it's ruddy snowing heavily! so no sunbathing today!! bstd stuff!! and i put the adress of matts piccy an got a my web  search all in chinese???????                                                                                                                                                                             

Brilliant sunshine outside and as dry as a bone. Might do some tinkering with the bike.
Blooming freezing, though.                                                                                                                                                                             

Wow! My mission this weekend is to try to build a bigger snowman than Matt's friend's...                                                                                                                                                                             

Wooo hoooo that is a whopper Matt!!  nice one  lol   TC.. im sure with all that snow up there you will be able to conjure something equally, if not better than that!   TM.. i see you got the white stuff eventually, I don't think old Ma Nature likes to see anyone left out                                                                                                                                                                               

Matt has a whopper???? hmmmm, this just gets better!!!                                                                                                                                                                              

'Tinkering ' Wills ? Is that a technical term                                                                                                                                                                              

has anyone got any ideas how i can get in my car other than opening the boot and climin over the seets to start it.then waitin for someone to come along and close the boot.all the locks freeze and i cant get in.ive tried hot water bottle on key and lock,wd40,vasaline over lock,poured hot water on lock nothing works.when i get to work ive got to climb out the window to escape.after a couple of hours they open but its gettin me down having to open boot to get in

Sounds as if you have done all the normal stuff to try and unfreeze your locks.   If you can get somebody to fit it quickly (possibly Halfords?) you could consider a universal central locking kit with remote control. You can get kits for under £20...                                                                                                                                                                             

thanks but its got central lockin already.im realy fed up with it,my backs done in now with climing in and out of window                                                                                                                                                                             

Ah, right... I see! Sorry, thought it was just the key barrel freezing but it is obviously the whole lock mechanism causing problems.   Looking on Google it appears a lot of people have the same problem with nobody offering solutions. The lock mechanism should work irrespective of whether the barrel is frozen or not.   Going to the gym but will have a think....   (First thoughts are of overgreasing causing problems at low temperatures but surely not...)                                                                                                                                                                             

i would be thankfull if you could help,im not kidding  im so fed up with it,but if you dont think of owt at least you tried. many thanks x                                                                                                                                                                             

Sorry sml - got distracted by Polish gym staff and the offer of a party, Polish vodka and 'preety poleesh girls'....   Will pm you so we don't hijack the thread                                                                                                                                                                              

so come on then TC - did you manage to build a bigger snowman then??                                                                                                                                                                             

puttin the ole 3 incher to use with a bit o luck aye TC!                                                                                                                                                                             

StML ... i have a similar problem with my central locking, only its my boot that wont open.     Turns out (thanks to my nephew) that the battery in the remote is going.. and if i hold the button in for about 4-5 seconds longer it does actually work...   Worh a try??                                                                                                                                                                             

Hfg/tm - I'm afraid I didn't get a chance to play with my 3" this weekend... (am working on a bike-related project so have been glued to my CAD screen).   Anyway, thinking about it I doubt anybody could build a bigger snowman than that!   Or could they??...
