot and jumped in from there! Quote
BAZ2CRAZY Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Im glad its not just me... funnily enough i went through the boot today too hahaa. Perhaps the barrel has contracted slightly and the nice warm key in your pocket no longer fits?Mitch Quote
enots Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 same here until i filled the locks with wd40 and now my central locking works on the passenger side too Quote

Amjad Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Haven't got Central Locking De-Icer on the key does the job Quote
Craig_N Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 ^^the fucking basterds, i never use my V in the winter so i dont have that trouble It happened before i got the car all they did was brake into the car to get the locking nut and robbed the alloys but not bothered because it brought the price of the car down Quote
Maz90 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Been happening to me for the past 2weeks,but all 3 locks freeze and the fob only works when it wants too .I tryed de-icer in the locks but did nothing,had to pour warm water over them but then that just freezes and makes things worst. Quote

Sparky Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Funnily enough its just my door locks that I have trouble with. Boot lock never freezes so just open the boot and reach the door pin from the inside Quote
