Had a problem today which I am hoping was just a frozen lock. I washed the car yesterday but had driven it before night fall. It was a cold morning around -3 deg C when I came out to go to work. I blipped the remote and the door un-locked, I opened it to get my scraper but when I tried to close the door it just bounced back on the rubbers. I did not want to start slamming it as this was 5.30 am but try as i did it just would not catch.
I started the car and came in to look for a torch (which I could not find) then went back out to have another go. After a few heavy pushed it caught on the latch and has been fine all day.
So I am thinking that maybe the catch was somehow frozen open although it has worked fine at much lower temps. Its booked in for a service next week if it goes again they can look at it, but that wont help me drive the car.
Ive never had this happen in a car before though, any one else had this.
