problem locking/opening door
i dont know if its coz of the cold..my my drivers door wont open or lock with the key..the key goes in but wont turn :S and none of my keys open the passenger door anyway so i keep having to climb through the boot dukes of hazard style to get in lol..

It's the cold haha.
Breathe on the bit where you put your key in about 10 times and it'll melt the frost.

Re: problem locking/opening door
its iced up inside, either heat ur key up with a lighter or stick a plaster over the lock when ur not in the car, or climb through the boot like i do!
