Hi all,

Looking for some advice. My car has developed a fault saying that the drivers door is open this only happens in freezing temperatures. Its starting to annoy me as I can't lock the car and need it during the week for work. Only fix I have found is using some wd40 and waiting around 20 minutes whilst trying to jiggle the lock back and forth. I have no idea what to start looking at as when its not sub zero it all works fine.
